Usage

You can even chance the on click behaviour to your liking. The default setting is:

  • left click - play next song
  • middle click - play/stop
  • right click - show options
  • use scroll wheel - adjust music volume
  • Ctrl use scroll wheel - adjust effects volume
  • alt use scroll wheel - fine adjust volume
  • alt click - show playlist
  • shift click - play last song
  • ctrl click - Write artist and title to default chat. (guild,party etc.)

All of these work on the mini map button, the 3dmodel, the gui text and the broker plugin. You don't need the gui visible at all.

  • /emp (show the options dialog)
  • /emp ctr (list control options)
  • /emp op (list other options)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add music to the player?


Here is a guide with screenies:)

But for advanced users it's easy:

  1. Double click the "create_playlist.bat" in the Playlistmanger folder. (Exit Wow if running!)
  2. Just drag and drop some mp3 music files/folders into the Playlist-Manager.
  3. Close EMP-Playlist-Manager (be sure to click "Yes" Save Playlist.)

Start WoW and enjoy your music while farming:)

Do I have to copy all of my music files to the wow folder?

No. The Playlist Manager can create links (inside the wow folder) that point to your original music folder. That way wow thinks the files are in the wow folder.

You can enable this by:
Windows Vista:
Just go to "Tools > Options" and change copy to create links.

Windows XP:
Download junction.exe from microsoft: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx and put it into the junction folder of the playlist manager.

You should also install "ntfslink" (http://elsdoerfer.name/=ntfslink ) To make the use of the links (junctions) save with windos xp. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_junction_point#Windows_XP_Professional for more information.

And now go to "Tools > Options" and change copy to create links.

How do I move the the GUI Window?

grab the frame at the very border or between the buttons to move it.

Can I use the music folder of an other addon e.g. soundtrack?

Yes, you can set any folder within the wow folder as your music folder. I use "..\World of Warcraft\mymusic" as my music folder.

Why is there no pause button?

Not possible with wow. As is playing a song at a specific position. An addon can only tell wow to play and stop a song thats it.

Where the hell is the playlist?

"..\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables\EpicMusicPlayer.lua"

Why is the model not moving more to the edge of the screen?

The model frame is larger than the model and a frame with a model can't be moved off screen.

Troubleshooting

music stops in fight

The music sometimes stops or the wow music starts playing. This is a wow bug. Try to set your sound channels to maximum. Options > Sound & Voice > Sound Channels > High (Maximum) Also try to enable/disable hardware sound. But when lots of sounds are played (raid instance fights) the problem still may occur.

music plays from beginning

The song stops playing and starts from the beginning after a loading screen (e.g. entering an instance or /console reloadui) This is a new wow bug since patch 2.4.3. I only could fix this so far that the song starts from start instead playing the game music. I have reported this in the eu forums but unless someone with an us account finally reports this in the us ui-forum blizzard developers will never know of this because they are not interested in any thing from the eu community.

And it's not the zone change because this was not a problem before 2.4.3 and the music also stops if you try to enter a low level instance in heroic mode. That of course is not possible but you get an loading screen for less than a second and the music played by the game itself or by an addon stops but a zone change event is not fired.

playlist manager not starting

You need the at least Java 6 installed, sry. http:\\java.com

You have installed Java and the playlist manager is still not starting?
Edit the batch file create_playlist.bat (right click -> edit) and change EVERY java.exe to the full path of your LATEST java.exe (see C:\Program Files\Java\).

For instance:
java.exe -version
will become:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -version
and
java.exe -jar EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar
will become:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -jar EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar
Don't forget the double quotas (") it does not work without them!

playlist manager error

I get the following error with the playlist manager "Could not Find Main Class.Program Will Exit" You get this error when the lib folder is not in the same folder as EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar You can't run the EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar from the zip file, you have to extract the whole zip first.

Known bugs

  • The 3dmodel disappears sometimes especially when you hide the ui (alt+y).

You miss a feature, don't like something about the player or have a problem to set it up? Please let me know. I look forward to your feedback.

    Is it possible to "spam" it to custom channel, focus or a target that I write its name?

    the label is from Titan Panel, you can disable it in the Titan Panel config.

    Great Addon, excellent work. I am having an issue after I switch computers that I play WoW on. After moving to a new machine and installing the addon, EPM doesn't seem to find any of my saved playlists once I start the game, it only has an empty playlist and the 5 or so track playlist it initially comes with. I attempted to uninstall and reinstall, deleting all saved variables associated, etc. I can't even get it to recognize just a playlist with ingame music either, so I know it's not my music. I am making sure to save the playlist after making it and after I close the program and reopen the playlist manager, it still has my saved playlists, they just aren't showing up ingame. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Please open the playlist manager and go to Tools -> Options.
    Check if "Save-to" is set to all-accounts.
    Also check the music folder setting.

    Hope that helps.

    Yup, only have 1 account so that section is grayed out, can't change it from what it started as. Had the music folder set correctly and in the WoW folder even. Tried reinstalling again and only trying to get a ingame music list going, and didn't work either. Sorry, something on my system seems to be messing it up, are there any known addons that might interfer with it?

    So... any chance your going to (or can you?) make a winamp style media library? or at least something basic. Select Artist > album > play.

    Reply Report Permalink
  • yess said 

    no sry, just type the name of the album in the search filed and play the search list.

    Could you maybe a a feature to change the volume for specific songs. because the mp3 files i use is different in volume.
    Not like its a very important thing to get but it saves me from an ear rape when i forgot to turn volume down before next song :)

    awesome addon. Love it.

  • yess said 

    sorry but thats just out of the scope of the addon. But you could copy/move songs that are to way to loud to a separate list and correct the volume with a program like audacity later.
    That way you get rid of that problem forever^^

    I added the player a few days ago and it was awesome. Logged on the next day and the addon will allow me to select music and it seems that it is playing but the music volume is at 0% and I can not get it to change. The rest of the buttons work fine. I tried reinstalling over existing files and deleting files then reinstalling but I still can not get it to work. Any suggestions?

    You can go to the WoW Sound & Voice options and check the volumes are up and if the music playback is enabled there.

    But it also can be a problem with a wrong music folder setting.
    Can you play the songs with the playlist manager program?

    Fantastic addon, thanks so much for it! :)
    Any chance to see an event/zone list switching system one day? Would be so cool to have a Dalaran list, a desert/jungle/forest list, a combat list, a day and a night list, inn list, etc. :D

    Yes I will add this some day, maybe when I have more time.
    I would be more motivated to work on the addon if blizzard would finally fix the annoying addon music playing bugs.
    But most likely the do not even know about the bugs because they have never been reported on the us forums.

    Request/Question:

    Is it possible to change what Clicking on Titan Panel/Broker link does, right now it skips to the next song, could it be changed to start/stop the music instead?
