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 | 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 station assumes various names, becoming increasingly immersed in the games' settings in the years since GTA III. First known as the "'''MP3 Player'''" in GTA III and GTA Vice City, the station was renamed as "'''User Track Player'''" in GTA San Andreas, followed by "'''[[Independence FM]]'''" in GTA IV and GTA Chinatown Wars. | The station assumes various names, becoming increasingly immersed in the games' settings in the years since GTA III.

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). | GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas have only been known to support .ogg and .mp3 music formats.

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. After that's been done, they must start up the game, be in any normal vehicle, and keep changing the radio station until they reach the custom radio station, now titled "Tape Deck". "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". | |||
