The Easy Music Manager overhaul is live on FAB

The Easy Music Manager overhaul is live on FAB, and it is still free.

The old version kept your track list inside the manager's own settings. This one moves it out. Every track is now a row in a DataTable, and each row carries its own configuration, so you add a song by adding a row.

What that gives you:

• Ambient playback in order or at random. Random mode will not repeat a track until the cycle finishes, so a short playlist still feels varied.
• An optional first track, for a level that needs to open on something specific.
• Requested tracks that sit outside the ambient rotation and play only when something asks for them. Drop a music trigger into your level and the system switches while the player is inside it, then returns to ambient music when they leave.
• Three transition modes: cut, crossfade, and fade out then fade in. Fade-in time, fade-out time and the gap between tracks are all yours to set, and you can change them later without rebuilding your music setup.
• Looping set per track inside the manager, so you are not fighting import settings on individual audio assets.

A Master and Music Sound Class structure ships with it, ready to wire into an options menu. So does a demo map that plays each transition mode, so you can hear the difference before you commit to one.

Builds for Unreal Engine 5.5, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8. Blueprint only, no C++ and no middleware.

The documentation on this site has been replaced to match: a beginner guide for getting a soundtrack running, and an advanced guide covering how the manager works underneath. The older guides are still up under Legacy if you are on an earlier release.

If something behaves differently to how you expect it to, tell us in the Discord. That is where the next update gets decided.
