Playing Magnatune Music in your Second Life Land

Playmagnatuneinsl

We'd like you add our music to your land, so that people visiting your space can listen to our fabulous music. We've made 40 different streams--from Alternative Rock to World--just for Second Life use, so you can pick the genre that best fits your tastes.

Best of all, we consider all Second Life playing of these streams to be a promotional use of our music, and grant you a license to use our music for free. We also grant you a collecting society waiver, so that if ASCAP or BMI ever asks you to pay them for the music you're using on Second Life (something they can do if you play anyone else's music in SL), you can point them to this page.

How-to:

To add a music stream you need to either own the land or be an Officer/Owner of group owned land.

  • Be standing on the parcel of land
  • Go to World menu > About Land...
  • Click the Media tab
  • Enter one of the Magnatune music urls listed below (such as http://sl.magnatune.com/Ambient)
  • Press Enter
  • Click the "x" in upper right corner to close the menu
  • That's it!

    Addurl

    You can also subdivide your land into separate parcels, each with its own Magnatune music stream, just as we've done on the Magnatune SL space. Second Life has an excellent tutorial on this.

    Here are the stream URLs for playing our music:

    can you use any streaming radio station on your land? or do you need a 2ndlife specific station?
