Yosher:

yeah.
there is no music section or music at all on rtb, only some sounds
does this have a reason or is it just a huge coincidence?

Port:

music files are not add-ons

otto-san:

there's actually a quote from ephi somewhere explaining why

i think it was basically saying music is odd because it doesn't go in the ordinary add-ons folder and also that they took up a lot of space on the server

it used to have music though, back in RTB2 i think

* They function entirely differently to all other add-ons (they have to be downloaded to the Music folder instead of a zip file going to the Add-Ons folder) which means a lot of extra code changes to make it work.
* People wanted to upload multiple bits of music into one submission which meant a lot of db and interface changes to support.
* People tended to upload full tracks which exposed me to copyright and licensing issues which I don't want to deal with.
* People uploaded music for the sake of having submitted things which led to people just uploading albums of music at a very high bitrate which meant I was storing all this crappy music and nobody was downloading it.
All in all, music just isn't worth the effort for me.

Also, the one reason that he didn't include was all the loving Green Day songs some kid submitted.

Yosher:

Ah, thanks.
