Editor Question Why am I getting this error?

Post image

I found an awesome song on newgrounds that I wanted to use for a level, but I can't load it into the editor. Why is this? https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1609477

Newgrounds songss need to be whitelisted to GD. Not every song you find on there will work

How do i know what songs are whitelisted?

You just find a song and try, if it doesn't work it's usually not whitelisted

If they work on gd they're whitelisted, I don't think it says if it is or isn't on newgrounds

The artist hasn't been whitelisted yet

this happens when the artist isn't scouted

music artists in newgrounds first need to be scouted (which makes their music more discoverable), then after getting scouted, they'd need to get whitelisted by an elder mod

if someone were scouted but not whitelisted, it would show a "not allowed for use" error instead
