adding gramaphone music
 

Can somebody tell me how to add my music to the gramaphone. I need step by step directions. Please help

Place your .wav files into the gramaphone folder located in Sound folder.

The path in your root directory of SH4 is Data/Sound/Gramaphone

gramaphone
 

I copied & pasted the music files into the gramaphone & they do not play in the game. they are mp3 files

They need to be .wav files dude.;)

@thehiredgun

They can also be .ogg files or mp3s', however some types of mp3s' don't work , mpeg type comes to mind. Check by right-clicking and viewing properties, sounds like you may have those.

You may want to get an audio converter, lot's of free ones on the internet.

@Archie, Welcome to subsim:up:, from what I understand, .wav are probably one of the more stable formats, however I have used mp3s' as well.

I'm also having trouble using my own Gramaphone music
 

I'm also having trouble with using my own music in the Gramaphone. I've converted some Glenn Miller to .wav files, but they don't play in SH4. However, they play fine with MS Media player. Likewise, I tried using MP3 files that played fine in SH3. However, they don't play on the SH4 gramaphone. Is there a fix for this?

Strange ^^^:hmm: I have only had problems with mpegs (mp3's) All other mp3's and .wavs have worked fine.

Maybe somebody else here has something to offer.

Are they in stereo mode? Perhaps they need to be in mono.

Bumping this thread... I can't hear gramophone. I have wave files in the correct Sound/gramaphone folder. Any ideas?

check that your music volume isn't turned right down. i did this myself and i couldn't hear anything from the grammerphone. mainly cause the title music is annoying.

also am i the only one who plays Classical stuff on my sub?

No, there are at least two of us. I have select parts of Holst's Planets Suite and two of Tchaikovsky's ballets (Nutcracker and Swan Lake). Soon I'll have Sleeping Beauty in there, too.:rock:

I prefer newer stuff. I leave Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden for when I'm not simming. Oh wait, that's not the kind of "Classical" you meant, was it? :D

I can see a battle while Kashmir plays.:yep:

don't get me wrong i've sank DD's to Pantera but for the soothing work as i glide through the water i like a bit of romantic in there, perhaps a dash of early classical? ahh the joy of a rossini, or a bit of strauss or mendelssohn of course some tchaikovsky and korsakov doesn't go amiss either.

hehe

I always thought destroying things to Delibe's wonderfully lyrical Flower Duet was the most amazing thing ever. :up:
