Use your own music ingame. Aha!

Volkodav

I just figured it out.I have a file on desktop,and before I go ingame,I hit play al plus they loopl.There are about 40 songs in it that I gathered for this purpose.They all fit nicely too.A lot of them are movie music by Hans Zimmer,and Howard Store.Also some songs culled from other games like The Witcher. I do like the music ESO already has,but it can get kinda same same after a bit.

I listen to metal whilst I play.....its perfect.

Or you could just play in window mode and have your music be Itunes or youtube playing in the back ground and have the in game music turned down and if you're console well again just have your phone on a speaker or something.

Well,I havent found more than one or two songs in youtube that play but once.I dont want to keep having to go in and hit play again.I dont use Itunes either.I just use the music on my hard drive. }
Also,I like full screen playing.

i really don't like putting on my own music when playing RPG's though. sure during delves or pvp i could do it but still don't. But when i play shooters or race games then i always put on the metal

Volkodav

The music I gathered is from either other games or from movies.They really fit ESO. They're the same style and feel of the original music.Just a bit more songs.There arent too many in the game.
Some is even from Morrowind.

I use iTunes on my second screen, and when I want to have my learnt-traits .excel doc open instead I use the little LCD screen on my keyboard to control my music

I play one of three different playlists:
-Metal (Avenged Sevenfold, Alter Bridge, Blind Guardian, Dragonforce, Rhapsody)
-Previous TES soundtracks (I have the 2-disc version of the Skyrim one, so if I run out of that whilst playing I know I've been on too long)
-Calming quiet Rock (Augie March, Arcade Fire, Josh Pike, A Perfect Circle)


Basically if you have two screens (you should be able to pick up an old 1440x900 for pretty cheap at garage sales and the like, as 1920x1080 seems to be king now), you can have a music player/playlist showing on that so as to ease transition. You could even use VLC as a music player if you don't like iTunes?

Eh, I did try those but they didn't stick with me as much. Kamelot in particular was just a bit absurd at times which I liked but it didn't necessarily fit with the music as well as it could...

Windowed mode? No. Just ALT + Tab out and start any other program on your PC that plays music and ALT + Tab back to ESO and turn the in game Audio down.

Yup.That's what I do.

MrDerrikk

I use windowed mode, but only because it measn I don't have to alt+tab out to my 2nd screen. That's pretty much the main use I see for it.

Spotify for the win

You have two screens, but you play in windowed mode.....

In my old office I had 3 screens on my desktop, two for my work station, and one for my surveillance monitor. Then I especially use ALT + Tab as a superior task switcher (and you don't have to play any media in windowed mode).

The LCD screen on the keyboard to control the music sounds nice.

Ah sorry, I meant Fullscreen-Windowed mode, in that it's borderless, but lets me drag the cursor straight onto the second screen when needed.
