GTA Sountrack off of PS1 disc

[GTAStreets]

Remember the game that started it all? Did you ever try putting your GTA disc into a CD player or even your car? If you haven't and still own a original copy try it! You'll get to hear the sountrack of the game. Works with all CD players. One of my favorite parts is senior talking as al Capone from the untouchables movie.

GTA and GTA London were two in thousands of games that stored music or just audio in general in CD-XA/"Orangebook" format. Since actual program data took up so little space back then, you could add 50 or 60 minutes of uncompressed audio on the disc alongside it. Other games like Quake and Tomb Raider did the same.

 

Funnily enough, the limited edition of GTA came with a soundtrack CD that had exactly the same audio on it, just without the game data. Odd choice for an extra.

That actually makes sense.

The first track in such a mixed mode is the data track and any regular audio CD player will actually play it.

The result being earbleedingly loud noise.

You tend to only make that mistake once.
