I agree that the new music is better, but immediately dropping 5
pieces cuts off 1/3rd of our music options.
IMHO we don't have new music pieces that represent all the same moods
as those indended for removal.
A more "Wesnothain" approach would be to replace these pieces as new,
better racial/mood music is written. There are still some very ugly
terrains in the game (which i despise), but since they are used, they
stay in the game until something better can be created.
I haven't heard anyone claiming that the music is a detraction to the
game. And now, since multiple pieces can be played over a level
those pieces that could get annoying don't have to repeat so often.
P.S. i would like to hear the old "main_menu" theme used again for
save/load dialog boxes. The new theme is great for the main page,
but i find it too exciting/energetic for the mundane task of saving/
loading, since it's usually much more bombastiic than that levels music.

Hi everyone!
In the last days I talked to our music devs about the new music and
the old pieces. Here is an exerpt from a pm from TimothyP:
Aleksi and I really want to get rid of:
wesnoth-3
wesnoth-4
wesnoth-6
wesnoth-7
wesnoth-8
And yes, they need to be removed from the campaign. Simply put: these
are the terrible pieces of music that made me want to join up and
make
good music for the game. Everything else can be kept in the library
for now. We might eventually want to get rid of ZhayMusic pieces, but
they're okay for now.
We should start to remove these pieces from the campaigns and switch
to the new system with a playlist for *all* the factions. This would
result in not having different musics for different factions at all,
but I think this would be a lot better than the current music.
In Two Brothers the music listed above is already not used anymore.
From the other campaigns it needs to be removed. I think the
wishes by
the musics team are completely understandable and should be followed.
