playing game music on internet radio show

arfur · 10 Jul 2011 at 21:10

I do a game/console show on an internet radio, the station pays PRS etc and all tracks are recorded as we're trying to get a full time license, however how would I go on with rigging up a laptop or console and broadcasting the music and sounds from a game I want to review in the show etc.?

I don't understand. If you already do the radio show surely you know how to stream/upload your show?.

surely just find out the artist for the tracks in the game and forward that to the PRS people ?
I don't really know how it works but can't go wrong if you do that ?

I have a feeling he wants to know how to rip the soundtrack from a game?.

I want to play a game on air but have the sound pumped through the broadcast channel, its for a show I'm doing on retro games..

what consoles ? you just need to send the audio cables into your pc's input or send the TVs output into your pc's input (it probably has a headphone out or a speaker/amp out)

IIRC you can play under 10 seconds of the music without paying any royalties too?

And over 10secs we need to pay? But who? Would it be namco, code masters or nintendo or prs? It will be a little gameplay so a bit of opening music+ gameplay for a couple of minutes.

Thanks for all the help.
