Can we get the option of having the newer music, or at least have it implemented somewhere else?

Can someone explain me what this means? And what FE is (in the second point of the notes)?

There's a global sound mixer that has an audio volume output that's being added into it, so now they can make some sounds relatively louder than others easier, and the Front End is just a construct that houses all of the GUI, sounds, etc that the user sees directly and can influence.

[Mike23Ua 9981]

Can we have the option of which music we want the game to play (the new or the old) cause this may be an unpopular choice but- I enjoy the new.

[Canis 13060]

The first 3 are worded very weirdly; I can't quite wrap my head around them.

[sinisterrkid 1620]

I'm guessing they reverted to the original Autumn Work music because the new one was a bit distoant for a chill setting, but also everyone agrees that it was still an awesome piece and that the DST composers are amazing.

[reverentsatyr 2905]

Aw, I liked the new music. It was nice to have a small change from the repetitive music I hear so much.

[Electroely 4568]

I really liked the new Autumn work music...Will it be re-implemented elsewhere? I hope so.

[Cpt. KatKit 231]

Pile one more like for the new songs. Imo the game needs some more songs to increase variety. Even if it was just some global work\battle theme that randomly replaced the seasonal one.

[fimmatek 4301]

Thanks @CarlZalph! Btw, I see Peter has already edited his post a bit ;P

Btw, @everyone about the new music: if I recall correctly, @dansorce said that it'll be part of a (near?) future update, but wasn't supposed to come out already? Unfortunately I didn't find that post of his and I don't want to scroll through every recent RoT thread.

Anyways, I hope (and think) it'll be back some time soon, maybe as the islands exclusive soundtrack.

[cantbeatdaboss 502]

Yet another plus one, ANR songs are some of the best out of the soundtrack in my opinion, I'd love for some new songs.

You said it was work music, can it be placed on the moon island?

I hope the new music isn't put on the lunar island...

Where should it be placed then?

[-Variant 6249]

It was said the new music wasn't meant to be here a bit ago, but I'm 100% it's coming back someplace else.

I feel like it was meant to be placed over the ocean, that's my bet at least.

[SonicDen220 2393]

Aww, I was jamming out to the new theme, sad to hear it gone so soon.

I would want it back as the autumn theme, but since that won't happen having it as a sailing theme would be good.

It would make sailing a bit more exciting.

FE - Front end aka loading screen aka Start screen aka host game screen.

We're going to take another crack at getting it right soon. Stay tuned

[Well-met 5323]

Since I haven't seen anyone mentioning this, I assume that most players don't know, but (skins related spoiler) :

Spoiler

There's a new fire pit skin for Hot Lava beta participants(?)  

I'm surprised people still didn't datamine this ( @Instant-Noodles, I'm deeply disappointed. ;P). I assume it was added with this update, which would then also explain why it happened at the same time Hot Lava got released.

I'm noticing this, is this not in the Beta? I do happen to own the game, and even after a fresh install mine hasn't shown up.
Am I missing something or shall I wait?

Not just beta participants, but all owners.
