Hello videogame music freaks! :-)
I'm planning to start a small website that streams videogame music and some other stuff,
like a big list of consoles and games for them that you can click and then just listen to the soundtracks from that game.
No big plans for it or something.. just a small project that maybe will start something. :-)
But I have a few issues I'm encountering;
First and foremost: The storage.
I have like 30gigs on my dropbox account but I don't know how much bandwidth dropbox gives to free users.
Also 30gb will be enough for quite some time but what if I'd want to expand..?
I'm willing to pay a small amount of money for hosting services but I'm still not sure what filehosting to use.
It should have hotlinking so I can directly make playlists with mp3 files.
and secondly: the content management.
I'm looking for some script or a way to make the uploading of the music easy.
Like, just upload the music to a cloud folder and then directly assign the XHTML playlist to it or something like that.
I already made a concept of what kind of thing it should be: Rageplay's VGM (http://www.rageplay.org)
So there you have: a simple list on the left where you can choose your game.
The music player in the middle (which shouldn't have to much rings and bells, just a simple mp3 player).
and on the left a small chatbox for communication and requests from visitors.
Only a sample song from Kubbi is on there sincs it's just a concept.
~So to wrap it up~
A vgm stream website wherefor I need:
-A good file host with support for streaming (hotlinking) mp3 files.
-Some kind of content management system for playlists or a way to make uploading easy.
There's stuff like this out there and I know that so I don't expect to get big or anything,
maybe It'll turn out to make a small community :-)
