Importing sound files

    Just wondering if this has ever been brought up/toyed around with. Would just like to use not only music but a lot of ambient sound and background noises, chains rattling, screams in the distance, the low growls of a monster of some sort. Even if I had to produce the sounds, was just wondering if there was/would be a way to import sound files much like that of pictures? I like some of the sound/music that is available but it is still very limiting, especially in the background noise or sound bit department, swords clashing, sharpening blade, etc. Not aware of there currently being a way to import though I may be wrong, is this anything that has been requested/looked in to?

You can upload any sounds you want to SoundCloud for use in Roll20. Take a look at&nbsp;<a href="http://help.roll20.net/sidebar-jukebox/" rel="nofollow">http://help.roll20.net/sidebar-jukebox/</a>

Is there an option in SoundCloud to upload music privately, so that only you can access them? Let's say I want to use a well known song from Final Fantasy or Lord of the Rings. Can I put it on Soundcloud privately, without worrying about it being removed for copyright?

There is a private upload and I've even been able to get ROll20 to see the private and add it to the jukebox, but it doesn't play. &nbsp;It would be nice if they let us do private, but I'm assuming soundcloud would still complain even if its private if they are anything like youtube. &nbsp;I've made videos with copyright music and put them up as private and they still get taken down. &nbsp;Its a pain even when you aren't showing to others or making any money off it, but thats life currently.

Hmm, thanks for the replies, will look into this. Interested if nothing else in making my own sounds to post, be it screams or blade clashing etc. &nbsp;Just any small thing that can add to the experience being Roll20 can do so much, I love making my players jump now with the one sound file I have found that is a scream of sheer terror.

If you use a mic, you can always play files off your computer.&nbsp; It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the in game option, but it works.&nbsp; (We found out how well, when one of the other players forgot their camera was on and started dancing to music he thought only he could hear)

I would prefer having the ability to upload sound files directly. &nbsp;I don't like a) having to use a 3rd party website, unlike all the other features of Roll20 and b) having to worry about copyright for songs/sounds I legally own (I own the DVDs of Bleach and the OST, but can't use the sounds in my game because they're copyrighted...). It just seems like there shouldn't be reliance on a 3rd party for a core feature. &nbsp;What if Soundcloud goes out of business? &nbsp;Or their server crashes? To me this is the biggest thing that's glaringly out-of-place in Roll20. &nbsp;Even video chat has three different options. &nbsp;Seems weird.

You should be able to use sounds or songs as "Fair use" if you're not going to try and make money from them.&nbsp; There is a workaround for the copy-write removal from sites like Youtube etc...&nbsp; If you have any audio editing software just resample it up or down one full octave.&nbsp; Very hard to notice a differance unless you listen side by side.
