Any chances of non-newgrounds music for editor in future?

Being able to use our own music in the editor would be great. And if for some reason you wouldn't like custom music in the in-game public user levels, then just don't allow songs with custom music to be submitted publicly. We can share them outside the game if we have to.

If there was a non-newgrounds music editor, then people would be able to put in songs from the radio and stuff, which would cause copyright issues... I think.

That's the point of not allowing songs with custom music to be submitted publicly. It's basically the same thing as other rhythm games on Steam that allow you to play with your own music, yeah the person could be using music they downloaded illegally.

My favorite rhythm game is osu, and my love for the game is reliant on the limitless amount of music, since maps are created by the community and they can use whatever music they want. Every time I go back I find new music to enjoy. The problem I have with Geometry Dash is that I go through the user levels and find the same songs repeated dozens and dozens of times, while I'll enjoy the game for a while, it won't hold me without the freedom of custom music. It's this kind of feature that has kept me playing osu for over 3 years.

i wanted to use San Holo's Donkey Kong but i couldn't because no newgrounds download. non-newgrounds songs would be cool

they wouldn't. and even if they did if you tried to download it it would say 'This song is not allowed for use'

Soundcloud integration? I remember there was a game on Android (Neon rythmn or something like that) that allowed you to use your own mp3 in levels, and upload your levels online. HOWEVER, the song would not be uploaded. Any person with the same song on their music library (same artist, song name and song length) would be able to download the level. I thought that was a really neat strategy.

But why wouldnt they allow it? You can use newground music without the creators permission, but that the only thing they allow. What if i just upload pirated music to newgrounds, then use it?
Loophole found... yey?

Actually, Geometry Dash could have a built-in function to recognize copyrighted songs, and then just stop people from using them.

The way I think it, people would have less freedom to upload songs, but better protection for youtubers/streamers.
