When DirectSong music is playing in the game, the DirectSong icon in the Options panel will light up.<br /> <br /> ==Past Offerings (for Guild Wars)==<br /> ===Soundtracks===<br /> * [[Guild Wars Prophecies]] Special Edition Soundtrack (320 kb/s) $5.99<br /> * [[Guild Wars Factions]] original Soundtrack (320 kb/s) $9.99<br /> * [[Guild Wars Nightfall]] original Soundtrack (320 kb/s) $9.99<br /> * [[Guild Wars Eye of the North]] original Soundtrack (320 kb/s) $9.99 <br /> <br /> ===Expansion packs===<br /> * Guild Wars Battle Pack One (320 kb/s) $5.99<br /> * Guild Wars Prophecies [[Sorrow's Furnace]] Mini-Pak (128 kb/s) (free)<br /> <br /> ===Redemption codes===<br /> * [[Guild Wars Prophecies#Guild Wars Special Edition (box content)|Guild Wars Special Edition]] Bonus Music (exclusive) (128 kb/s)<br /> * [[Guild Wars Factions#Guild Wars Factions Collector's Edition (box content)|Guild Wars Factions Collector's Edition]] Expansion Music (exclusive) (128 kb/s)<br /> * [[Guild Wars Nightfall#Guild Wars Nightfall Collector's Edition (box content)|Guild Wars Nightfall Collector's Edition]] Bonus Music (exclusive) (128 kb/s)<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> * DirectSong no longer allows the purchase of Soundtracks and Expansion packs, nor the redemption of Collector's Edition codes.<br /> * There is presently no way to download previously purchased or redeemed content from DirectSong. <br /> &lt;!-- Previously, --&gt;<br /> * Previously acquired WMA (as opposed to MP3) copies of the expanded soundtracks still work in-game. The following requirements must have been met:<br /> ** &lt;code&gt;RegisterDirectSongDirectory.exe&lt;/code&gt; has been used to add the folder containing the DirectSong WMA files to Windows' registry.<br /> ** A compatible &lt;code&gt;GuildWars.ds&lt;/code&gt; file in the DirectSong storage directory. This file contains the playlist to be used by the game; using an older version of the file will prevent newer music from being played ingame.<br /> ** A compatible version of Windows' &lt;code&gt;wmvcore.dll&lt;/code&gt; in the Guild Wars directory. The version provided with Windows 10 no longer supports the technology used to verify and allow protected wma playback.<br /> *Due to an unintended side-effect of how music is triggered during cinematics, any added tracks set to play during cinematics will not play. The only way to trigger playback of these tracks would be to [[Media:DirectSong advanced modification instructions.jpg|manually edit]] the [[/GuildWars.ds|GuildWars.ds]] file to play them in other scenarios. <br /> **An incomplete listing of tokens used in the ''.ds'' file can be found [[/Tokens|here]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:ArenaNet partners]]</div>
