I've seen it done on things like tumblr and i really like it,

I'm not sure how you could do this as i'm not a coder or anything, but i think it'd be nice to have the option to have my own music playlist played on the site.. when i come on it plays my music from the start.. from where i left off.. or any random song on it, i think that would be nice. I'm also not sure if anyone has already suggested this.

You don't have to use this, you can simply disable it or just ignore it.. but if you're like me and you like to listen to your beats while doing pretty much anything, then i think listening to your own personal music playlist play whilst havin a geez on forumkorner, then this is definitely a great idea in my mind! Also i think it is a decently unique feature for a site to have.

Do you mean like a music player at the bottom of the page?

Essentially, yes. This is most commonly where i see the music player at, but it could be anywhere or really look like anything, just as long as it plays my music when i'm browsing the forum then that's be fine. It'd be pretty sweet if i could like customize it too, but that might be asking too much.

This would be cool to see. But probably very tedious & hard to implement into the site. Since the option of suggesting a "forum chat" is not allowed, I'm assuming neither will this. But nice suggestion, regardless. I would never leave this forum if there was a music player on here. 0.o

You should add a Poll with "Yes" and "No" as the two options. You get enough positive votes, you never know...it could happen.

It wouldn't be hard to implement at all, it's very quite possible. There's tons of sites that have created things just for this purpose.
The most someone would have to do is probably paste a few lines of code here and there, maybe upload a few files.

OT: I'm also all for it, mainly because I'm listening to music almost 24/7.

Why reinvent the wheel ? If you have streaming services like 8tracks, Grooveshark, LastFM, why not use them ?

And if you're like me who use none of these, then this could be a simple secondary. Also, using grooveshark and such, use a lot of mobile data and can cost a bit to stream music from them.

And from where will this music on forum play ? It requires resources (UI in this case IF only a embed player is added). Regardless if it's self-hosted or found on external server it must retrive data (and again in the end it functions similar to sites mentioned before [minus hosted music files, but again they have to be retrieved from somewhere).

Correct, however you won't need 2 tabs open to listen to what you want to listen to, and you can always disable the music if you want.. i really don't see why people would say no to this idea, it's so selfish in my opinion, you're saying no to something others want just because you don't want it, but could easily with one click disable it and not have to worry about it, whilst others can enjoy the new feature.

It can be also put this way: just because you want something does not mean that someone else does. It's called different opinion, and it's not selfish to express it.

What's next - user blogs, galleries, video sharing service, social groups ? Reminds me of pre FB MySpace. As previously stated - music streaming services are there for oblivious reason. If there are fears for end-user bandwith issue just download your songs and play them via media player / browser widget.

True, I didn't mean to make it sound like that, But, I would agree with you except for the fact that if you don't want it, simple, disable it. But for those that do want it, here's a new feature, i can't see this affecting the overall forum much, I can see what you mean if i was suggesting either a) everyone must have or b) everyone can't have.

This has got to be one of the worst suggestions created on this forum. Open a damn tab, and play some music from there.

Nice avatar pic, twelvie. I think you'll find that this isn't that bad of a suggestion. If i open another tab to like youtube, i don't want to be coming back to replay my rap every fucking 4 minutes, i want it to be continuous while on FK.

Are you really that fucking lazy? Have you ever heard of a playlist on YouTube that automatically goes to the next video on your playlist when that video is done?

Incorrect, i'm not that lazy, I've never bothered to try because i don't use a youtube account so i don't know if i need one for that, and i just don't want to.

1. More than half of the people think this is a bad idea. I'm not the only one who thinks this is fucking retarded.

2. Thank you. I enjoy my avatar. I'm 20 if you really want to insult someone's age.

3. http://www.yourepeat.com/ ; http://www.slacker.com/ ; Convert your YouTube videos to MP3 http://www.youtube-mp3.org/

4. Problem solved. This idea is a waste of space on FK.

1. Yesterday more than half the people thought it was a good idea.

2. Just looking at those links makes me think that's too much work, much more work than having your own fucking playlist on FK.

3. Your step 4 shouldn't have been a step 4. You're a waste of space on FK.

1. Now look at it. Apparently your idea has hit rock bottom. It's shit.

2. It's not even that hard. A damn monkey could do it.

3. Calling me a waste of space, haha. Does anyone on this site even like you?
