Auto-Convert music folders into stations
Latest version here: https://files.dumpsterbabyinc.com/vradioauto

This tutorial is helpful if you get stuck: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1419487677/1727575977542434603/

Download and extract the mp3_to_vradio_lua program[files.dumpsterbabyinc.com]

Optionally download this template[files.dumpsterbabyinc.com] and skip this next part
Create a new folder in: common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons -This will be the addon "root" folder Create: "lua/vradio/stations" in the root folder -Here's where the .lua file goes Create: "sound/vehicles_radio" in the root -Where you'll put all your music (.mp3s) Create: "materials/gui/vehicles_radio_icons" in the root -This is for the in-game icon

Once you have moved your music into "sound/vehicles_radio/" click and drag that (vehicles_radio) folder onto "mp3_to_vradio_lua.exe" Wait until the CMD window says "Done, press enter to continue..." Finally move the "vradio_auto.lua" file to "lua/vradio/stations/" -make sure to rename it to something unique

Then to add a in game icon create a .png that's 512 x 512 pixels and copy it to "materials/gui/vehicles_radio_icons/" Next copy that file path into the .lua script using a normal text editor look for something near the top like: ['icon'] = "gui/vehicles_radio_icons/example_icon.png" -- icon

workaround if uploading to workshop fails (having uppercase letters in the .mp3 file path)

You can use this utility, but how to use it that's another topic, for google:
