How do you add music to ATS radio/mp3 player?

[norbiq]

For local music (mp3) just put your mp3 files in D:\Users\[user]\Documents\American Truck Simulator\music
For radio stations, open Radio in the game and click on "Update from internet" button on the bottom.

I had to go to /home/[suername]/.local/share/American Truck Simulator/music. As far as internet radio I don't see it.
Looking further into this, mp3s aren't supported on Linux :/ I threw some ogg files into that folder and they work fine. Internet radio may be using mp3s which is why they don't work. :(

That was the same ETS 2. It is a pity though that ogg radio steams cannot be played back. You can still fire the radio station in a web browser in the background.

mp3s work on linux if u have the codecs installed

That's true, but the game probably does not link against them and thus cannot play back mp3s.

short answer is you don't.
it's been a low priority for the last few years in ETS2, and that isn't likely to change in ATS.
Heck, they just fixed opengl issues in ETS2 that allows using map mods reliably without texture issues, I've had that issue as long as I've had the game.

Thanks Dude! The In game instructions were not that good.

Not to be a jerk, but my answer would be to run Amarok in the background and to hell with the built-in radio.

I confirm, the web radio will not work with ATS and Linux.
I use Linux Manjaro ... I tried everything I knew, the solution is:
Use a player in the background, decrease the volume of the effects, in order to listen to music more ...Enjoy!
Sorry for my bad English.

Working fine, playing and listening to streaming inside ATS. Just hit the update radios and you will have a bunch of options to listen to.

Hurray!! I have just tried and it does indeed work!!

Thanks a bunch, SCS.
