limited songs in Radio? 10 only?

[Bitauren™]

must have heard atom bomb, the wanderer, end of the world like a million times on repeat.
i think there is only like 10 songs and they are on repeat over and over again
is there even other songs to 'unlocked'?

Not necessarily. Any song published in 1920's or earlier is in the public domain. So that's the entire classical and freedom radio playlist right off the bat.

It doesn't cover re-recordings, which Fallout makes plenty use of.

There are way more than 10 songs. Over 30 on Diamond City Radio alone, actually.

Many of them are re-runs from previous games however. Personally I've just given up on ingame radio because of annoying DJs, and gone with the combined experience from all of the games, plus addons from modpacks.

There actually ARE unlockable songs, but I'm not certain what triggers them. There are so far three songs that I've heard that are sung by Magnolia (the singer from the Third Rail in Goodneighbor) that have been added to the Diamond City Radio playlist, but again I have no idea what I did to get them to play or if they've always been on but are just rare.

I actually don't mind the fact that they have songs from the previous games on the radio. Only something like 10 or so of them are from the older games anyway. And, it feels kinda good to hear some of my favorites like Butcher Pete and Civilization as I run around. It's a small thing that makes the world feel more connected to that of the previous games in my mind.

But, I've seen that there are already some radio mods out. Big music nerd that I am, I may give one a try to add more songs to the station. :)

You can't add more songs yet - Modders are simply merging tracks to bypass the restriction.

Well, however it's done.

This is the mod I was thinking about.

This so so much. I've heard these songs countless times before in FO3. Yes they still add to the games atmosphere, but would it have been so hard for the devs to add some new songs?

And that timid DJ is annoying as hell

Every song they want to add costs money. Bethesda has to buy the rights to be allowed to use it commercially without running into copyright issues. I'm surprised they've put in this many licensed songs in the first place.

And I actually like Diamond City Radio's DJ. Travis is a hell of a lot less annoying than THREEE DAAAAAAWGGG, AAUUUUUHHHHH.

This guy its actually right Bethesda is a small Indie company that sells a few copy of indie Titles yearly so give them a break guys they obviously lack the funds to put more songs in there

This "guy" knows what she's talking about. Very funny. Bethesda most likely has different priorities financially than licensed music in their games. A lot of resources go into world design and writing of the story. You're forgetting that Bethesda is also a large publisher that publishes titles developed by multiple developers, not just their own and their subsidiaries'. They're all on a budget and deadline, unfortunately.

There is always Conelrad http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35061/? , or just add your own music files .

Is there a bug with Diamond City Radio or something? I know they have over 30 songs on the playlist, but it seems like all I ever hear is Anything Goes, Crazy He Calls Me, and Butcher Pete. I swear that if I have to listen to Cole Porter one more time, I'm going to go shoot Travis.

Why did they reuse so many songs from Fallout 3 anyway? They should have kept the Ink Spots tracks, since those are pretty iconic to the series, and mined Conelrad for entirely new material.

Seriously though, why isn't this song in the game?

Given the timeframe these songs are chosen from its likely all this stuff is in the public domain anyway - so no worrying about licensing and costs.

Hey, at least you don't get the "Mighty Mighty Man" songs over and over.

Nope most of the songs on diamond city are from the 40's or later which is still within the time frame for copyright and licsensing.

And more importantly, re-recordings (which a few of the songs are) by other artists count from that date, not the originals.
