I did a Google search and found it available on CDs. Didn't look enough to see a download version.

The search also turned up info saying the song was recorded between 1941 and 1942.

It's one I don't have, but will keep an eye out for.

Hunter 04-14-09 12:37 AM

Ok, thanks. So do I since it is one of my best favorite tunes.

I want to thank all the contributors to this post for their help as i have been reading through these posts, it has been a tremendous help. I have downloaded a lot of the music for the gramaphone and im in the process of downloading a couple of the radio stations now and i have installed the RSM mod to get these working as well. I do have a couple questions that have probably simple answers that i just havent caught in reading the forums. First off, i thought i read somewhere that there was a way to "randomise" the music in your gramaphone foler? That would be a huge win for furthur enjoyment of all the great music that i have downloaded.

I forgot my second question....lol im sure it will pop up again soon..

Many thanks to all the people involved with this mod. For me this makes it a "complete" game much more so than any other mod.

Read the paragraph after the 1930s Music in the Other Music section of the very first post in this thread.

Or you can just click the below:

i have installed KOTR radio station (what a monster!!! 62 rar files!!) and have installed it and dumped all my music that was destined for the gramaphone folder into the KOTR folder. Everything seems to be working fine, but i noticed the music seems to be randomised, am i just "hearing" things or does the radio station randomly pick a song to play between programs? I hope this is the case.

Yes, the radio plays music randomly. For some reason the gramophone doesn't.

Thanks for all of the awesome music, news and shows. It makes those long cruises across the pacific much more enjoyable.

I've downloaded these radio stations. I have music downloaded into the station name itself (not the events folder) but I'm hearing nothing.
The radio doesn't stop-even at the Washington station, which worked previously. I suspect the culprit is the radio.ini file. Would anybody be willing to post their radio.ini so I can see what I'm doing wrong?

Here is a MOD that adds all the available radio stations and can be enabled with JSGME. It is just the radio.ini.

Did you paste the channel info before or after the Washington station? It sounds like you pasted it above, which will mess up all the stations. Stations must be in numerical order by their station frequency.

Just wanted to let everyone know that BtS Mods is having server issues at this time. While you can still download, it's a bit slow. Because of the size of my radio and music files, I've been asked not to post them here, so they're only available there. I will post when the issue is resolved.

I have created several radio mods for Silent Hunter 4, as well as seperate music files, divided by year for the WWII era, or by decade for the "oldies." Most music file songs are in mp3 format, some in wav. They can be used with any radio station or the Gramophone.

Most files are in 256MB multi-part RAR format. You MUST download all the parts in order to extract properly!

Radio stations do not include music, only the appropriate news and/or entertainment programs. Except for the KGMB, KOTR, and NHK stations, they are subdivided by year for the music files. While you can control programs in the "Events" folder, you can't control the music. And hearing a song about Iwo Jima in 1942 is just ...wrong. :nope: Except for the KOTR station, only episodes from December 1941 through August 14th, 1945 are used. Not all episodes of a program may be available.

All radio stations include readmes. These contain installation instructions, more information, and the channel info you'll need to copy and paste into the "radio.ini" in order to hear the radio stations.


All files can be downloaded from here:

http://www.bts-mods.com/?page=sh4user=fred8615


Due to a recent virus, I had to reformat my HD.

And of course, I lost all my radio mods.

However, your link is a saver.

But it has a bad point.

Fred, are you aware that the server for BTS-Mods is extremely slow.

Where I work at, I have been able to bring my external HD and plug it in. I was hoping to d/l the files here at work since work has high-speed connection.

However, connecting to bts-mods and trying to d/l part 1 of the AFRS mod, at 11.3 kb/sec, it is going to take 6 hours to d/l just one file.

Are you aware the server is extremely slow?

Armistead 08-09-09 01:52 AM

Strange, I DL'ed the same station a few days ago from the same place, plus two other stations. Obvious large files, but took about 5 minutes at the most per file...At home on simple slow cable.

Hoping I was wrong, I just tried again.

The best I could get was 15.2 KB/sec. Or about 4 hours and 50 minutes to d/l AFRS pt.1.

BTS down for maintenance, but noticed an incorrect link prior
 
Hi all, been around a while, but this is my first ever post - glad to be a part of this fantastic community! I finally have high-speed at my house so now I will be a bit more active for sure. Anyway I see today BTS is down, but yesterday I was downloading some of Fred's wonderful radio mods, and I noticed that the link for More Hawaiian Music actually points to the Japanese Music.rar file. Didn't know if anyone was aware of that. Also regarding speed, I noticed speeds of about 25-30kbs, but I could download multiple files say about 5 at a time with Firefox (downloadhelper) and achieve my max download speed - so effectively speed was not an issue. Again thanks for the great downloads!

Nopileo 08-09-09 12:19 PM

I just dug up SH4 again and found this great mod

Just a few comments to earlier posters here: I also notice that the 'More Hawaiian Music' actually links to More Japanese Music.

The connection speed is very varying, like people say, but I get speeds between about 40-330kb/s (have a 30Mbit in/out connection), so using a download manager like GetRight is very handy for files like these, combined with leaving the PC on to download in peace for the next few nights :yeah:

Anyway, thanks so much for all the time and work probably spent to prepare these great files!

I'm goin' down 08-09-09 01:59 PM

not a good sign
 
A recent attempt to download music files got this notice.

BtS-Mods.com is in maintenance mode until further notice.:wah:

fred8615 08-09-09 07:20 PM

RE: Sandman 28053 - See the post just above yours. :D

As for the other problems reported, the being down completely is brand new. It must've just happened in the last couple of days.

When it does come back, I'll check the Hawaiian music link then. That's one problem with BtS Mods. I don't have any control over the download page. I have to let the mods over there know about the files, and they post them. Apparently wrong in this case.:wah:
