Music Box

The  is an item that can be used to record and play in-game music. To record music, equip the item and there is a chance that it will record whatever music is playing. To play music, equip the music box or place it and right click on it. Having two or more music boxes placed in your world may cause their sprites to become glitched, but they will still play music. They are sold by the Wizard NPC for 10 Gold Coins and can be controlled with Wires. The music box will record music even if you are stationary.

Bugs



 * Attempting to place a Music Box on a flat surface such as a Wooden Table or Workbench used cause it to duplicate itself many times if there is a wall behind it. This bug was exploited to obtain vast sums of money by selling duplicating Music Boxes, however since update 1.1.1, this is no longer true.
 * There is a glitch that causes music boxes to float in the air if the blocks it is standing on are removed.
 * After recording the Ocean theme placing the Music Box, then destroying it, will cause it to spawn a fully functioning Drax but will destroy the Music Box.
 * On the Xbox 360/PS3(unconfirmed) version the Ocean Music Box spawns a Cactus Sword when broken.


 * On the PC version, there is a bug, in which the note won't be fully lit, only in the "stick" of the note. It is unknown what causes this to happen. This bug also makes the music box rapidly clicked if holding down the right mouse button, with the cursor silently hanging over the music box
 * On the PC 1.2.2 version of Terraria, equipping a music box will instantly record the music currently being played.
