Three tracks at the same time
By default, rolisteam has 3 music players. They are completely seperated to one another. It allows you to have background music, sound effects and environment sounds at the same time. The goal is to improve the experience.
Streaming music
Rolisteam is not streaming any audio files. It send stream information (such as URL) or filename to play. If you want to play your own audio files. You must send them to each of your players. Your players must put them into one directory and then, set the directory as music directory in audio player. Each audio player has it own directory.
Rolisteam can not be used as streaming server. So, music files are not transferred to each players. There are two reasons for that:
- Bandwidth issue
- This feature would make rolisteam a piracy software according to french laws.
Play music from TableTopAudio.com
Rolisteam provides a playlist with many background music from TableTopAudio.com. This playlist can be loaded from the contextual menu.
