Hey everyone,

So the other day I realized I am regularly listening to Mass Effect's music and I thought it could be a good idea to make a webradio that would play Mass Effect's OSTs only. I would also add jingles in-between songs, the jingles being cool or funny quotes from the whole series (well, especially ME2 and 3 since I am not sure I can easily extract sounds and dialogues from ME1).
The broadcasted music would not only come from official soundtracks but also music ripped from game files that we can't find anywhere else and unofficial remixes.

What do you think ?

Here's a poll ; please answer it !

BioWare/EA : any pointer on legal issues ? I would gladly pay a (modest) monthly or annual fee for this.

Now with a poll.
Please answer it, even to say "No", so I can gauge people's interest in it.

I will probably end up doing it, just for the technical challenge and to discover and share musics and dialogues that are unavailable in the official soundtracks. The point is to know how I must size the server (won't be the same if 200 people say they will listen to it all the time or only 10 occasionnally).

Thanks for your help !

OK, first of all thanks to all of you who answered the poll !

Now, I have put up some kind of "alpha" version at this URL : http://lgml.fr:8000/
Just clikc on the "Listen" menu entry at the top and have it opened in your favorite music player (Winamp, Foobar, etc...). The output format is AAC and is generally understood by most mainstream music players out there.

The playlist includes the 3 official OSTs musics and a few Mass Effect 1 pick-up lines that will play every 15 minutes or so as jingles. These ones I haven't properly edited yet, so they might look odd from time to time. Don't worry.

If you try it out, please tell me if it worked and if it didn't, what kind of error you got. The radio will be up for the next 6 hours or so and maybe more after that.

EDIT : server is now down. I will perform more tests and add more contents before official launch.

Will you include atmospheric tracks?

[Grotaiche]

Yes probably. There is an "atmospheric" official OST for ME2 and the songs in it were played during the alpha session 3 weeks ago.

I am currently extracting musics and sounds from the games files and sorting everything out. It takes a lot of time and energy.
