The other thread got overloaded with spam and this post would probably get lost, so i thought i would clear it up here. 1. Server Strain. it will have to download the music, and then re upload it to every player who loads the map, creating unnecessary server load 2. Licensing. If a big company comes along and sees Atwar maps using their copyrighted content, they have the right, because AtWar is effectively distributing the music, and seeing as it is a feature of the game, and making people more likely to buy premium features etc, they are profiting from this. Long story short, 99% of the music you listen to will not be able to be used, only music files that are free public domain or Creative commons with the correct terms. unless you get explicit permission from the record label or creator of the song. so to much hassle An alternative Embeddable youtube playlists, with you can set up. much like atwars radio, to play along with the scenario. this relieves atwar of any licensing issues because they are not actually hosting anything, just directing to where it is found, and they can take it up with the uploader if they wish. will also reduce server strain.

That is basically what I was suggesting. Can you edit the title and add "+ a solution" so that the admins don't skip over it?

Ohey, thanks for totally not crediting me with coming up with that idea first, that everyone in the last thread agreed was a great option that would have no copyright problems, as it's streamed from Youtube, and that it would cause little server strain.
