Why does the viewer not have song identification yet???

[Sommerland Starostin]

I love music & SL is a big part music for me & I'm sure many others. So many viewers have it. Don't understand why its not on SL viewer yet. For that reason, seems a bit archaic.

Music identicifation. Like This (Tunatic) ?

Seems common on phones. So which other viewers have it?

 Your pc could easily do that separately. I guess it would be ok but don't really see why LL needs to add more stuff into an SL viewer.

Phoenix Viewer has this option and it is very cool!Cause I always hear nice songs at SL and hardly find them later.

But most of the time I play with Viewer 2 cause I think Phoenix is so complicated for me.

So would be really nice If Viewer 2 would get this option too.:-)

That thought never crossed my mind. I personally would have no use for it. If I am at a music venue or a club, the songs are always identified. If I am shopping and there is music playing in the background? Well, I suppose they could install song identification in the super markets and elevators as well then. I usually have my own music on any way. Good observation though.

Because SLV2 as not built by SL users.

get Phoenix, SLV2 sucks.

Oh I see this has been addressed before, thanks Void. Well I have gotten into a lot more different types of music since I've had song ID, including german goth rock & even some African singers. Seems like 3rd party viewers just slipped it in w/o any trouble. I guess big corps have to have many meetings first lol.

it's actually a rather nice feature, now that i've had a chance to try it out on phoenix (I don't do a lot of land stream listening). although not all stream are going to tag music accurately (or even at all) I would think that if someone put in a feature request, it shouldn't be too hard to implement (it just requires a little feedback from the media plugin)

although there may also be a small security risk with certain tagging formats, as has been exposed in the past on quicktime and other plugins/players, so that may have halted development.

the lastest version of Phoenix asks if you want to use a parcels media by default, it also has a black and white list.

there will always be a security risk with media in SL unless LL introduce a proxy,

fat chance of that happening.

ps MOAP is even more unsecure, only use your own MOAP!

What is MOAP?

It is really called "Shared Media" now, but MOAP as an abbreviation for "media on a prim" persists to make sure that people are confused.

 

[Void Singer]

to add to that, "Media On A Prim " was the original name of the feature, and is still called that in most of the technical settings. it's descriptive of what it is.... "Shared Media" is the ::cough::friendly::cough:: name marketing dreamed up that really doesn't tell you what it is or how it works.

both as acronyms are rather unfortunate, since an object can either be MOAP-y or have SM on it =D
