Custom Music

So I've got this music I want to use but it's copyrighted so I can't up load it to Sound Cloud because though I've purchased the rights to use the music I don't actually "own" it. Is there any work around to use my private music collection through Roll20 without uploading it to Sound Cloud?

Not presently through Roll20, no.

There is not an authorized way to do this through Roll20 directly. But if the song is permitted on YouTube, you can use Google Hangouts to play the youtube for everyone at the same time. It's a workaround idea that wouldn't get Roll20 in a risk of copyright infringement: You can share a link to the music, to other people, in the chat, and they can visit the link in another tab. Perhaps you can find the music streaming on a legal royalty-paying site like YouTube, Rdio or Spotify. If it is on youtube, you can use Google Hangouts to have all the players start the youtube at the same time, so everyone hears the sounds at the same time.

Jason F. - An old-school option might be to have a radio playing on your end with the music you want. Your Mic will pick it up. Might not be the best audio quality though. Another option is Youtube via Google+ Hangout (you'd have to search for the music one at a time as you can't set a "playlist". Or Hangouts On Air (not sure of the details of this one - here's a link: <a href="https://support.google.com/plus/answer/2553119?hl=" rel="nofollow">https://support.google.com/plus/answer/2553119?hl=</a>... Edit: Gold beat me to the Youtube thing :P
Thanks folks, I'll look into the Google Hangout thing.

I wonder if skype allows a person to stream music over it?

Just keep in mind one downside of streaming/playing thru your voice chat. Some people like me have headphones dedicated to voice only, and any other PC sounds (game sounds, music, roll20 sounds, videos) out the speakers. not sure if anyone you have does that, or if they are as fussy at me. That would drive me crazy having people pipe sounds mixed with people trying to talk into my headphones via the voicechat with no way to turn one down (or off) or the other up. Not sure if that would even be an issue that comes up for you to start with thought. So if not no biggie either way.

We're not going to discuss ways to break SoundCloud's TOS on this forum. Only warning.
