I've always felt there is a huge, untapped gold mine waiting in these games: the ability to upload your own songs and have them automatically converted to playable tracks in the game.
Of course, this relies on two things:
1. Automatic conversion actually being feasible.
2. Record labels allowing this to happen.
Somehow 1. seems more solvable than 2.

A bit like the difference between randomly generated dungeons in Nethack (or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon :) and a regular RPG.
- jdrock 17y agoNot underestimating at all. But it seems like it could be solved. Maybe a hybrid auto/manual tweaking approach is the answer? Or perhaps users could requests songs be converted by the creative team and/or pay for individual tracks? I'm not interested in buying song-packs, but I'd pay $1 for any given song.
