Title: bbcode audio embed or something
Post by: ursus on February 17, 2014, 09:49:47 PM
so you know how putting a youtube video in [url] tags embeds the video

can we get a thing like that for audio files

it would be cool

someones probably made it already

Would this have some widespread use on the forum? embedding web mp3s? versus music threads using youtube which seems convenient

to be honest i'm not even sure

the only thing it would solve that I know of would be music threads reaching the video embed limit, i don't know for sure but it makes sense that a small vlc/quicktime player would use up less memory when embedded than a youtube player

right, but is there a lot of mp3s available on the web people would use that wouldn't render blatant copyright infringement by streaming them? o-o

isn't that only when it's hosted on the site? if questioned about it as far as i know you could take the whole "we prove links to content, not content" defense used by the pirate bay

afaik US jurisdiction now allows broad reading of providing access to the material which includes links to material and would depend on what court/judge handled the case
