Runescape Music
When Runescape Classic was running there was no music for the F2P, but some music for the members. This has been improved on in Runescape 2, the current version as each time you enter a location you will hear a different piece of music which is especially for that place. If you haven’t heard that particular sound before then congratulations, you have just unlocked it in your Runescape music players.

When you unlock any song it is added automatically to your Runescape music player for you to play as many times as you want at a later date, no matter where you are in the world of Runescape. Of course, members do get extra songs than free players because they can travel to more cities or dungeons and unlock that place’s tune.

You can see a screenshot of the music player to the right. If a tune has been unlocked then its text colour will be green, if not then it stays red.

 
Runescape Music Player Settings
When the ‘AUTO’ button is selected this means that the tune will play automatically. When the ‘AUTO’ button is selected a type of music, depending on where you are will play only once. If you move into a different area then the tune that you were listening to changes and again will only play once.

When the ‘MAN’ button is selected it means that you must manually select a tune to play yourself, no song will play automatically. When the ‘MAN’ button is selected you can choose whichever song you want to play by clicking on the name. Songs will not change when you move into a new area.

Runescape Sound Effects
Jagex have also added sound effects. Depending on where you are you will hear different sounds. For example, when you are walking through a bit of country you may hear the birds singing or when you are mining you may hear your pick axe hitting the rock. The difference  between the area player tunes and the sound effects are that area tunes play when you move into a certain area and the sound effects play when you are carrying out an action or passing animals, etc.

There is also another set of controls that you can use to change the volume or turn certain effects off. You can see to the left:

The more you move a slider to the right, the louder the effect is. If you move a slider completely to the left then you can mute the sounds completely. As you can see in the options above, all of the sound effects have been muted. The first music slider (second row) allows you to change the volume of the song from the music player. The second music slider (third row) allows you to change the sound effects volume and the third music slider (fourth row) allows you to adjust the volume for areas.

Over at Sals Realm of Runescape there is a brief section about Runescape Music – you can find it via Google – that gives you some instructions on how you can go about saving the Runescape mp3 files to your computer so you can listen to them while you’re not playing Runescape or to embed them into your Runescape fansite. Enjoy.
