This page contains information on the user-created Self Radio station in GTA 5.

Users who play GTA 5 on PC can create their own radio stations, with track lists made up of their own music - or any other audio files you might choose to add.

How to Create a Self Radio Station

Adding your own music to GTA 5 is easy, just follow these simple steps:

• Open the Rockstar Games folder in My Documents
  ( [LOCAL DISK] > Users > My Documents > Rockstar Games )
• Open the GTA V folder.

Open the User Music folder.

• Copy or move the desired audio files into the User Music folder.
  (At least 3 audio files are required)
• Instead of directly copying music files, you can also create Shortcuts to music files or folders. ?This saves on hard drive space by create small links to the files, rather than duplicating your music files.
• To create a shortcut, either hold Shift+Ctrl and?then drag and drop files/folders, or select the files and use right-click Copy and then right-click Paste Shortcut.
• If you create a folder shortcut, all music files in that folder as well as any subfolders will automatically be included when scanned by GTA.

Run Grand Theft Auto 5.

• Select Self Radio as your radio station.

The game should automatically detect your audio files and add the Self Radiocomplete the following additional steps:

• Open the Pause menu and go to the Settings tab.
• Select Audio.
• Select Perform Quick Scan or Perform Full Scan for music.

Self Radio playback modes

There are three options for listening to your Self Radio station once you've successfully imported your music into GTA V:

• Sequential: Plays the songs in the User Music folder in the order in which they appear.
• Random: Creates a randomized playlist using the audio files in the User Music folder.
• Radio: Creates a randomized playlist using audio files in the User Music folder, as well as inserting Rockstar-created station IDs, DJ banter and advertisements.

By default, you can use the - and = keys on the keyboard to cycle through songs, however this capability is disabled in Radio mode since it's simulating the playback of an on-the-air radio station.
