Do you think Electronic arts should include mp3 support in future need for speed games besides their default music?

Hell yes the music they put in is crap, It would be nice to listen to some decent tunes whilst racing for once.

Yes all the way

yes indeed, i usually have my amp hooked upto my cd player and play my own music while playing with nfs music turned off, it would be a relief to not do all that just to listen to something good to play to

Yeah that's thrue! But they put some really great songs into MW! And there are awsome songs in UG2! Especialy in menu!

Post by **YaelDjiel** » 11 Aug 2006, 16:50

the only ones with good music were the old nfs' and HP2 and U1
the rest sucked

so HELL yes MP3 funtion (or OGG w/e, just custom music would rule)

Why not, though I turn the music off during driving/racing anyway.

I just turn the music off in the game and listen to mine in WMP, but MP3 support wouldn't hurt.

Dudes, there is a much simpler solution (it must be simple, cos I use it!). Therefore I voted "no", because, as far as I am concerned, it is totally irrelevant and EA could spend the time required making a better game (as if that's going to happen

).

All I do, is hook up my MP3 player via a cable from the earphone socket on the iPod (other MP3 players are available) to the "line-in" on the back of the PC, turn off EA's shizzle music, ensure "line in" is enabled in Windows and there you go - glorious Motorhead in (in my case) glorious 5.1 surround sound. This also has the benefit of using next to no processing power, as I'm not running WinAmp at the same time; the PC is purely being used as a hardware Amp.

Well, it works for me.

that is indeed an awesome option... but becomes useless if you do not have a mp3 player of somesort

Ya, but then you get 256kb/s crappiness.

not if your MP3 player supports higher frequency audio.

Post by **TheStig** » 12 Aug 2006, 01:07

Who needs music... turn it off and listen to the glorious engine sounds... volume out loud and off you go... that for me is music to my ears

evilmegamonkey · Post by **evilmegamonkey** » 12 Aug 2006, 02:28

Im not alone when I turn off all the sound except the cars.

Feels wierd having something in common with Stiggy though >_>

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 12 Aug 2006, 02:52

What are you talking about? The Stig loves to listen to his power ballads!

I can't remember what episode of Top Gear that was...

evilmegamonkey · Post by **evilmegamonkey** » 12 Aug 2006, 02:59

Gotta have is Marvin Gaye! Or Aretha Franklin!

If there was MP3 support mine would have both of the aforementioned artists

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 12 Aug 2006, 03:33

i too turn off all the sounds besides the cars except in the safe house which i only have like 3 songs that i like all the others are rap which i think is crap

Fadeproof · Post by **Fadeproof** » 12 Aug 2006, 08:49

yes for me (but i voted no by accident)...it doesnt make much difference to me though becasue i just play the music i have saved on the console....or if i cant do that i play my music through the home theatre system

You can even do it with a tape recorder or even a radio, anything that has an "earphone" socket. I used to use an old cassette deck myself (only purchased an MP3 player as I had so many "Nectar" points from the fuel I buy for my job, it was almost "free" from Argos!)

evilmegamonkey · Post by **evilmegamonkey** » 12 Aug 2006, 22:28

I have something like an RA UF Adapter that you plug into the headphone socket of anything then put it in the cassette player. Only way I can listen to some of my songs.
