Downloading songs in game?

[NinPho]

Is it possible to download a song from another user to play that song? I don't download music to my laptop since I use Spotify/ youtube for all of it. So could I just click on a list of songs auto download and play?

For those who are familiar Osu! has a similar feature but the songs are kept on your HDD I just want it kept for 5 minutes and it goes away until I play it again. Keeps my HDD clean and less packed of crap accumilating.

If this is a feature I will greatly be more interested in buying this game.

It doesen't have it due to a thing called "Piracy" OSU! is not run for profit which changes the rules a bit. As it stands I doubt this would ever be an option, though to play off of an online source is something that has been discussed.

The piracy thing would be null and void due to the temp download... It was stated it could happen on a Spotify intergration but that was the only way... Unless he/ or she was mistaken and misinformed a bunch of people but I dunno just trying to get a reason to buy this game when I can just play Audiosurf 1 with the same features

That's not quite how copyright laws works, doing more or less anything with a copyrighted work that is not explcitly allowed by the copyright owner is technically against the law*, so temporary or not, if you don't have explicit permission from a copyright holder to upload/download a song, then you are breaking the law, period.

It's not a logical law neccesarily but that's just how it is currently.

*1. There are some exceptions to this claim primairly in cases where use of the copyrighted works fall under fair use, but fair use is a lot more limited and hard to prove than a lot of people online tend to think, and uploading and downloading a full song, even temporarily certainly does not qualify as fair use.

Alright then someone misiformed me on the community hub... Owell I thought it might be difficult but that would make this game a must have for me, without it... Just no point for me since I don't like to download music

It does work with Soundcloud which has tons of free music, but that's the only source it currently downloads music from. It will later have Audiosurf Radio (featured songs each week), and possibly other sources.
