Hey guys,

The manual says that Independence FM supports .M4A music files, so I put a bunch of my ripped music into the appropriate folder--.M4As since I ripped them like a decade ago with winamp--and they play, but they play at a very fast speed. Like when you play a 33 record at 45 speed.

The MP3s I put in the appropriate music folder work correctly.

Is it a codec problem since they're old files? They play fine with VLC.

I use ITunes, and Independence work just fine for me...
I just copied (ore you can make shortcut to your music files)
Not sure why you cant make it work sorry

You need quicktime/iTunes to get m4a ingame.
MP3,WMA works without any extra codecs/software , but for M4A you need quicktime/iTunes.(as far as i remember it is also on the last page of user manual)

They play.

They play at a very fast speed.

Like a 33 record being played at 45.

Is there a limit to how many mp3 files you can have in the interpendant radio?

I have over 5000 music files in that directory and they play beautifuly plus i havent heard the same song twice yet, and i am almost done with the game, well the first time through that is, i cant wait to play it again heh....

*cough*

Just tried it, got the same results, but fixed it in a really odd and simple way.

Once in a car, select Independence FM. It'll start playing faster than normal. What I did at this point was enter the pause menu, go to Audio, and manually scroll away from Independence FM and then back to it 2 times. On the second time I came back to Independence, it started playing like normal. It was weird, but that's how I got it to work.

You may want to try the same, see how it fares for you. You'll have to do it every time you open up the game, though.
