    It's an interesting data point and it might be worth having in the future. However, before adding more in-depth data we want to update our platform page and make sure that the data structure is solid. After that we think it would be worth looking into additional Arcade platforms and differences as well. Thanks!

    Heya! This could indeed be interesting, however there’s a lot of possible legal investigation to look into when it comes to music copyrights.

    In the short term it’s hard to say how we could approach this. Long term we of course would love to expand our data and game info with music, sounds like an obvious fit!

    Yet another idea on how to handle this... Just allow user to link to a itunes song.
    Halo Example: https://music.apple.com/us/album/halo/1448060862?i=1448061482

    If user is not logged into apple music they can hear a short preview of the song.

    Perhaps IGDB could handle this similar to this site that I just found or even link to this site?

    https://www.tunefind.com/

    They try to list all songs used in games (also movies and tv). There is a preview of the song from the itunes store (if it exists). They have an API but you have to pay for it (because they are not cool like IGDB).

    Awesome that you're considering it!

    I've been trying to think of a way to create a music database myself and similarly trying to figure out the best way to avoid any legal issues.

    One idea could be to just embed a youtube video to the theme song and let youtube take care of all the copyright details. example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGmvpt5o5Ws)

    Another idea is to only have music which is licensed under creative commons. That unfortunately means a lot of game music won't be available. example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NO0bsMp1uw) This video is licensed under youtube creative commons license AND the user posted download links in the description of the video.

    If you do implement anything to handle theme music it would be great if there could be multiple entries for the music. As well as an order (many games the music is per level so the order would be the order that the levels appear in). Lastly a type of music (enum list). 0 could be "main/title screen" for example, 1 could be "level", 2 could be "credits", 3 could be "intro music", 4 could be "other/misc" just as examples.

    And maybe a long shot, but could twitch/amazon leverage the licensing of amazon music? I've not looked into this too much but I did see "Super Mario Bros. Theme" by 8 Bit Era is available on there. This probably is not the EXACT original theme song, but it's very close.

    I second this idea. It would greatly improve searching to be able to search directly by standardized rom name (no intro, redump, etc.)
