Hi!
We replaced some of the German-language songs for GWX V2.0 because we we reconsidered whether we should include songs that were illegal under
§86 and §86.a of German criminal law, in that they glorified Hitler or Nazi Party luminaries such as Horst Wessel; other songs were dropped because they were composed after the war.
We replaced most of these with popular jazz or swing recordings made through 1941, or in Germany through the end of the war, based on historical sources that commented on the popularity of these recording with U-boat crews. There were a few exceptions, such as the addition of "
J'attendrai" (which was featured in
Das Boot), and our replacement of the post-war Red Army Chorus version of "It's a long way to Tipperary" (sung partly in Russian) with a recording from 1915 sung entirely in English. We also added Marlene Dietrich singing a couple of s
ongs in German ("Lili Marlen'" and "Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt"), even though she was a fervent anti-Nazi and her recordings and films were banned in Nazi Germany.
We didn't add a lot of songs because the GWX 2.0 download was pretty big already, but please let me know if there are some period German-language recordings that you'd like to see included in any future release of GWX and we'll see what we can do.
For the moment, if you want to make your gramophone recordings compatible with JSGME then you should move all your new *.ogg files out of the /Gramophone folder where they now reside and put them in a new "/SH3/MODS/New Gramophone Recordings/data/Sound/Gramophone" folder, and then activate the "New Gramophone Recordings" mod (that you just created) via JSGME. For details, your best bet is to review the JSGME documentation.
Hope this helps!
