music player .wav files do not play

[dreddsweet]

So i put a song into the music player folder under Scum/Music, song is in .wav format. Song will not play on music player. Radio Stations work fine, but not player-loaded songs.

Might have to have a specific filename format that they forgot to mention. Maybe?

I know that with the game "U-Boat", it's not enough to just put music into the correct folder(s). You also have to populate an Excel spreadsheet in a specific folder to tell the game what files to play and when / where.

I suppose it's possible, but they didn't mention anything like that in the patch notes:

To add your own music to the music player, you can do so by adding files to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamappscommon\SCUM\SCUM\Music folder. Only .wav and .flac typo of files are supported.

I find it funny that "typo" in that quote is, itself, a typo.

@dreddsweet - Just to cover basics, did you hit ALT-J to switch from radio to music player? And did you happen to restart the game after putting the song in the folder? I don't know if that's necessary, but servers need a restart after a change is made to settings.

Can you tell me are the size of the files bigger than 200MB? If they are music player will not load them in and they will not work.

I put 10 songs in my folder last night and they all played like they are supposed to. All under 100 MB with Artist and Song Title in RIFF INFO. Question for Devs: The scrolling text that is displayed on screen which shows the Artist and Song title, is that being pulled from the RIFF header or the filename of the wav?

After using an audio converter to convert MP3 to Flac (i.e. from 5MB files to 45Mb files)

Edit: Seems that Flac files do work. I just had the wrong folder. But if you mess with the audio levels in the main menu, it won't say which track is playing. (Make sure you put it in the right Music folder there are at least 2, I put it in the wrong one first.)

For the conversion I used TotalAudio converter.
