Users praise the music aspect for its ease of use, offline functionality, and ability to import custom tracks, making it ideal for enhancing tabletop RPG sessions both online and in person. The program is valued for its flexibility in managing soundscapes, background ambiances, and sound effects without subscription fees. Some users mention occasional issues with custom music playback, but overall it is highly recommended for DMs seeking a robust, user-friendly audio solution.
- “We've been looking for such a long time for an easy way to play music and sound FX on our gaming sessions and this was a godsend; it's easy to use and having the option to use your own library of sounds and music is just awesome.”
- “It also works offline, doesn't demand a subscription, and lets you import your own music and effects, which puts it leagues beyond most of the trash out there these days.”
- “I was searching for a way to easily bring music and FX into my online campaigns, and this is basically the dream program I always envisioned.”
- “This program has so much potential but most of the time the custom music I add doesn't play.”
- “I am not much into having my own sounds in the app; I'd rather have the collections that include music and sound effects made by the team because those are already organized and illustrated, which makes it easier for me. That said, I hope more packs are released in the next few months.”
- “It is with a heavy heart that I sing a song of the highest praise for RPG Sounds, but must acknowledge its failures.”
