Installation of Simple Music is quite simple, you extract the contents of SimpleMusic2.3.005.zip into your WoW Directory /Interface/Addons.
What does it do?
Simple Music was a mod designed to play some commonly liked in-game songs. These songs are already in-game, and there are no plans to support out of game songs.
How does it work?
When loading the game the Simple Music menu will appear, to play a song you simply click that button, the song will start playing, and the menu will close.
To reopen the menu at a later time you can just type /SM and hit enter, and it will once again appear.
Wait.. why isn't MY favorite song on there?
Unfortunately your favorite in-game song isn't on there because you haven't told me you love that song! So just post a comment or send a PM with your favorite in-game song, and I will do my best to have it added to a newer version.

Optional Files - Simple Music
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
Originally posted by Madlax Kudos for an excellent addon,i have a small music request.
is it possible to add Nagrands theme ? not the one when you are near a post rather when you are traveling in the elements and mobs areas.
it has dreamy slow theme, i,d appreciate it if you add it.
I will PM you with a few macros to play different songs I find for nagrand, and you can tell me which one is the correct one, and it will be included in the next update. Expect the PM within an hour.
Sorry about the lack of updates! But I do plan to update soon! I will be making the menu smaller, by adding drop down menus with category names.. like Zone Music, Inn Music, Etc! The update coming after that, will be implementing the option for a custom song, yes, a, as in you can only have one custom song, but you can always change that song via the options.
And.. hopefully dreadlorde will be done with the textures eventually, but we never know.
BTW no set date for the update, but expect it within.. the next 5 years :P

Ok, well I remembered that that isn't where they start at really, they start in Sunstrider Isle, I have Eversong Woods ( Day ) music added though, I'll change if it's the wrong one.

Hey, I have a grandiose idea for a music addon, every time you do an action in it let's have it play a stupid as hell and LOUD guitar riff that will override all other sound.
Also, the songs are terrible. I'd suggest learning the script commands to play songs yourself and make macros for them(it's not hard). I mean, that's all this add-on does for you, just a bad ui to do it in. should be more like this

with a huge list of songs, possibly a search. No reason for the buttons to be that big and fail to contain the full title of a song, no reason for it to eat up most of the screen. I know it's probably in it's early stages but this is a totally unneeded add-on to start with. If an add-on is not providing new function it must make using existing functions as easy as possible, while perhaps changing the way it is seen. See mik's scrolling battle text for an example of this.
It's just too featureless to be a great add-on as it is right now. If the ui style isn't going to be changed I'd sure as hell like to scale it down so it doesn't fill up my screen. A stop button that doesn't require the ui up(right click the minimap button maybe?) would be good too.

Originally posted by NavyFC Wow! Thanks for the quick updates. I consider the looping music an unexpected feature, not a bug, heh.
I would like everyone's opinions on this "feature". I personally don't mind it since I sometimes enjoy listening to the same song a few times before switching to another one. And anyone that doesn't want to listen to the same song again can simply click the stop button after listening to the song.
So please post if you don't mind the looping songs, or if you do mind and would like it removed.
Popular vote wins :P
Minimap button version will be uploaded within the next hour, it doesn't support dragging of the button yet.. but it will later on. It's positioned to the middle left side of the minimap. Click it will open the playmenu.
Also, new version will include the new loaded song .. yay
