Audio / Soundtrack / Mp3 Player, Showcase in your Profile

[FeuFeu]

Would it be not nice if the bought soundtracks of your favourite could be played on your profile?

We are living in age where datalimit is not a thing anymore, and to be honest 128 kbit/s is not much or?

And steam got already all things. Personally i would only allow to play one song in loop maxium of 3 with higher upgraded one.

I also could see skins for these mp3 players. And it would be also nice if you could set them at top or footer or just in middle where all showcases are.

To prevent ear rape, steam should automatic mute or atleast set songs to 30% volume something like that.

Thats why we cant have nice things. Your personal struggles can be resolved with prefence settings.

We can't have nice things on here because people abuse it thats why.

And yes i know whats myspace is, but we are talking here about music which is already on steam to buy and not some custom uplouded mp3 file.

The point is there will be market if they really wanted, and even if i get music from indie devolper who still do their music on their own. (And i guess in future they would get license too.)

Steam does not need pay anything, or atleast to maintence it on long run, i could imagne if some high tier person would ask spotify if they would programm a player which could be implented into html, for steam, they would (which you already can on spotify website itself).

And i would not wonder if steam already got the rights on music to broadcast them in first place, to not get sued.

There is already a market for it, its called buying the DLC music and listening to it on your own. If people want to listen to music while to go to someones profile then start up your music player and listen to music while you are on someones profile.

No Valve does not have the rights to broadcast the music already. They don't own all the games on Steam, they only sell them. Not even all the developers/IP owners of the games own the rights to broadcast the music like you want because they license the music for use in their game.

Yes Valve would have to pay something to integrate Spotify into steam profiles, because thats what Spotify would want, is money for them doing that.

Even if they didn't, people would then start demanding every other music streaming service to be embedded into the steam profile and there are lots of them. "But they can say no to them" they can but if you allow spotify you will need to allow everything else because there will be an unending spam of people wanting their one.

If you want people to listen to what ever music you pick, put a link to your spotify stuff in the top part of your profile.

This like saying, if you want see the steam background, just put a link into your description. It should be a automatic feature and not a burden

Except that Steam backgrounds exist and is a part of Steam, spotify is not. Since we don't have music players for profiles, your response of warping what the other said is beyond dishonest.

Its nice that evryone wants it, but instead of suggestion good ideas how resolve it, they act like all money maker of steam and looking at their cost, that this will never happen, or are you all paid by steam? lol

People that dont have 'liked' suggestions always go to this nonsense. We're not the one trying to 'sell' the idea, if you have an idea trying to 'sell' it is on you only. We're not here to tell people how to get something improved or implemented, and we're more than aware of the low-to-zero chance something has of being implemented and why.

As per usual, people also go to "you must be steam" or "you must be paid". No. Your idea is just awful and people realize it. Instead of trying to go 'on the attack', perhaps think things over rather than think wrapping something awful in gold foil makes the whole thing golden.

Your view of point is crossing what other peoples says here, this feature was requestes multiple times, and it will still be requested multiple times.

It like the Steam Pointshop, nobody knowed they wanted it, until they had it and cant live without it anymore.

Thanks for the conversation and bumping this post with entry's up!

One every so many months doesn't line up with 25+ million users doesn't make it a good idea even if it was requested often.

Cosmetics that go with profiles, chat and emotes for chat/forums isn't music.
People also can't know they want something if it doesn't exist and suddenly does, of which they can at the moment of it existing choose if they like it or not, but I doubt they "cant live without it anymore", only people addicted to emotes/backgrounds etc will want to keep using it

It's not much of a conversation when you have to warp words, use bad comparisons and use dishonesty to attempt to push the idea.

And thus the suggestion ...
Why do people alway feel like pointing out the status quo and behaving like it's immutable?

Currently Steam forces me load and see a profile picture which I might not like to see. Personally I can do very well without it.
The suggestion is to implement a sound player. Don't get hang up on Spotify specifically. All it takes it Steam implementing a player showcase and content creators to make music available for it. For example through the points shop.
There are no legal issues or technical issues involved.

Now, do I personally want this? No. Do I mind as long as it isnt autoplay and especially doesn't blast me full volume? No.
There is already lots of other stuff that I can do perfectly fine on a profile page. Like ... the profile page in general.

Considering the very first reply already mentioned that it was "asked many times before" that statement is quite obviously untrue.
And the people arguing against it, are a tiny amount of users even using these forums some of which are pretty much against every change, no matter what it is.

The simple truth is: some people will like it and use it, some people will hate it. Most people will be utterly indifferent as long as it is implemented sensibly. And even more won't even notice because they barely visit profile pages anyway.

Add another reason to never open someone else's profile.

I can get behind this, thats steam should just be for "games" and chat. But companys expands, and is there still really a place for users who can customize their profile? Many users use steam to get in each game to 100%, for just showing their achievments. So whats wrong about a idea.

Sure it seems impossible, but i just see a money factor, and third parties like spotify may pay this price to expand their reach on steam.

I like the evoloving of the steam client so far and their game devolpers, it like windows and all hardware devolper provide their drivers for it for free. (In the very beginning, now its normal thinking)

I also could start new theard for mor colors and better ways use of background on bigger screens.

Welcome to the internet, instead of resolving we are discussing why not. There are plenty of ways to turn these features off. Thats normal application devolping, most profiles are private anyway, and i love to see a profile with all those efforts and artworks

So i am turning this off now since to many trolls.

Resolution implies a problem exists.
Again, we do not have to improve someone elses idea, market/sell the idea that someone else came up with. If we were to suggest a much better way to make it valuable, we would most likely make our own suggestion thread.

Being able to toggle something / default:OFF, is not a good reason to implement something, just like this is a poor excuse to do the suggestion:

Because companies don't have to expand into things they don't want to do, or because a user wants something they do not do.

"Everyone that disagrees with me is a troll or is paid" is not exactly a strong stance for a suggestion.

Steam is niche. Video gaming might be on it's way to mainstream, but mostly by thanks to consoles and - more importantly - mobile.
Spotify has a user base of 400+ million with 180 million subscribers in 2021 according to them.
Steam has a user base of 120 million monthly active users. (Which includes bots and secondary accounts, I assume.)

And with Steam being an online-centric platform, the overlap is most likely already quite enormous.
Seriously, Steam's user base is quite laughable outside of gaming.

Nah, you could still turn it off and click then on player inside a showcase box. So it would catch your eye like ad. I am not saying i disagrees with you but it makes no sense do discuss why we should discuss.

Steam is already implenting features which are "fun" to compete with other clients from other companys.

It's nice that this feature was already reqguestet, but that does not mean it should stay with just single post. Multiple post acquires attention.

Got point there, but where is way to get money there is a will. Spotify is getting more and more laugable app if you ask me, the suggested songs getting worse each month, and to be honest youtube got more inresting "young" music makers. Would youtube premium/music not be so thrash, spotify would get scarred.

(And putting one-two devolper, for just ammount of players is still profitable)
