I cannot get my custom music to work. I've tried to rename my Mp3's, switched to the default music player <eek> without any success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [wink]
Custom Music
- Thread starter diamonddave
- Start date
I'm wondering if there's some specific bit rate for the music to be at. I got the music to show up on my drop down but half the time the audio doesn't play or plays for a few seconds before it blips out, sometimes cutting out the normal sounds the ride would be making.
I didn't think mp3's were supported, what did the stream say? there were 2 formats?
Maybe mp3's are and I didn't pay attention but I'll try and find the stream.
Not working here, too.
Tried 192kbit/s and 320kbit/s .mp3, none of them are playing. (none of 117 .mp3-files)
I assume something is broken?
They actually showed a .MP3 in the stream, and said that .ogg also works.

"you can add any music to your ride, if it is Mp3 or .ogg"

Now I know this is obvious, but I'll still ask ok.....you are putting your mp3s/ogg files here?

I'm going to bed so I can't test it, but also check if your bitrate is vbr or cbr meaning variable or constant bitrate. So far my mp3's are working, but can't check right now. I know some of them had higher or lower bitrate. Also no problems with extreme big mp3 files that play for an hour.
So far testing a .ogg file on one of my rides (one of the MP3s that was not working) and so far it's been working like a charm. Gonna do some further testing on other rides and in-park speakers with other files..
Update 1 - Tried a few .Ogg files (you can convert using Audacity (freeware software) on my Larson looper ride and has been working.
Update 2 - Park speakers also like .Ogg.
With this said I'd honestly stick with this format for the time being.

Somehow, I like to believe this feature is fully implemented in the game. Or it may be a glaring bug. I hope this gets sorted a.s.a.p. Thanks for the suggestions. [happy]

Hey everyone...
Of all people this could happen to...i was one of them, how ironic
When you put your mp3's in the folder does the game list them? (Are you able to select them?)
In my case i am able to select them, but it just keeps being silent then. So for one or another reason it won't play the mp3.
A workaround for me has been to convert the mp3 into a .ogg file (there is free software out there that can help you with this).
If the same workaround works for you guys as well then it might be easyer for Frontier devs to narrow down the problem and make it more easy to fix it
And ofcourse it's worth trying so you can all enjoy this wonderfull feature

I am able to select my files, but as you pointed out, I get no sound whatsoever. I downloaded the program, but it seemed to difficult for me to understand.[haha]

Add me on steam (or even better come to the discord chat) and i can try to talk you trough it. Its really easy.
And if ogg does work indeed, we might be doing Frontier a favor by narrowing down the problem.

Vampiro: Can you post a DXDiag so we can get a better idea of your system configuration.
