The Mana World Forums

Hello.
An idea came to me while I was playing:

It would be great to have a NPC in the game that you could talk to, to change the music to a streamed playlist on e.g. http://www.jamendo.com/.
Maybe some hand picked Creative Commons songs that sounds like Folk-song or Mediaeval..
I think that would be a great complement to the standard BGM.

With Open Source and Creative Commons this is all possible, in contrast to a proprietary game which would not be able to use a "Non commercial" license.

What do you think? Too much strain on the bandwidth?

If anyone plans on implementing this, it'd be more than polite to ask the representatives of Jamendo beforehand.

It could be also good to have a little script that could choose the alternative music from your own computer, to reduce the used bandwidth of any service used.
