i genuinely hope the go back on the idea since its going to probably make 20 - 30% of developers on roblox lose their projects and (maybe) leave the platform

Or the dreaded you donât own this audio itâs in a group you own so we canât help you good luck
At least we tried to prevent it. It was an honor serving with you. On March 22nd The majority of Roblox games will die.

They did realize that boomboxes will be broken, and they gave possibly one of the worst solutions I have ever seen.
It baffles me that roblox thinks their players would rather listen to copyright free music from a list rather than their favorite songs. I donât think ANYONE has ever inputted a copyright free APM song into their boombox and went âWow, this is a bop. I want to listen to this all the time!â

Depends. If you make quality audio you have chances to stay clear. And also next time donât insult me in Discord.

What are you talking about, ok this conversation is over.
Yes this is over because talking about the past will not make the future grow. But you know what iâm talking about.

Some royalty free music can be pretty catchy, such as songs by Kevin MacLeod. But yeah, nobody wants to dance to low quality rock music.
I really like the idea of this feature request though, letting users play audio they bought on boomboxes. But again, it would be difficult to license, especially since Roblox already has a bad relationship with music industries.

I mean royalty free music from Kevin MacLeod is good. But if itâs from APM music or Monstercat then itâs no. Because what if Monstercat was not licensed for Youtubers that would be hard though. And you know, I donât want to use any licensed music which is made by Roblox at all.
This feature needs to be SCRAPPED right now. Otherwise many small developers are going to quit developing their games.

Not really sure how I get 2000 uploads per 30 days, Iâm not ID verified nor do I have premium. (Iâve also never uploaded an audio before this.)
Iâm unsure whether or not this issue is related to this update but Iâve been uploading audios throughout the day and all except one audio has been stuck on pending for hours (one has even been pending since yesterday)
This issue is happening to my friends as well and itâs pretty important to us that these audios are passed through moderation by the end of tomorrow as theyâre for our submission for the dream jam

You can thank Roblox for making audios free. Now, the moderation queue takes hours. Yesterday my group uploaded around 100 SFX, and still not all of them have been approved.
What does APM mean by the way?
What really weird is my music gets accepted instantly but if I upload to the group it takes about 2 days.
Consider the effects it has on others, like solo developers who donât create music and everything thatâs provided has no musical motifs that fit their creations.

That is strange, because I uploaded 3 at the same time like yesterday and they got approved in less than a minute.
Maybe upload less at a time or something.
Honestly, if these new audios wonât only be music but also sound effects like nature sounds, sword sounds, zombie sounds etc. then this update wonât be so bad after all.
They will be generic, repeative, reuploaded with little changes and low quality, so no, this isnât saving it either.

A valid idea I got to solve some problems with the âOnly creators can use private Audiosâ, is that people who own the Audio can use it too, this would still allow Roblox to make Audios Private, but atleast we can still use the Audios we collected, right? Now another, please for sanityâs sake make Owners of Groups able to use the Audio in their account to the group and visa versa Groupâs audios to the uploader of the Audios too.
Like if you agree.

An important note, people canât play inappropriate bypassed Audios in other games with boomboxes and such if the game owners donât own it.
