Linkin Park is horrible. Listen to some real music, then maybe I'll care about what you have to say.

Instead of creating a DDR machine that can rip CDs and generate steps on the fly (and would cost much more), it would be much easier to have commercial artists encode their CDs
with steps. That way, you don't have to worry about beats being slightly off, and can even dance the way the artists intended.

That would be a cool idea. A while ago I was thinking of timing the bpm to a song. Then I'd just mute the ddr game and play that song over another song with the closest bpm. But it would be alot easier if the machine would just do that for you, like you said.

Even better idea!
Songs take up lots of space on CDs, but step files take up very little.
In addition to releasing CDs with new songs and steps, Konami could also put out CDs with step files for songs already on the machine. You could easily fit over a thousand different step files on a CD that way.

yeah that would be cool but there would probably be a problem with vulgar songs. Some parent would complain about their children's virgin ears.

Chances are, if you made a DDR (or music game in general) that could play CDs, you'd get those music artists associations mad because it was a public demonstration of their music for mass audience and they aren't making extra pennies... LOL

... and they'd want to sue the company that made it, kinda like music sharing. It's like showing a DVD in public, it has that 'for home use only' trash.

OK, so that's far fetched, but it could happen (look at the world we live in). Good idea though.

Okay, okay. It's not likely this will happen within the next ten years, at least. But until then, we've all got StepMania.
Three cheers to the Mac OS X port of StepMania!
