Well, we can look at this in multiple ways. If, as soon as you go to the users' profile, the music automatically loads, it can be a bad thing; however, if it doesn't load until you actually click on the starter button, it's not so bad. This idea isn't necessarily beneficial to the site, but it would be somewhat nice to have. But then again, users might post horrible songs that are inappropriate to AG. The only way for mods to delete this themselves is to ask the users to delete it, or else they will ban them; this is also why we cannot have our own armatars as well.
Well, you're right about the cliche part, but I don't know about it crowding the users' profiles. Look at the music inputs in Myspace or something, it's not that big at all. It's better than a giant Wall-o'-Text that takes 20 seconds to reach the comments page, that's for sure.
It's not a bad idea at all, but the only thing that we have to worry about is if users would post inappropriate music. I would be furious if I was a user who didn't know what the song Cold_Pizza was, then when I clicked on it, I would hear horrible swearing with speed core techno in the background. Gives another reason for moderators to patrol through users' profiles, eh?
I think it would be kind of cool, but a lot like myspace, and this is a gaming site, not a social and chatting site. Also, it could cause site lag. Cool idea, but not beneficial to the site.
i didnt see it anywhere, juan. anyway, i do use playlist.com, but i think it would be cool to have. i mean, we could test it for a while, and if the users dont like it well take it down. gotta give anything a try, right? i guess it would be a featuer that makes ou have to press play for it to start, not for something to start right away.
Well I used to disagree with this idea, but I was thinking about it and what if the music player had a flag option. That would alert mods that the song is inappropriate. Also, what if we had a feature where we could turn music players off. We could control it our control panel. Plus I don't think it will too annoying listening to everyone's songs, all you have to do is turn music players off, press stop on the music player, or just turn your speakers off.
Open up a tab and go to a music website, that should settle the problem. Also, if you listen to something that other people wouldn't want to hear, it wouldn't affect them. Also, with profile music for EVERY profile, that would definitely lag the site.
I agree with firetail that it will lag the site, but don't think that would be an awesome addition to AG. I mean we could play games, roam the forums, and listen to music. I think it would be cool, but we really don't need it.
I think it would be kind of cool, but a lot like myspace, and this is a gaming site, not a social and chatting site. Also, it could cause site lag. Cool idea, but not beneficial to the site.
I agree with that 100% because it is just a gaming sight. It also would be cool but it would never work
