I don't understand why companies don't just put every single damn video game soundtrack on Spotify and Apple Music. Can't it only benefit them?

Not happy with nuking out of Youtube all FE music, Nintendo hits GilvaSunner (copyright claims) and BrawlBRSTMs3 (terminated)
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
I always assumed BrawlBRSTMs3 got into heat/was taken down because it contained download links to the music. Not mp3s or anything mind you (they were files meant to be modded into Smash), but still downloads nonetheless.
Still sucks, a lot of tracks gone, though personally I never cared much for the extensions as I did the music. As for GilvaSunner, at least I can still access that channel.

Ignoring licensing rights, there really isn't a good reason that I know of, of why they don't monetize this stuff on digital and streaming platforms.
There you go.
Sadly, the Hi-Res version is exclusive to japan online stores. You could get it back when it released through VPNs, but the trick died now.
I will give Atlus props for KOF XIII though. I'm not 100% sure if they put every song that was actually in the game on the pack-in OST.
Also does this mean that it's going to be extremely hard to find Nintendo music on youtube from now on? It was pretty easy to find some songs on soundcloud but I'm sure they'll find a way to get those taken down as well.
Yeah that was cool, if your soundtrack is gonna be a sampler anyway go crazy with it
I get doing this for new games even if it's misguided since they must think the free publicity is worth less than pushing some people to buy the OST. But old games? I noticed some Super Mario World tracks got taken down. I'd love to own the CD but the only way to buy it would be second hand and there is no way for Nintendo to profit here. What's the point? I imagine it has to be some weird copyright thing - I find it hard to believe there is someone at HQ who's day job is to be concerned about SMW tracks on YouTube
this post made me relisten to the soundtrack and now I'm tempted to rebuy the game on the switch just for the music
It's wild how Nintendo's official stance on their OSTs seems to be "buy the game if you want to listen to the music"
I have a YouTube playlist of music that I keep and maintain for whatever music sounds interesting to me.
I just updated it today to add music from the first Dynasty Warriors (thanks Giant Bomb) and noticed many videos were deleted, and I pretty quickly realized it was the BrawlBRSTMs3 x account.
I really need to get around to downloading all the music from the playlist before something obscure goes away into oblivion. (It's been easy to do with the program youtube-dl so yeah.)

Now that some music has been removed from YouTube all of the original masters Nintendo has stored will suddenly disintegrate...?
It's disappointing that they did it (especially speaking as someone who does guitar covers for a hobby), but they are well within their rights to do this.
This is obviously suboptimal in most scenarios, but there is a music player in-game where you can listen to all the songs you've encountered while playing.
Yeah I wouldnt mind but now I have to buy the soundtrack rip it and put it everywhere i want to immediately listen to
Square Enix at least puts their stuff on streaming services unlike Nintendo, see all the Final Fantasy OSTs
Look at the current amazon prices, clearly it was a limited thing.
Regardless of how you feel about this issue this ban is complete bullshit. YouTube uploads are piracy.
You can't ban someone for slyly advocating for downloads soundtrack RIPs when you're complaining about not being able to listen to an upload of those same files.
yeah which kinda makes it a little weird to catch a ban for saying you'll acquire the music elsewhere... the videos were pulled because they were unauthorized uploads of copyrighted material. not sure why it would matter morally if you listen to it on a stream or download it from a torrent or w/e.
the "preservation" argument is kind of obvious bullshit when these tracks are often ripped from games which are still readily available, or in some cases, new releases. the issue is not "preservation", ensuring the songs are not lost to time, but rather convenience/availability so you don't have to go through the hassle of loading up a video game at a specific point simply to listen to a selected track.
Oh so that explains it.
I found it really strange the other day when I searched for a FE 3H track and only found covers or something like that.
This is a bummer since I had a YouTube playlist that I used during DnD sessions, and it had quite a few FE and Zelda tracks on it.

Youtube is not piracy... it has basically any song ever made, many uploaded by the own artist page.
I think people tend to have a much softer stance on piracy when it comes to things like music or pornography in general. Avoiding pirated content on YouTube is almost a skill in and of itself.
ok, but we're talking about unauthorized uploads. that's why they were removed.
I was going to say that at this point, GilvaSunner only had his Smash Brawl uploads got claimed. (The rest of his uploads is still accessable) But I guess this likely mean the channel days are numbered.
And regarding to soundtrack's accessibility. Yeah, it's kinda suck that for the most part, Nintendo music is only avaliable on CD with some exceptions. But there's nothing we can do except give them feedback one way or another.

Nintendo is the only company that does that...
And for no profit, they think people are buying CD's in 2019?
Wow. I am so pissed off right now. Looks like this is the end then. BrawlBRSTMs3 was one of my go to channels for VG music and not JUST for Nintendo content. I knew they were already having issues with Nintendo about this, but I didn't expect they would fucking nuke the entire channel. Thanks Nintendo. Fuck you too. At least I got to listen to the Banjo Kazooie OSTs one last time yesterday before this happened.
At least we still have Gilvasunner, but who knows how long he'll last in this kind of environment. Nintendo needs to screw off as far as I'm concerned. I really don't get what's so wrong with being able to listen to their music on YouTube. No other game company cares about this crap other than Nintendo, it seems. Oh well.

That's fine because they're uploaded by the official publishers. This is different.
Would you say the same about downloading roms of games that aren't available for purchase anymore?
You simply don't listen to the music and/or play the games.
It's funny how people seem to handwave it away when it comes to music, but not the games themselves. Just something I noticed here over several threads of this variety.
Which soundtrack? Yahoo Auctions is honestly your best bet for some of this stuff.
The Fire Emblem Three Thrones OST is on pre-order I think.
