== How Music Helps a Game ==
== Uploading your Music ==
Music in your game can help with several things...
On March 22nd 2022, all existing audio that were more than 6 seconds long — alongside any other audio uploaded past that date — were made private on ROBLOX. This, unfortunately, left players of old ROBLOX launchers and revivals with only bland songs and legacy sounds to use for their games. Fortunately, there are ways to bypass this and once again fill your games — both new and old — with wonderful music.
* Gives professional appearance (or rather, sound)
* Makes the game more fun <!-- Please. "Funner isn't a word -->
* Creates a mood


For these reasons, or more, you may want to use sounds.

== Uploading your Music ==
== Local Assets ==  
The ability to upload [[Sound]] files is currently limited to administrators only. There is no official way to upload your sounds, and the unofficial way was removed in 2010. The reason for the lack of sound playing is the massive amount of files that ROBLOX would be forced to stream. Some songs were uploaded by the [[developers]] and will work, you can find these in official models, [[tools]] and [[gear]].
After long hours of looking through old ROBLOX games in studio, it would not take long to discover a link which includes the term <code>rbxasset://</code>. This phrase, '''rbxasset''', is in reference to the '''content''' folder which is in every old ROBLOX client folder. An example of this link used in action is with the default face, which is called '''face.png''' in the '''textures''' folder. The link would be formatted as <code>rbxasset://textures/face.png</code>.
