Add another audio control that lets SL'ers listen locally to their MP3 collection or a URL stream.

What's wrong with simply running iTunes or another music player in the background?

From: Argent Stonecutter What's wrong with simply running iTunes or another music player in the background? I believe the problem is in finding the stream URL, which is (typically) not shown to the client anymore. In whichcase I'd say: bug the owner for the URL, then run it in iTunes, Winamp, or whatever.  But, the ability to "lock" a stream and go elsewhere would be nice. Might even make me use the feature again, since I wouldn't have to listen to the crappy stations so many malls run as I fly over.  And then, there are the people too lazy to Alt-Tab...

Agree and seconded/thirded/whatever'ed.
The ability to have your own soundtrack as you enjoy the world and, more importantly, have it OVERRIDE ANY LAND PARCEL'S MUSIC, would be a truly wonderous thing.
I'd be willing to pay $L directly to LL as a service fee for such a thing, provided it was no higher than $5L/week.
In the event LL is typical in responsiveness to new ideas, I would also be more than happy to buy or subscribe to any service or product offering that could accomplish the same result (e.g., wearable object that plays a particular music stream and would over-ride any incoming request to stream until/unless I have selected otherwise).

I would like to wear my radio as a HUD and switch personal stations whenever.

From: EmeraldEver Cline I would like to wear my radio as a HUD and switch personal stations whenever. On the Mac this could be done with a little effort by running iTunes in the background and using LSL + XML-RPC + (AppleScript or other language of choice ). I guess it could be done using similar methods on the PC. Don't ask me to do it though, I'm too busy atm  Just throwing the suggestion into the arena. |

Due to the extremely bad (IMO) streams being played by most venues I fly over, I turn off SL's streaming, and use WinAMP for my tunes.. I suspect a lot of other residents do this also.. Tas |

I guess it could be done using similar methods on the PC. I don't use iTunes on the PC, so I don't know if it's got an equivalent of Applescript there, but don't despair Windows users: you can get pretty close to a complete UNIX environment on Windows using microsoft's free Interix environment (bundled with Windows Services for UNIX). There are command line MP3 players for UNIX that may work under Interix, and then you can use the UNIX XML tools to talk to your objects in SL just as if you were on Linux or Mac OS X. |
