    Why can't we have songs over 10 minutes in length?

    The Camera Eye is almost 11:00 in length (One second short).

    We can have 10+ minute songs in Rock Band, but not through the RBN.

    Is it a case of the RBN software actually doesn't allow songs to be longer than 10 minutes, or that 10+ minute songs won't pass HMX's peer review?

    If it's the peer review, then there's always the chance for an exception considering how much of a well known band DT is, the exposure it would give the RBN concerning bigger bands, and the fact that a large proportion of their discography is over 10 minutes.

    Still, incredible news. DT are my favourite band, so this is really a dream come true. I think I could die happy after playing the solo in Under A Glass Moon, or the Metropolis Part I instrumental section.

    I can't see in the spec where is the 10 minutes limitation note, do I have to buy new glasses ?

    Not going to buy anything by them, but it's great that a big band is doing something like that. Hoping more bands will follow them!

    It's not the peer review. It was specifically stated when RBN was announced that songs will have a 30-second minimum, and 10-minute maximum.

    Finding out whether that's a software limitation or perhaps a server-side hardware limitation is what's key to seeing if the rule can be bent for larger artists. I hope this goes through, because otherwise we probably wouldn't see any more DT from HMX's main store for a long while.

    So there's no hope for Octavarium on RBN? :( (The song is 24 minutes)
