    They've got a hard limit that has to fit into and... if you notice the last few cash shop mounts don't have custom music?
    This makes absolutely no sense. The music files are stored on your PC/console, not on the server. The reason why some cash shop mounts lack custom music is because they didn't give them custom music.

    The orchestrion you can place in a house contains hundreds of songs and allows you to preview music without setting it to play for everyone. You could have several FC members play with it without it affecting others as long as no one saves the playlist.

    The reason why there's no portable orchestrion is either because they don't want to put in the effort of making one, don't want to add it to the game, or because they rather sell you the music on their store.

    You say it makes no sense, and your right, but not for the reason you say it does.

    It, sadly, does work exactly as I said it does.

    You can look through the live letters and the forum for all the other times it was explained.

    If you want to try to understand how it got that way, you have to pay attention to the music as you slide from town to town, from song to song, from combat to not in combat, and notice, really NOTICE when you are in each song.


    The music is synced up. It flows seamlessly from song to song. Sure, there has to be a copy on your end, but it isn't working like you think it works.
    I've described exactly how it works.
    And you are right, it IS just as stupid as it sounds.

    Try as I might I cant find anything in a LL on this topic D: do you happen to know which im super curious. I understand you would lose the seamless music transitions and no one would hear your own personal music but I cant wrap my brain around why it would be impossible since orchestrions already exist. The only thing that would be getting added is the ability to keep listening rather than have the music stop once you leave a particular area.
