Hi. I know that many do not listen to music when racing, because it is, in their opinion, distracting... but I have had the add on tracks of LFS for a long time now, and have some questions and sugestions about them.
First, I think that, even through the music is "not the newest hit on the radio" it is still very good, and I have recently been wanting to add it to my ipod.
I was wondering if it would be possible to offer an mp3 download of the music as well on the main LFS site or the add on site? The only stuff I found was the original OGG format audio. This also makes me wonder if there have been any new tunes in the works, as a side project?
EDIT: To not take up extra space here's another sugestion which imo will please a lot of LFS users:
Remake the music player in LFS to run MP3 files and maybe give it one of those "pop-up" displays showing the current song that just began for S3 and some eye candy?
I feel that the feature should either be more accessible to people, withought the converting hassle, and a bit "updated", or perhaps, removed entirely if the team does not wish to spend their time doing this.
REASON FOR THIS: currently, the bit is not really used, and most people just turn off in-game music and use winamp, WMP, itunes, etc. instead. So, if you just take it out, there is less clutter and less memory taking up space. I however, hope that this is not the route the devs take.
Well, anyway, there it goes, and I hope that we can get this addressed.
EDIT#2:
Perhaps an alternate solution for the music player is to hold a pole, and if enough people dont use it, remove it from the program until the piece is redone a bit and can support other formats. I think that this is possibly the best overall solution for now, with patch y looming just ahead.
