SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Adding date appropriate music to Gramaphone with SH3 Commander 2.7?

Can anybody tell me how to do this?

I have 250 or so .ogg files from some of the various gramaphone packs that are around. I have converted all the .mp3 files to .ogg files to avoid skipping, incomplete play, etc.

Some of these songs are from the pre-war years, others are songs that were released in 1940, 1940, etc., all the way to 1945.

I culled all post-war songs, or covers by post-war artists. IE, no Bobby Darin, no "Victory At Sea", etc. Nothing kills the immersion for me than the gramaphone playing something from the post-war years!

Now, knowing the year (or in some cases, even the months these songs were popular), how can I add them to SH3Commander so they get randomized, and nothing from the future shows up in the playlist for a mission?

Is this even possible to do in SH3 Commander? I am quite willing to rename the files as needed for randomization, create whatever folders are needed, etc.

Thanks for any help you all can provide!
