PlayStation®Home General Discussion

[Spidie_Pig_Rules]

Ok so since the removal of public voice chat we have always asked about some other form of ingame music for home what im about to post is hopefully a solution or something can be took from it and worked upon so bare with me guys

So say you load up home and go to you pad and invite yur friends around and you all wanna listen to some music and maybe get a party started or if you plan to do this then well heres a option

VIDZONE - since the music is SONY BMG owned and home is a SONY product then the copyright laws wont matter as vidzone is a free service and is pretty much just widely publicsiing music like public voce chat would do

so here the logistics  you load up vidzone

now with that done you go to your correspinding song i.e the ones you wanna Ska the night away too

once you know what you want you select them and add them to a playstation home playlist(shown Below) and a small home icon will appear next to track to confirm you have added it to the Playstation home playlist

 

Now that you have successfully selected a list yu then log back into home and when you are in the area or apartment that you wish to play the music in you open up your PDA and select the Vidzone playlist area  and select which track you wanna listen to

Note: the home icon have been added just as areference incase  your own HDD music was able to be played to distinguish via vidzone and HDD

but as you see you have the options to play more could be added i.e play to friends play to the surrouding area etc etc

so with that this little concet comes to an end feel free to dicsuss and as ever i welcome all feedback good or bad

Or just have music playable from the XMB.

Vidzone will inevitably be evolving.  Into something like iTunes, probably downloadable tracks, HD versions of videos (both at a price). Maybe the inclusion in Home at one point would be good.

I don't see why Vidzone can't publicly play a few set playlists on a Home video screen.  Singstar manages to bias a few artist videos in their space.  I doubt rotating videos on a large screen somewhere in Home wouldn't do any damage.  (Unless theirs a tiny law which means music can't be played in virtual worlds past 10pm)

yhup that too mil but SCEE seem to back down to the copyright excuse when it comes to XMB but if burnout can do it why not home but with more people to hear it and if they use the excuse again then the Vidzone option is something that will work for them whether they get off their back sides and do it is another thing

[milnerant]

If people can play music down their headsets, why don't they remove those from sale to restrict that?

its a huge fail with the voice chat they say 64 was broadcasting right infringement what difference is 64 from 12 or in the case of MAG 256 i think theres something missing we aint been told tbh

Few things that i posted few days ago in a thread with a idea very much like this one but without images.

1) Just because its Sony owned don't give them a right to use it anywhere, Most artists have a controlling say in where there work can and can not be used, They also most the time get a % of any income.

2) Again a video being on vidzone does not mean Sony can just up and use it for home, new deals and contracts would have to be done and signed with the people that control the rights to the music/videos.

So to sum up, why the idea most would like, it does not over come any of the problems Sony face when getting music in to Home. As Mil says if people want to listen to music that only they can hear just adding XML in-game music support is all that is needed.

But i like to think we can share music with others but that as many things it as to over come, mostly finding a way around broadcasting laws without breaking the bank.

It's a shame the Dizzee Rascal concert video wasn't around for long. It's a great example of how music in Home currently works... Exclusively.

Nice idea Spidey Pig...

As Carla said, there would be new contracts to thrash out betrween parties with a vested interest but I guess it would be possible.  However, Vidzone runs on advertising, so there would have to be a way of encorporating that into the 'Home version'...

I'm hoping that the powers that be are having a mooch over all the current ideas and chewing on the issues behind the scenes.  If we can inspire, then maybe we'll see a hybrid solution - a little of this notion, a bit of that one...

That's a brilliant idea! Also, if I remember correctly Sony once said VidZone would be accessible and playable across all games, but they never gave that promise.

I think the way they could make it happen would be by making a VidZone space where you receive a VidZone media player as a gift and it would go into your inventory (like the camera).

BTW, nice choice of music in your example. Basshunter FTW!!!!!!!
