[table] Next Track! Everyone knows True Music by IBrRus, millions of subscribers but they haven't been back to update it in a while. When build 42 came out a_COW_says updated, ported it and expanded it for build 42. Somewhere along the way I joined TM and helped Cow work on the multiplayer code. However, I always knew the ultimate form of this mod exists somewhere in a full remake. • Hand made assets inspired by the OG but refined and new • Likewise with the code, pioneer of MP track seeking, infinite range playback tracking, and ground-to-hand transitions. • Custom Music player API, with the goal being better song continuity between players as they listen to a multitrack tape. • I tried to keep the spirit of the original alive and I've poured countless hours into testing and inventing subsystems to make this work. I hope you enjoy [/table]
