Crew's favourite music
 

Another thread mentioned popular songs for the gramophone folder. My crew love to play the 'Westerwald Lied' every time we have sunk an enemy ship, and they also insist the RO plays it every half-hour or so once I have ordered 'return to base!' I think they like the whistling in the chorus after the choir sings 'Über deine Höhen pfeift der Wind so kalt' ['Over your tops cold wind blows'].

Can anyone remember reading a U-Boat memoir which mentioned the crew's favourite song was "Uncle Eduard from ?????" and if so, does anyone know if that song can be found anywhere, please?

What is your crew's favourites?

Beside the songs of Grey Wolves in the folder, I have a lot of Classic and instrumental music in it.

When I have an Convoy, 5th Sympthony of Beethoven :up: Tudududu duuuuuu
and If I want to keep my crew awake, the Grey Wolves - Bagpipe song:smug:
And when I,m just floating around the ocean..Random...
and dont forget when I leave my base - Das Boot Soundtrack :up:

Das boot is an amazing movie :P And I love the soundtrack. I remember when I was still 4 years old I kept on humming that song and truly felt like I was on a U-boat ^-^.

Aaaah the memories :P

4 years old !!!!
God that makes me feel old now :rotfl:

its a long way to tipperary!

i make sure i play it everytime when i survive to make it home to base.

Oh yes! That is No. 2 in their hit parade after the Westerwald song. :lol:

How do I add music?
 

I apologize for always asking questions but not having any useful tips for all of you (yet). :oops: What is involved with adding music to my folder? I love the GW soundtrack but my crew would like a change of pace at times. I especially would like to add the Das Boot theme - Lars

No apologies necessary, I'm sure.

This is how I add more music:

Go to: Program files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Sound\Gramophon e
Paste any mp3 files you like into there. Then use SH3 Commander v2.6, click on SH3 Options, and on the first page (Career Options) tick the last line: 'Randomise gramophone tracks'.

Mind you, I do not know how to play a certain song/tune at a specific time so, for the likes of 'crew favourites' I have burned a CD with their Top 20 tunes and keep that in my hi-fi when playing the game. Then if I want to hear a special song after sinking a ship I play it from the hi-fi! :88)

My boys always request the music of the 'Comedian Harmonists'. A special favorite is Wochenend und Sonnenschein, a German rendition of Happy Days Are Here Again.

It's one of the huge number of songs on the 'German Hits' collection, available at http://u-boot.realsimulation.com.

Yes! That's another one I burned on to my Top 20 CD. I think it sounds better than any English version I've heard.

Thank you Henry, I'll give it a go
 

Thank you Henry, I'll give it a go. I imagine SH3 Commander v2.6 works well with GW's ?

I am using RUb, but from what I have read SH3 Commander works fine with GWs.

When spirits are up the crew like to listen to Die Jugend Marschiert, reminiscing about young carefree days before the war. Heil Deutschland is a favorite when we're headed home after a successful patrol. And although probably frowned upon, a little Glenn Miller - Moonlight Serenade just sets the mood on those surface night patrols.

I tend not to listen to the gramaphone my engine noise seems to drown it out,normally I'll put a cd into the stereo and listen to it like that.

It took a while, but Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt have become the firm favourite with the crew.

When you can listen to the Hot Club of France, dodging DCs doesn't seem so bad.

OK Himmler doesn't approve of 'degenerate' jazz, but sod him.
