I know music to a game is a mere bell and whistle. But what I have noticed is music is one of the key factors that bring people back to the game. I dont know why, but music helps distinguish a game from others, and makes me remember the game much more thouroghly

Most video games out there have music. Yet there are times and periods when they don't, its when usally they are unusally calm (and creepy). Roblox can be calm most of the time, building and whatnot, and the sound effects partially make up for the lack of sound. but there are some parts of a game that at some times need to be emphasised with music.

heres an example: Citykid's armored ship battle 5 has uses one of roblox's music tracks to give you the feel that you are a secret agent to sabotauge the other team. I can not explain it, but it gives you really a feel of awesomeness.
And Crazyblox's Version of mario kart. sadly it was stolen and hacked several times, but they used music just like any other mario kart game, they had a simple theme which played throughout and speed up on the final lap.

Roblox currently doesn't have that many tracks to themselves, and thats what I am concerned about. Robloxians have tried to make music out of the many sound effects roblox has provided, but even if it has worked, some of them have been broken out of updates.

sound effects is not my concern, since there are so many as well they can get annoying after time. But they do help and I have got to say roblox has provided a lot, saying I haven't even heard of them throughout games.

I know we cannot upload our own music, since that would violate copyright issues and would overflow the mods with lots of extra work. Roblox just needs to somehow get more approved songs to open up new possiblities for roblox

There could be copyright issues. It's a lot easier to just pull up another page and listen to it yourself on YouTube. ROBLOX can't settle everyone's needs for music, we'd need more moderators for the music, and people could complain that the music is annoying and blame the music for lag.

Point is, there's no need to add music when we have YouTube.

@summer, I see your point,
but when playing a like regular video game, lets say super smash bros brawl, do you go and get your mp3 out?
I wouldn't think, because it already has sufficient music.


but what I really want to say is you can not script youtube into roblox. You cannot make music change INSTANTLY depending on what you do in the game.
Like pokemon. would you every time you go into a different town play a different song to your route?
usally not.
people can script music into areas you enter and what actions you do.

@Summer:

How can there be copyright issues if roblox themself pick the tracks?
They aren't stupid.
They know where to look.

Anyway, like I've stated:
If the roblox staff truly want music, they would have put it in now.
They would have scavenged many sites for music,
Or hired someone to make music for them.

I see what you mean.
I like the idea, especially for those survival games.

e.g
When a hurricane is approaching, it'll play that fast dramatic music.

I thought you just meant normal songs, but now I know what you mean.

If there's a way to overcome copyright, then support.

@summer the point also is not for the mods to approve everyone's music to upload. The whole point was them to approve more PRESET songs rather than us being stuck with carmiseliden, the entertainer, and mario.
(I know there is more music than that but those are some of the basics)

@Frozengaia

I know, I thought he meant hit songs.
If it's just like that, then nevermind.

"Anyway, like I've stated:

I guess they didn't find any need for it.
Just because it's not here, doesn't mean it's still not a good idea.

I never said it wasn't a good idea.
Because I always have supported music on roblox.
It's just that nearly every single time some one brings it up, they make a flaw in thier system that leads to copyright (bringing it back), moderation apocalypse (music suggestion) or outright idiocy (a music maker. .-.)

Well, I'll just leave a support here.

yay thanks for the support :D

and ps I am not talking about hit songs.
I dont like the hit songs.
Just something for us robloxians to play to.and all those hit songs have understandable lyrics which take the point out of it being backround music. lyrical songs just distract you rather than invigorate you

I have got to say, maybe roblox hasn't been adding more music because all the musid started coming in when roblox was kind of small. now that it is this big, maybe they should expand again on this idea

@Random

14th is my Birthday

I'll be getting Native Instruments FM8 and LennarDigital Sylenth1 then.

I currently own Native Instruments Absynth & Massive.

For roblox style music I would need Sylenth.
