Upon reading the patch notes and starting up my game after maitenance, I was excited about the mentioned integrated music. For about 10 seconds. I clicked on PW Radio and my game is instantly minimized and Explorer open to a 3rd party website. Affiliation is great, don't get me wrong, but this idea wasn't thought out very well. I had assumed that said 'integrated radio' would be INTEGRATED into PW.

First off all, I've been doing this all along. I open Firefox and log into Project Playlist and let it rip. Then I log into PW and go into the settings and turn the game music all the way down.

Secondly, from hearsay, a lot of people share a problem that I have encountered with the game. Although it is relatively low on bugs, the game has one bothersome flaw. Hit the Windows key or try to Alt-Tab out and I'm left with an unresponsive game client that minimizes itself instantly when you try to click in it.

Now if I am right about not being the only one who can't Alt-Tab and be able to get back into the game without closing it with Task Manager and restarting it, then what good is PW Radio, since it must be accessed from in the game?

Is it too much to ask for a truly integrated radio exclusively in-game? Forget the lame CD covers from the website and display the songs in plain text with advertisements from this affiliate music site as necessary.

Anything that won't make me restart my unresponsive game would be phenominal. b:surrender

    Entirely agreed. The unresponsive minimized client doesn't always happen to me when I tab out, but it DOES happen.

    I agree. I also thought that it would be implemented in the game, only to find out that it minimizes, goes to the website, and see that its only for USA people only..

    Why not find a radio station that actually does play for INTERNATIONAL people, instead for the US?

    I didn't notice that the site was for U.S. only. I guess it's blocked by your country?
