REQUEST: A Portable Orchestion Player

[Kaldaka]

Hello, I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in UI...

Dear SE, I would like to make a request for a Portable Orchestion Player (POP).
So when we're out roaming the world we could listen to the 10 song playlist we have set up inside our personal housings.
Obviously it wouldn't work in dungeons or while mounted, but when stood around in a city, or out slapping level 1 monsters with a level 70 weapon we could listen to such things as Pa Paya (for example).

Would it be possible?

There are so many beautiful songs, I would love to be able to listen to them without having to be inside a residence.
Please consider

Thank yous and much love! O/

Pr make the regelia be able play them, that be nice like ffxv travelling around with jukebox on. :X

Make it available only with the 4 seater car mount and let other players nearby hear your music. I'm joking but it would be a hilarious joke patch.

Considering how long it took them to give us an option to not have battle music to play at all, I can't imagine how difficult such a request would be BUT I'd love to see this added too.
The orchestrion is wasted on inns and housing given the nature of those areas. I'd love to listen to Under the Weight while crushing squirells outside Gridania or other various battle songs in the overworld/dungeons and more importantly in the housing zones (not actually in a house) since thats where people frequent the most aside from hub zones.

I think I can safely speak for most people that we're probably a bit sick to death of the housing theme playing on loop for literallty 6 years. So this would be a great feature to.....add variety to a rather painfully mundane existence...

Tie it to the tomestone emote and let us play the songs like we usually would with our smartphones.

Have you considered using:
Your phone
Youtube
Any offline media player
Speakers connected to another device that could play the above?

Also, I recall Yoshi saying custom music was already hard to implement. What is stopping you from using anything from this list?

I'm going to relate this to something Soken talked about relating to changing mount music during the NA Fanfest 18 Q&A Panel

He said specifically that a mount could only have one song loaded on to it due to dev team's coding issues. Everyone complained about Sephirot bird only having the first part of the song and not the second like the others and Soken said you would have to get an overwhelming response to choose which one they would do.

I'm gonna say if the coding is just like that having a custom playlist on the go would probably be a pipe dream. It would be fun to have though.

This has been requested in the past and would be nice to have, but the official response (I think I remember) is that in order for this to work you would need to load all of your orchestrion songs every time you zone somewhere. It's not an issue with housing areas because they're limited, but to have all those audio files load every single time you zone would be too much to handle unfortunately.

Considering how they can't even get an orchaestrion to play music as the BGM in a house I don't think they can manage making it portable.
