Is it just me or did the latest GW build break Direct Song? Or possibly, the music rotation completely? Before Direct Song music would play in about every area, but now it hardly ever does. Instead there seems to be a mixed-up music selection that plays in the wrong place. Examples: music originating from Kryta playing in the Southern Shiverpeaks, the Catacombs/UW/Crystal Desert theme playing in Lion's Arch? It just doesn't fit at all, not to mention the non-DS music is horribly repetitive (3 or 4 towns in a row played the same music). There doesn't seem to be any point in hearing only one or two songs from the music packs I've purchased just a few times a day.

Mine stopped working all together. I also have a couple that I paid for too. Pretty Lame....

I have just the free one. It still works just fine.

I've contacted GW Support on this.

DirectSong and Windows Media Player 9 may have issues.

There are multiple threads started on this, so redirect to here:

I've posted my email thread to GW Support.

The free one just offers higher quality version of the same music files that normal plays and only kicks in on Sorrow's Furnance / Grenth Footprint region.

The other packs alter the normal game music tracks.
