How to Add Music to GTA 5

If you’ve recently purchased the new GTA 5 game on PC, you may have noticed that the game offers the ability to play your own music files. While this feature is not available for the console versions of the game, the PC version allows players to enjoy their own customized music tracks while they’re playing the game.

The first thing to do when you want to play your own music is to create a radio station. This can be done through the “Self Radio” radio station feature in the game. However, it’s not fully documented in the game’s tutorials.

In order to create your own custom radio station, you’ll need to load music into a special folder. GTA V only supports a few sound formats. These include MP3, AAC, and WAV. Once you’ve selected your preferred audio format, you’ll need to copy the songs into the User Music folder. You can either double-click the User Music folder or right-click and open it.

When the user’s music files are copied to the User Music folder, the game will begin searching for them. The game will show a quick menu allowing you to perform a Quick Scan for Music or a Full Scan for Music. Select the option that works best for you.

For the fastest results, the game recommends that you select the Quick Scan for Music option. This is a very simple process. During the scanning process, you can also choose to disable other options. Depending on your preferences, you might find that the Quick Scan is more convenient than the Full Scan.

Before adding your own music, you’ll need to log into your PlayStation or Xbox One account. To do so, you’ll need to create a Spotify account and link it to your account. After logging into your account, you’ll be able to access Spotify’s playlists and albums. Alternatively, you can download the Spotify app from the Xbox Store. Depending on your operating system, the process might vary.

Once you’ve scanned your songs and loaded them into the User Music folder, you’ll be ready to start your GTA 5 adventure. To do so, you’ll need a vehicle to drive. Additionally, you’ll need to be in the city to begin the scanning. Also, if you plan on using cellular data, you’ll need to connect to a WiFi network.

Once the music is loaded into the proper folder, you can play it through the Self Radio. You’ll see a radio station circle on the top of the screen and your station will appear in the radio station selection wheel.

Playing your own music in the game is a great way to customize your experience. Just be sure to save your songs to the hard drive of your console. Otherwise, they’ll be gone. If you’re on the Xbox, you can change the radio station by pressing the left bumper on the controller.

In order to make a custom music station in GTA 5, you’ll need at least three separate music files. Those files should be in WAV or MP3 format.
