Quoted from John1210:

Get ready to be happy I think the pin will rock. Also Franchi on art I heard. He will make the game pop. Obviously Marvel will place restrictions so there will be some serious photoshopping I suspect but Franchi has a knack of making photoshop jobs look great.

Every page of (let's say almost) every Marvel comic book these days are drawn by very talented artists and look great - movies too. Why do I always hear that Marvel will place restrictions so it might not look good.

So if the art looks bad it's because Marvel did it?

Why would Marvel place restrictions to make it not look good? All Marvel does is make things look fantastic all the time - comics and movies. Same thing often said about Disney and SW art. Just saying I don't buy it - sounds like an excuse and a weak one at that.

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

That's what pinball browser is for. Put whatever songs in there you want.

It's a good point because if there are licensing restrictions and the game can't be what it could have been then we should be able to fix it.

This led me to think that Stern should from now on intentially make it easy to replace and add any songs for music pins in a standardized way. If USB is plugged in, it will simply replace or randomly select songs from there and play.

This would require a bit of programming to make sure it all makes sense still with song lengths for modes etc but perfectly doable.

Big win for Stern since they could just buy the min number of songs for operators. Since they are big into costcutting these days they could save here.

Big win for home use since we could easily put any and all songs we want to hear for any music pin!

In any case there are either financial restrictions or license restrictions that hold back every music pin from having all or the best songs people want anyway so having the ability to swap/add any songs out of the box would be a big win for everyone here!

Quoted from Black_Knight:

Clocks and MP3 players are consumer items not revenue generating commercial equipment. If they did this ascap and bmi would be all over locations where machines were set up.

I agree, that's why only for home use could you swap/add songs - this feature only for collectors. Imagine Metallica with randomly selected songs from the best 40 songs they have and GOTG with every song from the film.

This is doable and would satisfy collectors, lower cost of licensing and improve pins to be the best they could be.
