If you’re looking to add a background music player to your game — not tied to gameplay but purely for in-game listening — this asset is the perfect plug-and-play solution.
Each player gets their own independent music player, running only on the owning client, with no cross-triggering or interference between players. Perfect for multiplayer, co-op, or solo games where players want to enjoy music in the background.
🔧 How It Works
All functionality is neatly packed into a single Actor Component:📦 BPC_MusicStation
✅ To integrate:
Add the component to your Player Controller — and you're done! It’s ready to use out of the box.
🎵 To add your own music and playlists:
Import your music files (WAV format recommended).
Create a Data Table for each playlist (with song info: title, artist, audio file).
Link all your playlists using a master Playlists Data Table.
🎛️ Built-in Features:
Everything is handled locally per player — multiplayer-safe by design.
Very neat and nifty little player!
Needs documentation though.
I am unable to locate the compact mode. Is there also an option for autoplay on start?

Thanks for the nice feedback! Documentation coming very soon:) along with a detailed video on how to customize the player. Yes, it’s very easy to set it to Autoplay on beginPlay and to set the shuffle mode as well to play randomly from all your Playlists. Press F8 in the demo to see all the Keyboard shortcuts, and press “M” to switch from clicker mode to compact mode or to completely hide the player.

Hi, could you please explain how to get the Music station to Autoplay music? I have it working as normal, but can’t seem to set it up to just play at start. Otherwise awesome work! Thanks
If you’re looking for a solid music station for Unreal Engine, I’d suggest checking out platforms that specialize in royalty-free or game-ready tracks, like Artlist, Epidemic Sound, or even the Unreal Marketplace itself, where you can find curated audio packs designed for seamless integration. The key is choosing music that can adapt dynamically to gameplay, from ambient exploration themes to intense battle scores, enhancing the player’s immersion. Personally, I’ve had great results using adaptive tracks that can layer or transition depending on in-game events— link makes the world feel alive. Experimenting with different genres and moods really helps you discover what fits best, and it’s exciting to see how a soundtrack can transform the whole gaming experience.
