	A '''custom radio station''' is a user-defined [[:Category:Radio Stations\|radio channel]] that allows the player to play their own music tracks in [[Grand Theft Auto\|GTA games]]. The feature was primarily exclusive to [[Personal Computer\|PC]] versions, initially taking into consideration the ability for PC hard drives to better support user tracks; however, the feature is adopted to a limited scale on two console platforms. The PC port of [[Grand Theft Auto III]] was the first game to include a custom radio station, followed by PC ports of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], as well as the [[Xbox]] version of GTA San Andreas, the [[iPhone/iPod Touch]] version of [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], and the iOS ports of GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas.

	The manner in which custom music is played in the stations varies game by game. In GTA III and GTA Vice City, music tracks will be played in alphabetical order according to their file names and cannot be skipped. GTA San Andreas, however, offers the option of playing the music files in sequential order, on random, or within a rudimentary radio station that only plays commercials between music tracks. Players are also allowed to immediately skip to the next track if the station is not set as a radio station. To ensure recently inserted tracks are sure to be played, GTA San Andreas requires the players "scan" the music folder using the audio options for new music tracks. GTA San Andreas' radio station options are brought over to GTA IV, where a DJ ([[Gary Sheen]]) and imaging voices are added and appears between songs and commercials for the radio station option; players are still required to scan for new music files. The player is also given the addition option to play the previous track. GTA Chinatown Wars' Independence FM simply randomizes music within its playlist.

	GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas have only been known to support .ogg and .mp3 music formats. GTA IV, however, extends file support to include .wma and .wav files. Songs to be played in GTA IV must also be free of any [[wp:Digital rights management\|DRM]] restrictions. When playing a new track in the Xbox version of GTA San Andreas, the HUD specifically mentions the order of the track and the CD number (i.e. CD 14 Track 3).

	In the iOS version of GTA Vice City, the player must create a music playlist on their iOS device named "VICECITY", and add songs to that playlist.

"Tape Deck" is ~~to the right of~~ [[Wave 103]]. GTA San Andreas follows the same principle, except that the playlist this time is named "GTASA" and the custom radio station is titled "MIXTAPE".
