Hey look, another features and ideas discussion in GD. If only CCP thought ahead and made say a sub-forum for this kinda stuff 
Anywat, shoutcast? Pretty much for the price of a Plex you can run it all month from a virtual server rental. Don't even need to waste a stack of Plex. Unless you want to contract them over to me, up to you.

Royalties? I'd just play my own music, I don't need to pay myself. Then there are tons of royalty-free music, almost as good as mine 
You just put the link in your bio, thus eveyone in the solar system can have access to it. You could even go podcast, I know some here that do that. If CCP would be willing to do anything with music in which people would use, they need to add a customizable jukebox. Was the best feature in EVE, the old one. |

I think when people say that, theh have little to no music to listen to, seldom do. In the old system I could easily pick and choose what I wanted to listen to on the fly w/o screwing with alt tabbing etc. For years I kept the player on my screen all the time, quick easy access and made EVE a much better game for it. This feature has also been in other classic mmo's, and I took full advantage of it as a music lover. Was one of the best features of EVE. Now I just turn the sound off. |

Yeah, same, I go with 'redundant' since you cant control track sekection. There would be no dif between having it in-game or running the stream from another app but just playing on the same computer. You just srart it and forget about it. The only game I can rhink of that does that is second life (not meant as a scorn). And knowing how that works, the liability excuse is actually bogus. But apart from that comment, it's still just a bit redundant. |

I don't know how SL does it, but if the company is providing the service and charging for it, it creates a legal issue. Since they are directly charging and profiting from it. If it is a player made "mod" which allows players to do in game streaming among others who have the mod, then the company isn't directly profiting from it nor are they providing it.
Yeah, thats the part where he is over complicating it. CCP doesnt need to actually run any "service" to make something like that work. It's just a matter of having permission to broadcast your stream.
When people suggest things like this, they add in the 'paid service' part thinking it would become a good idea due to playing on the greed of CCP. Makes CCP extra moneys, so must be good, no? But just more spin on fail. |

Hah! Reading on my tablet, totally missed that part in the OP about being forced to listen unless you attacked it. Now thats just lol. No dev in their right mind would do that. Even the brief example I mentioned you could just dissable the stream. Forcing people to listen to it... yep it's up there among top bad suggestions ever assaulted against GD. |

Tooltips? Meh annoying but not driving me to put one in my brainpan. I mostly hotkey most everything anyway. But forced to listen to certain types of music has been used to break people for brainwashing through the torture. |
