I've put some tracks in that user tracks folder but where in-game do I hear them? just on the regular radio stations? because there isn't something like a user track player (haven't found it)

Im guessing Independance FM is broken, cant get it to play to songs, just keeps doing commercials. (Tried Quick/Complete/Auto Scan, does nothing)

If you are on Vista, do NOT goto games, rightclick GTA and click "Saved Games".

This brings you to the AppData folder, which also contains a User Music folder.

So, for Vista users, manually goto Documents.

Heres how independence fm works.

 

1. Download a song

2 find the song and drag to my documents/rockstar games/user radio or something. drag songs in there

3 go into the game and options/audio/complete scan

4 tune to station and rock out

It Works fine for me, just put all the songs you want into My Documents > Rockstar Games > GTA IV > User Music. Then scan them in game and switch to Independance FM.

You can also create a shortcut to your music folder and put it in the GTA "User music" folder.

Im sure you just Misspelled "Buy" thats what you mean... Buy a song... yes? biggrin.gif

 

Anyhoot, cant get it workin confused.gif Docs/R* Games/GTA IV/User Tracks... still no dice, guess I have too bad taste of music, so GTA will not allow it.

Do you actually read the manual? At all?

 

It says where to put your music and it will work. it also says that some songs may need to be converted. M4A support need itunes or quicktime support.

 

I have 55 songs of all kinds in Independence which works flawlessly.

 

Why don`t people read?

I listen to Metallica a lot in game smile.gif

 

No cradle of filth I'm afraid, but I'm always open for suggestions smile.gif

 

For vista you put either your MP3's into C:\users\username\documents\rockstar games\gta iv\user music, this can also be a shortcut to a folder or actual songs somwhere else on the filesystem (who would like to have duplicate songs on their harddrive, waste of space). XP would be c:\document and settings\username\documents\rockstar games\gta iv\user music.

 

In the game, you go to audio, and choose the appropriate scanning mode, I have used both auto scanning in combination with a quick scan (on Windows 7) and complete scan (on Vista, where somehow the auto scan didn't properly scan everything), you can also set the independance FM mode to either sequential, shuffle or radio (including commercials and dj's).

 

 

But of course this is all described in the Survival guide, page 15 (in the guide I got).

Sorry, to derail this abit, but your running GTA on Windows 7!?! Being that it is an early Beta, how well is it working? Where did you find the drivers and such? (Or are they Vista compatable?) I want answers!

 

And to re-rail the thread:

 

I don't believe this as been mentioned yet. If you only want a few songs from your music collection, you can also just make shortcuts for each music file and place them in the GTA's User Music folder. That will save you some disc space, and let you be more selective, as you don't have to shortcut entire folders.

I'm running GTAIV since today on Windows 7 X64 build 6801, I tried to install it last week (when I first got the game), but of course the install program of GTAIV (not social club, that worked fine) wasn't liking the OS. Tried in compatiblity mode (VISTA RTM) same problem. As I was anxious to play the game, and since I have Vista x64 on the same machine, I moved to that OS and installed it there. Earlier today, I tried to install it on Windows 7 again (just to see how it would perfrom and used windows XP2 as compatiblity mode, this fixed the install issue (DUH I hear you say, yeah I should have done that in the first place !).

 

Anyway, using the same drivers as on Vista X64 (the beta 180.84, as the official drivers for my card would not display textures correctly both on vista and windows 7), and it runs pretty similar, but the comparison might not be completely justified, as the vista X64 install has only GTAIV and required programs for GTAIV installed, nothing more, Windows 7 has much more stuff to run, so I guess if I tweak it a bit, I might get better performance on Windows 7, as it performs in general, better than Vista.

 

I thought I mentioned the shortcut thingy, but anyway, I simply have one shortcut in the user music folder, pointing to a folder which has all my MP3's in subfolder by album, works absolute fine.

The milage might be different, as I said on Vista I needed to force a complete scan (over 1300 songs, so it took a while), in Windows 7 a quick scan seems to be enough.

Normal? What's normal these days? Children of Bodom? sorry never heard of that stuff, btw I'm 32 y/o so in my days it was Metallica and Gunners, Motley Crue, stuff like that, also hip hop, like 2lifeCrew, RunDmC. Goes to show what type of personality you have by calling me a poof. I'm actually hetro but am metro sexual meaning I am not ghey but accept the fact that some men like other men but don't actually hate them for it.

 

On another note i could have you in court just by making an accusation that I'm a poof, did you know that?

 

Oh and I got it to work, yep it's in documents/RockstarGames/GTA4/User Music.

And, with a pic of a very underage Ellen Page for your avatar, does that make you a Pedophile?

 

I grew up on the same bands as the other two guys. (I'm only 29.) And, I can tell you for a fact that any 80s/90s metalhead could beat the living dogp*ss outta any modern day Goth/Emo Rocker.

I was thinking the very same thing. Bit odd to accuse members of being ghey when he has extremely young girls pics. The next knock at CEMEH_CEMEHbl4's door might just be the Australian Federal Police.

Ummm... Cradle Of Crap looks and sounds like a super sh*tty ripoff of Marilyn Manson meets Gwar.

 

Real metal?

 

Look up Megadeth, Dio, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Exodus, Metallica, Motorhead, Pantera, Samhain, etc.

I wouldn't call Black Sabbath pop metal ! Megadeath and Motorhead don't fall into that category either. Not too found of Pantera, and I honestly don't know Samhain.

 

Metallica of course is the best of the bunch for me, after 5 real classic albums and a few albums that were just ok, the last (Death Magnetic) kicks royal ass again smile.gif

 

I have to say, that metal does best whilst playing any GTA.

Excuse the f*ck out of me, I didn't realise other people were allowed to have opinions. sarcasm.gif

 

And since when the hell did half of the bands listed by Knyte come any close to being pop-rock?
