[Action Needed] Upcoming Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

Yep! Me too! I’m basically going on strike. I’ve just stopped development and merch design and users no longer have the option to buy my shirts

You didn’t pay for the right to play copyrighted songs. Type in your favorite Roblox procured song codes and enjoy.

Rq though, I haven’t seen ANYONE on the Roblox platform go “WOW! OMG THIS IS THE BEST MUSIC EVER!” to a monstercat song.

Well that is part of the reason we are in this situation we’re in now with law suits and new audio rules and limitations.

Maybe the new privacy controls will allow Roblox to make deals with major labels to have songs on the platform. Maybe you’ll be able to buy your favorite song like you buy a hat or shirt and then be able to play it in your boombox.

Imagine all the audios you have to replace

I used the audio plugin and it showed me, I replaced 18.

I personally like Monstercat stuff…

This is what many games will look like after the update on Tuesday, since due to the amount of replies I don’t believe a lot of developers are willing to handle it.

Still annoyed about this update but I’m even more pissed when I found out that all the money I spent for Audio gamepasses and to upload audio is not gone. We ALL better get a full refund

Hmm, that actually wouldn’t be a bad idea to implement on the Roblox platform. Roblox charges robux, DevExes it, then gives the producers part of the money earned?

I actually just so happened to make my own version as well

Its been a WEEK and Roblox still hasn’t responded which I find outrageous.

I would take paid audio over this change ANY day.

Why won’t Roblox listen to our feedback?? They should at least acknowledge the fact that everyone hates this.

Smh. What would make a 13+ roblox game on the platform? I don’t understand Roblox’s reasoning behind this.

@tnavarts Will old (pre-2013) audios uploaded by Roblox but private still continue to work? The plugin says it will still work but I worry that it won’t because they are private, not public. One example audio is this: backgroundSong1 - Roblox

Well, since its the official Roblox account maybe? I honestly don’t know tbh

Roblox owned sounds that are currently private will continue to work (and likely be changed to public as well though that will take a while thanks to the manual work required cleaning up their names and descriptions).

I have to replace 56 with only 10 audio uploads per month. And that’s just for one game.

You could transfer the game to group ownership. (Or if it is already a group game and you are in a position that can manage ranks then good for you) then make new accounts at a rate of 1 per every 10 audios you need to upload then put each account into the group and rank them with permissions to upload group assets. Do the uploading through the accounts and assuming all the audios pass moderation fine then you should be golden. I know it is a pain to have to keep logging out and in to switch accounts but at the end of the day as long as it works then it should be fine.
