Just for that player/those SG members, right? 'Cause otherwise I'm betting would be used as a griefing tool within seconds of it launching.
The other thing that I'm not sure about is the legal ramifications. Theoretically, if it only called up the .mp3 for you and only you, I don't see how it could be an issue. Calling it up for a whole SG however...
Never surrender! Never give up!

Only for you. As the file would have to be hosted on your machine, it would be no different than embedding a .mp3 player into the game.
For the SG to all have the same song, it would have to be on folks individual machines. However, if people wanted a different theme they could have that. This would be an individual choice, not anything that the devs would control, or SG leaders could mandate.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
Ah.
Works for me then.

You can set Winamp up to play certain songs on certain keypress combinations already.
Yes, these keypresses will work inside of CoH. Just about anything else, as well.
Got mine

I really wish I knew how to embed links .
I know that many folks already play with the sound down and play their own music in the background as they play. I tend not to, as the sounds are part of the experience for me.
However, I have several characters who I've adopted certain songs as their theme songs. What I would like is to be able to have the game call up these songs, in game, as follows:
1) Via a preset macro (such as the "Ready" or battlecry macros)
2) Attached to our bases.
So for instance, my personal SG, "Those Meddling Kids" could have a song attached that would be the background music for my base.
Or one of my characters, the Solar Paladin, could have another song that I could call up when she plays that would be her personal theme.
The songs could be any .mp3 (or other music file you'd like) that the user would have on their system. I recognize that this is not anywhere near a high priority, but I think it would be fun.
