User Radio Question.

[Jakesss]

Okay so, I copied all of my music from one artist from iTunes into the User Radio, but the Radio only seems to recognize songs from 3 out of their 11 or so albums. Please help?

[Jakesss]

I have 182 songs in there and it only recognizes 41, please help? D:

Independence FM

You can now select your own favourite songs to play through the in-game radio
station Independence FM.

Simply place your non DRM'ed MP3s, WMAs, or M4As (or shortcuts to your music
folders) in the file location below:

My Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\User Music

Note: Quicktime or iTunes needs to be installed for M4A support.

After accessing Indepedence FM as you would with any other in-game radio station,
you will also have the following options in the Audio tab of the Pause Menu:

Scanning Modes

Enable Auto Scan: Set this to ON to perform a Quick Scan automatically on game
startup.
Quick Scan: Reads the audio  les within your folder, plays back exactly as they are
in the folder.
Complete Scan: Reads the audio  les within your folder, performs additional
analysis to enhance user experience.

Play Modes

Sequential: Plays through audio files as they appear in your folder, can skip songs.
Shuffle: Plays through audio files randomly, can skip songs.
Radio: Plays through audio files randomly with radio adverts and DJ banter in
between tracks, cannot skip songs.

I've already done everything on that.

That's not a problem. You just have a lot of tracks in your folder. All tracks will be played. Some rare however. This is random. But maybe you can choose "Sequential" play mode and then it can help.

But when I do the complete scan it only recognizes 41 of the songs.

[Sledgehammer]

Hm, that's strange. I have over 100 songs and all successfully. Have you made shortcuts for every song?

I just copied them from iTunes, so yeah there's a shortcut for every song I put in there.
