TOMLESTER27 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I can't for the life of me get independence FM to work to play my own music. I have tried every suggestion the internet has to offer and none of it has worked. I just have this graphics mod installed, no other mods. Can anyone help me?

44Orca Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) @TOMLESTER27 Hey there, I trying to do it now for you, it was also not playing for me but I managed to get it working. They have to be fully mp3 files set to open with windows media player first of all. Also before you do anything, delete User Music folder and recreate it there. Try putting ONLY 3 mp3 song files instead of just 1. For some just this can make the music work. If not, do the rest below. Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\User Music then you have to copy them over ALSO to C:\Users\*(Your PC Name)*\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\User Music Open the game, load your save file and first click "Complete Scan" and select Independence FM Mode to Sequential. They should be working now. Tell me if it worked for you. I hope it did, Independence FM is kinda problematic. (This seems to be the solution here) If you have installed mods it could be in game directory. Edited February 12 by 44Orca TOMLESTER27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I done everything you said but it's still not working. in your screen shots you have some files inside C:\Users\*(Your PC Name)*\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\User Music called "cpuinfo" and "userfile.dat, usertracks.dat". My folder doesn't have these files inside maybe that is why it wont work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tried putting 3 songs mp3 files in both of those gta iv usermusic folders, the one in appdata and the other in documents?, clicking complete scan etc? Those files there looking at the dates they got created when you press to scan from options. Are you from Steam? It is best to try reinstalling it, maybe it could work then. Other than that I don't know what could be going wrong Edited February 9 by 44Orca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I don't know what could be going wrong I did more than 3 songs. I did about 20 songs, all mp3 format, all open with windows media player. I put the songs inside both folders and i did the scan too. I just found another user music folder inside my game directory. I will try putting the music there.

Ah that's sad then I don't know what could be issue, try reinstalling and tell me then I guess if you are from steam. When set to sequential you won't hear any news, it will play your songs instantly btw. if they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMLESTER27 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 I got it to work! The user tracks folder is inside the game directory for some reason. Not where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44Orca Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Never heard of that ever I even can't find anything related to user music being in game directory, but okay I guess if you got it to work that's good, have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMLESTER27 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 No me neither, i downgraded the game for the graphics mod im using so i think it has something to do with that. The save files are in the game directory too which is also not normal. But thaks for helping me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44Orca Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Ah is alright I guess, for others, the solution is my first comment, depends if you have mods or not. Edited February 9 by 44Orca TOMLESTER27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
