When flying over different plots of land the effect of different streaming music is like quickly surfing from station to station on a car radio. I would like to see the option of a delay that would prevent the URL stream from starting for 5 seconds or so after u arrived on a properity. This should reduce the channel surfing effect.

Yeah, or even some smooth crossfading so the musics blend into each other instead of some herky-jerky start-n-stop!  |

Or don't even bother to load a new stream if your velocity is too high. Wait until the avatar slows down or stops to fetch and stream the URL.

I would like to see a delay proportional to velocity.
Something like (m/s) / 8

I kinda like that effect, because sometimes I may hear a song I haven't heard in a while, then stay and listen. However, I think a good middle-ground would be to force the <STOP/PLAY> button to retain it's setting despite crossing land boundaries. I find it annoying to STOP a stream for whatever reason, then reposition myself at a better building angle only to have the stream restart because I crossed a land boundary. If I <STOP> the stream, I want it to stay stopped until I'm ready to <PLAY> it again.... regardless of how many land boundaries I cross in the meantime. |

Try it at 100 knots, it's like having a speed addict twiddling the knobs
