GTA 4: Insert your own music - how it works

GTA 4 has its own radio station for in-house music. This practical tip shows you how to insert your music here and then listen to it in the game.

Insert your own music in GTA 4

To listen to your own music in Grand Theft Auto 4, just follow these steps:

1. First close GTA 4.
2. Paste your music - at least 2 songs - into the folder "My Documents \ Rockstar Games \ GTA IV \ User Music".
3. Here you can insert MP3, WMA and M4A files. Links to folders with music are also possible.

Play added music in GTA 4

After you have added the music, you still need to read it into Grand Theft Auto and set the play option:

1. Open the audio menu in the game.
2. Here you can set whether new music is added automatically (Enable Auto Scan), the music in the folder is read in quickly (Quick Scan) or read in completely (Complete Scan).
3. The first time you should select "Complete Scan".
4. You can also set the order in which your songs are played.
5. With "Sequential" your music will be played in order - as it is in the folder.
6. With the setting "Shuffle" the songs are played randomly one after the other.
7. In "Radio" mode, your own music is built into the radio program, including announcements and advertisements.
8. Finally, switch on the radio station "Independence FM" to hear your music.
