What if you could link music to the Taverns?

I think it would be awesome if the tavern owner is allowed to link in music into his tavern.
Imagine the vibes resulting from that. It needs to be said, that for realizing this feature you obviously would need to take precautions. Like a safe source or restricted sites. How does it look with the DMCA? Is that even possible?
It is stated that you will have the possibilites to play music in taverns.

Anybody has more details to that statement?

However, do not have a problem with an Intrepid selection specifically made for the game to choose from.
But that's the thing ! The music will differ from Tavern to Tavern ! Just like IRL you are going the the tavern with the music you like, the company you like and the aesthatical aspect !
That what came to my mind as an alternate option.
"Music within taverns can be set by players" - You're most likely going to be able to pick X different songs in settings for the tavern to set a mood. But it will be branded AoC music. Not IRL music. Pretty much like the music boxes in ESO that you can place inside your home instance.
As the other replies have said, however, not everyone is going to enjoy your taste in music. Some will. Some won't.
I'm not interested in hearing your cousin's awful garage band MP3 you're streaming into the game.
All that being said, we know that tavern owners can set their own music. But it will be picked from the game soundtrack.
Remember, we don't even have the ability to name nodes ourselves, though the names can be chosen from a predetermined list. The ability to pick music is along those lines.
I don't want to help players figuring out how to run a tavern and why music is important.
That is great news. I've been (and remain) a casual follower of AoC, but I do intend to try this game upon release and I'd prefer to hear in-game appropriate music, not some real world offering that will basically squat all over the immersion of the game.
Controlled choice is definitely the best course.
No that was not the reason for creating this thread. I do like the music Ashes provides. And I would be fine with the options provided there. But I also like the idea of having a more felxible way of having a choice. That's why I reached out to the community to figure out wether there are more folks for it or against it.
I admit that this is a good argument against it.
I have a collection of DMCA Free music Intrepid can use and toss into the collection. I'd have no problem with Intrepid loading it if they wanted to include it in the tavern music selection.

What would be really interesting is if you could license our the music you create to other players for coin and create a musician class.
In any case it is forbidden to stream music in game if Intrepdid does not buy the rights.
Even if it's radio, you need the rights. And since there will be dozens of countries represented, there will be potentially multiple national law to be complied with.
And as has been well said by others, no one wants to listen to other people's crap music.
So I think it's not worth it!
So you are about to hit a dungeon, hit the tavern first - get your 1 hr food buff and music buff in the tavern before heading out.
obviously I added - cooks can cook in the tavern, and/or players can buy attribute foods but must eat it in the tavern to get the buff.
Be nice to see players sitting in tavern, eating, maybe chat bubble over their head, as a bard is playing music.
bard music is a 1 time thing in the tavern, with a cool down, to prevent 1 bard spamming. there is no proficiency for music playing like NW, so we can allow the next group with their bard to go in, play their music and leave.
My biggest concern is if Intrepid can deliver all the things they promise, because it's a lot of stuff and changing music in taverns I see as non essencial
Otherwise it will be just earblasts and racist music.
It's a great idea. Imagine having a LOTR inspired tavern with music from those movies!
I mean, you cant just rebroadcast other people's music.
Bars do it all the time and pay no royalties.
Since most people would probably do that, this system should just be optional, so people can choose to listen to the in-game music or irl music while in the tavern. Oh wait, that’s already an option. It’s called playing Spotify in the background for yourself and pretending it’s playing for everyone else if you want to.
There should be a set list of music produced by the same orchestrator who does the rest of the music for the game, and you can choose from those, if at all. If there’s an option to hire an NPC Bard, maybe they can allow you to play some extra tracks that lesser taverns cannot.
let the bodies hit the floor
So we're instead forced to listen the same 20 tunes for 10 years?
I don't wanna enter a tavern and it's playing Kanye West - Donda 2
I’m not explaining it worth a crap but what it does is you get a representation of the music but it ended up feeling as if it fit the game. Sometimes you gotta hear it a couple times before you even realize it’s a modern song. But there are no lyrics playing and there’s no modern instruments. Anyway if you want something a little bit of both it works well.

I missed this reply from 2 years ago - the ASCAP probably wants a word with you if this is what you think.
An idea would be able to have an upgrade for the tavern to create stage and musical band for the tavern, which the owner being able to set up a selection of music the musical band play from the Ashes of Creation soundtrack to play in the tavern.
SWTOR uses a similar idea. SWTOR players can select from the SWTOR music tracks to play from a jukebox while visiting a cantina.
Upnode Funk.
Paradise By The Caravan's Torch.
Verran Pie.
Friends In Underworld Places.
Py'rean Rhapsody.
Put A +2 Ring of Resistance On It.
Piano Manticore.
I Think I''ll Just Stay Here and Gank.
Who Let The Tulnar Out.
(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!) And Venture Forth.
You get the drift.

They'll be streaming that over Local Voice Chat.
