What You Need For Radio Streams
For Radio Streams (IRL Radio Stations): Media Player capable of tuning into direct streams
Recommendation: VLC Media Player
Adding Music To The In Game Radio
In order to ad music to the radio you will need to open the music folder located in your local appdata. you can either hit the open Music Folder in the settings


Or you can open your file browser and go to %localappdata%\PenDriverPro\Custom\Radio

Either way it will open your custom music folder. It Should look like this.


From There you can drop any music file in there as long as its compatible

Compatible File Types Are
- *.mp3
- *.wav
- *.ogg
and for Playlists
- *.m3u
- *.m3u8
--Converting Real Life Radio Stations into Something Usable--
Warning This part may get a little technical, but ill dumb it down as best as i can. there aren't many good ways to do this nowadays.

First find your target stations website.
Don't Worry if its through IHeartRadio or Audacy we can get the link we need.

Retrieving the Stream Link : Independent Stations
Most Independent sites will just have direct link you can click to access the radio stream.


In this Example you would want the Alternate MP3 Stream they offer. just click the link and it'll open in a new tab. The URL of the new link IS what you will need to save for later
Retrieving the Stream Link : IHeartRadio Stations
Unfortunately corporate radio sucks and requires more work than their independent counterparts

From the IHeart Site hit play on your radio station. Sit out the Add and open Inspect Element on your Browser (By Default its F12) and go to the network tab

If You Did Everything Right you should have something Looking Like this

You are looking for entries similar to the ones i marked in red. Click and them and you will get a blob of text like this


Now we are going to throw out 99% of this. we only need the first couple parts of the URL. In Specific as for as I highlighted

The Link you need to save should look like:

https :// n34b-e2 .revma .ihrhls. com/#######

Double Check your link by just popping it into the address bar of your web browser. if you got the right link it should have a little music player you can hit play on and listen to the stream.
Retrieving The Stream Link : Audacy Stations
Congrats You have it much easier than IHeartRadio Listeners.
For the link to whatever Audacy station you want all you need to your local radio stations callsign.

just replace the [CALLSIGN] Portion of the link with the stations Callsign. dont know your stations call sign just google your station's callsign. it should be a string of letters.

WARNING: Stations Callsign must be Insterted in LOWERCASE.

http://live.amperwave.net/direct/audacy-[CALLSIGN]mp3-imc

now double check your audio stream is working by punching your new link into your web browser. if it works you should have a little music player you can press play on.

If it doesn't try adding fm to the end of your stations' call sign and try again
Turning Your Stream Link into What the game can Read
In order to turn your URL into something the game can read we need to convert it into a playlist file. In order to do so you will need your Video/ Audio Player Mentioned at the start of the guide.

The General steps are as follows

Load the stream into your audio player
Then Save your "Playlist" to file

Reminder Said File Needs to be a compatible one so either a .m3u or a .m3u8

For VLC users Its as simple as a couple button presses

Go to Media, Then Open Network Stream, and insert your stream URL. and hit play.


You should hear your radio station start playing

from there hit save playlist to file and save it as either a .m3u or .m3u8 in your custom radio folder mentioned at the start of the guide.

@hoku Couple of ways. Check here https://www.audacy.com/stations/location and see if the station is listed. Same with here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_radio_stations_owned_by_Audacy,_Inc .

From what I can tell from my local talk news station, they'll also have advertisement-like blurbs on air about listening in the Audacy app, much like iheartradio stations have that for their app. I believe those tend to be at the top of the hour? I think they'll also identify that it's an Audacy station.

I FOUND IT OUT for those FEW people who will see this for the iheart radio step you MUST saved only "https :// n34b-e2 .revma .ihrhls. com/#######" so BASICALLY your url that YOU copy should be something like "https://n11b-e2.revma.ihrhls.com/zc6803" (the link works and you can use it, its a 70s rock station) and then you put the link in the VLC media player url audio stream thingy. your link LOOK LIKE " https:// n11be2.revma.ihrhls.com/zc6803" (do not worry if the first part is something like n1be2 as long as it LOOKS similar it should work!)
