Step 1: Get an MP3 file
Obviously, to play the music you'll need an MP3 file (as far as I know, Vice City does not support mp4 files). If you already have one, then just ignore this section. If you don't have an MP3 file and would like to know how to get one, then read on. You can get MP3 files from just about everywhere on the internet, but I find that the best place is through youtube.

There are many useful Youtube to MP3 sites out there, which usually take seconds to download.

Here[www.youtube-mp3.org] is the one I use. All you need to do is:

1. Find the Youtube video you want
2. Copy the URL at the top
3. Paste it onto the text area above "convert video" on the site I mentioned
4. Click convert video
5. Save your file

But like I said, there are tons of other ways of obtaining an MP3 file: this is just the way I use.
Step 2: Place the file in your Vice City mp3 folder
Once you have your MP3 folder, open your documents and place it in the following area:

C:/Program Files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/Grand Theft Auto Vice City/mp3 (place it anywhere in the mp3 folder).

Step 3: Enjoy your music
If everything worked well, there should be a new radio station after Wave 103 titled "MP3 Player". You can now listen to your tunes on the in-game radio!


For Grand Theft Auto 3, it's the same as this except instead of opening your Grand Theft Auto Vice City folder, you need to open up your Grand Theft Auto 3 folder.

Hope this helps.

Yes the mp3 folder IS where the music go...and you can place 'BEAT IT.MP3" IN THE mp3 folder or [short cut] to beatit.mp3

For me the SHORT CUTS TO THE MUSIC... AND IT MUST BE IN MP3 FORMAT. ITS BEST TO SEARCH YOUR ENTIRE DRIVE FOR ALL MUSIC AND CONVERT TO MP3. AND AND ANY OTHER MUSIC YOU R DL save as mp3

For the guy who's out of space
move your music to the mp3 folder and make a shortcut of them.
