ETS2 Music

[Johnny M]

I looked up a YT video on how to add music into ETS2. I added some music MP3 and MP4 Files in the music folder of ETS but I doesn't work in game. Is this the correct way or do I need a different type of file?

I mean music is game as in using the radio in the truck which plays your music which you normally must put into the folder called Music in the ETS2 folder

I put music ages ago into the Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\music folder, and when playing the radio those songs play. Still do. That's all you should have to do.

The game reportedly doesn't like some MP3 files because of the different versions of ID3 tags, so that's one possibility - try some different songs perhaps. I'd also make sure there's no non-music files in there just to be safe.

Could changing the settings for Internet Radio stations affect it? I never looked at that.

Hi Morgoth
My music files were all Windows Music Player files, so I had to convert them to MP3 .
When I used ETS2 for the first time all of my music was available, so I shortened the list.
When using Windows Explorer later, I noticed the "music" entry in c:\documents ...ets2\music was a Shortcut and not the actual files. That's what I was trying to explain in my first post.
Best regards

Sorry. I was just trying to say if someone didnt know what I meant by music in game I was just explaining that I was talking about the in game radio you use in the truck to play the music. I was just trying to type it quick so sorry if I didn't word it properly:)

My music are all MP4 files and they have video because I just downloaded the YouTube videos using savefrom.net. So would I need to convert this using another app?

You can Google for a free files converter.
Use it to make MP3 files, then put them into C:/Music folder.
Delete any non-music files in the folder

Thanks stan. I will definitely try that. I think its because of the MP4 file that it wont work because it is carrying Sound and Video. I will either try getting a converter or just re downloading the songs in a MP3 format. Thanks for you help

audio files are defined in ETS2 config as "*.mp3, *.ogg" and no others.
