While I agree that Disenchanting Melody is useless I have used two of the
other songs you mentioned recently:

MMM I use this regularly to help the group get away from single large mobs
(like giants and griffons) either when a fight goes bad or when we are
suprised (outside only of course). For instance last week I was in a group
that teleported into the druid gate in North Karana. Unfortunately there was
a giant right by the gate and he attacked us. Because I have a fast
connection I regained control first and used MMM to get a bit of space
between us and the giant - we all survived.
Its also handy in duelling if you get blinded, by a paladin for instance.

I also used identify last week to find out which part of the rune of one eye
I had for my lambent armour quests. Its the only time I have used this song
though.

I would like to see identify replaced but MMM is far from useless IMHO, at
least while there is still stuff to fight outside. I have never used the
psalm series in anger and would like to see these made more useful.

Can't say that I have ever groupped with anybody that said...

"...my god kerouac - thank god your here... please play that see invis song
please"
or
"...wow, never knew bards could sing a so I could see invis - cool"

Don't most casters get see invis WAY before lvl 24? And most humans have
found a way to deal with the night vision by lvl 24, unless there is a
recent death involved... That's what I mean when I say useless...

There is no doubt alot of our songs are specialized, like the psalm series
and such... but, there are about 6 uselss - they are TOO specialized.

MMM, Disenchanting, Identify jump right to mind, am I to toss the lvl 24
song into that same heap now? Can they be used, yes... are they useful - I
have not found them useful.

I just think that if Verant is gonna limit our songs to 50, and then not
really implement 50... that there shouldn't be that many lemons...
