About EpicMusicPlayer

EpicMusicPlayer is a ingame mp3/ogg music player with multipe playlist support a fubar plugin and a fancy little 3d model.

features:

Multiple playlist support
Add/Remove playlists ingame.
Move songs between playlists ingame
Search for a song
Playlist with all original wow ingame music included
Included playlist manager to easy add your music with drag and drop. (needs Java installed, should work on mac osx but not tested yet)
Supports mp3 or ogg music files.
Supports all characters in id3tags (Unicode) No need to rename any of your files.
The playlist manager will not replace your last created list but load and show the list you could have changed ingame.

Extras

Fubar plugin
Epicmusicdancer a fancy little 3d model which will play/dance to your music (optional addon)
Currently featuring Sid Nicious, Bergrisst, Mai'Kyl and Chief Thunder-Skins of The Tauren Chieftains. I first hat the idea to add a dancing ogre but unfortunately this (and most other models) won't display or dance as they should with the wow addon api.

The Epicmusicdancer and the Fubar plugin are seperate addons.
You can disable them or even not copy them to your interface folder.

Usage:

left click - play next song
midle 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 minimap button, the gui text and the fubar text/icon.
You don't need the gui visible at all.

Slash commands:

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

If you like Sig Nicious the bandbloodelf i will add more of the bandmembers:)
You miss a feature or don't like something about the player? Please let me know.
I look forward to your feedback.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

None of the music that I made with the play list manager shows up in-game. I used the little java program and all the music that i want is in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\EpicMusicPlayer\music. I notice something when creating and saving the play lists though. The Files emp.config and backup.lua appeared on my desktop. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

The Files emp.config and backup.lua will alway be created in the folder where the EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar is in. Thats just fine.

If you add music to the playlist manager save and close it and then start the playlist manager again is the music you added still there?

You could also try this:
Quit wow if running.
Delete the playlist at "..\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables\EpicMusicPlayer.lua"

Then create a new playlist with the playlist manager.
Check if the playlist is now in the folder as stated above. If not check your account and music folder settings (Tools > Options).
Start wow.

You double click on EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar an nothing happens? Or do you get the music folder selection dialog and a problem after that?

Do you have java 6? or an older version?

Could you pleas try to run EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar from a dosbox and post any errors you see.
like this:
Sart > run > cmd
now change to the folder where EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar is (eg in folder C:\emp)
enter: cd "C:\emp"
finaly enter: java -jar EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar

after ver 0.7.4, when you click on the playlist in the fubar tooltip the playlist window doesn't show. It does nothing. I'm going to roll back to an earlier version for absolute verification.

Hmm what exactly do you mean with "on the playlist in the fubar tooltip"?

In any version only a click on the artist/songname in the tooltip will open the playlist. And this works fine with version 0.7.5 at least for me.

I once hat the problem that this did not work on every click. But that was not an EMP issue because all clickable fubar tooltips were affected.

All WoW mp3 players require you to have the mp3s under the WoW folder somewhere, WoW won't load mp3s from anywhere else, so, you may as well stop looking for one that plays them without downloading them, and either use WinAmp, or pick an addon and use it.

it is in the package, don't know where the curse client extracts the files. Just download the the file without the curse client once the install-en.txt is in there.

An addon can't send your music to others just play what is in their wow folder.
It would work with the ingame music but there is no point in that at all^^

But you could use the voice chat of wow to let others hear your music. Not the best quality tho xD

There is an addon called gag that does something like this, but, for it to work, every one around you would have to have the same mod and the same mp3s.
