Musician
Listen to and play music with nearby players. For the first time in World of Warcraft, your character can literally become a bard!
Description
Musician allows your character to play music that can be heard by the other players nearby, provided that they have installed the add-on as well. Any song file in MIDI format can be played. There are 24 instruments available including lute, harp, trumpet, violin, war horn but also drumkit and electric guitar. It's also possible to perform live music using your computer keyboard as a piano.
How to use
To listen to the music played by the other players, there is nothing to do but having the add-on installed. The music can be heard within a range of 40 meters. It's possible to block the music from specific characters using the player menu. If you have enabled the nameplates, a 🎵 icon will show up next to the name of the players who also have installed Musician. In addition, super cool musical notes will animate while playing!
To play music, click on the minimap icon to open the menu, select Import and play a song then follow the instructions. Songs can be saved in game using the optional Musician List add-on. To play live, click Open keyboard in the main menu. It's also possible to play with a MIDI keyboard using Musician MIDI.
There is a lot of other features. Check out the README and the Wiki to learn more. In addition, you can join the Discord server to get live support, share music, report bugs etc.

Sadly its missing any form of flute
block/ bamboo/ anything would be appreciated
In reply to Freizeitspielaer:
There is the "recorder" which is sometimes called the "straight flute", the one that has a whistle and is played vertically. It's on MIDI program 74.
If you want other kind of flutes such as pan flute (MIDI 75) or transverse flute (MIDI 73), feel free to make a add-on for it . As an example, you can check out Musician Piano and the documentation and tools :

This currently has a compatibility issue with ElvUI where nameplate health bars ALWAYS show even if you have the option ticked to only show in combat.
Also, why did you put nameplates and animations in the same option? Can't you have one without the other?
In reply to Devil_Cup:
Musician's nameplate settings are for standard nameplates only. If you have any nameplate customization addon such as ElvUI, Kui or whatever, you may need to adjust this setting in the nameplate addon's settings.
Hello, love your addon. But, run into a problem, accidentally hit the "Enable nameplates and animations" wish changed them, and when I unclicked the option it screwed with my TRP3 nameplates. Know what other addons might be interfering with the nameplates?
In reply to mossa_san:
Just press CTRL+V to toggle the nameplates. It should work fine with TRP3 nameplates
In reply to LenweSaralonde:
Ah, haha, I always forget about the CTRL+V, thanks.
Is there a way to reduce the volume of the music only? Sometimes it's so loud I have to turn my wow volume to like 16%.
In reply to anrisa_ryn:
Unfortunately, there is no way to adjust the volume.
Is there a way to shut someone else's music without having to click on them. Can be hard to find in a sea of people.
Maybe "Mute currently playing Musician" button?
In reply to BambisFaline:
You can mute / stop the player from the chat by finding the "Player is playing music" emote.
Also, if you have nameplates enabled, you'll see who is playing by the musical notes flying away from the character.
Game says I have an update. Go to Curseforge. No update to be shown.
In reply to Revenwyn:
The CurseForge client may take some time to show the update. Download it manually from the website if you don't want to wait.
You'll need to update MusicianList as well.
This addon is absolutely amazing!
When i configure the keyboard i have nothing between the / and Shift on the fourth row and it wont let me save
In reply to katiebuzz99:
Did you properly set the first key of the last row ? The first key can be the left shift key (for example on US QWERTY keyboards)
In reply to LenweSaralonde:
It worked thanks!
Man...wish more would get this addon; even if they're not on a RP Server.
In reply to Illutian:
Agree. If you want you can promote it in your guild, friends etc. Show them the video above, it's quite convincing :D
In reply to LenweSaralonde:
I mean...just playing Thundercats theme song as the raid is about to start (so ~2 minutes before the start time), should be enough! :P
