GTA 5 PC Custom Radio Station Details (Self Radio)
- Thread starter Regret Truth
- Start date
If a shortcut is not enough you should still be able to create a reference (symbolic link) inside Windows to the music folder. Instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/
Interesting. That seems like a useful feature.

This. I'm going to create the ultimate punk/metal playlist.

Never even thought of this you sir are a genius. You should check out Perturbator, M.O.O.N., Dance With The Dead, Lost Years etc. Hotline Miami really got me into New Retro Wave.
Commercials have been available on the custom station since San Andreas (but it was super rare for some reason). DJs since IV.

I don't think so since the files are local.

I remember it was supposed to have been a feature of APB that you could play online and have other people listen to your soundtrack if you were the driver of the vehicle. Of course it was just one of countless cool concepts they couldn't realize. That was a ton of legal problems with it.
Self-radio has always been interesting in GTA PC. in any PC game you can alt-tab out of game and put on music, but it gives it an extra dimension when it plays when you are inside a car, and the audio level changes in relations to other ambience, voice acting and such. that is niiccceee.

My favorite car fun fact is that you can hear the enginge clicking while cooling off when you get out of the car.
I might just put Suburbia on repeat.

Sounds great. However nearly all my music is from iTunes and knowing Apple I won't be able to use them. Guess I'll have to make another 2GB of music folder.... Unless there's an alternative?

Yeah, that is so good.

Couldn't you just copy it from the regular ITunes folder? It's not like they have DRM on them.

It's been a year since I booted up GTA V on PS3.

It's been present in many games like Sleeping Dogs, Saints Row 4 and Far Cry 4 to name a few.
Love the song but this part sounds like you killed someone and want to hide their dead body.

1) This feature is usually PC-exclusive
2) Can you even import MP3s onto these consoles anyway?
Amazing
Does it work with just shortcuts too?
You can use symbolic links to link the content of one folder to another. So you can keep it in your normal music folder and sort of a shortcut in the radio folder for the game.

No, unfortunately. Some of my bought music via iTunes is DRM'd from some years ago (they stopped DRM in 2009). There are ways round it, I think. But involves some jiggery pokery. Hopefully I can sort something out.
