This mod utilizes a system that bypasses the standard loot distribution. This is mostly because of the scale of the project; adding over a thousand items to loot tables in the world will invariably crowd all of those loot tables with only my items. It also helps to clear duplicates from the drop tables in the case that you have overlapping tracklists.

Instead, this system adds only two items to the distribution for music; Unidentified Cassettes and Unidentified Vinyls. Under most circumstances, a player will never see these items; instead, the code replaces these items with a number of their respective music items. This affords us direct control over how many and how often these music items spawn.

This system assigns all True Music items one of two new display categories: "Cassette" and "Vinyl". Then, when the game decides what cassette or vinyl to spawn in place of a blank, it will choose any items that have the correct category.

In addition to adding them to standard pools, this mod also adds tracks from other mods to its four special loot boxes (referred to as caches usually), Motherlodes, Hoards, Boxes and Stacks of music.

These very rare caches can contain either 150, 50, 25 or 10 of their respective item, without duplicates usually. Duplicates may only occur if you have multiple True Music mods installed that have the same tracks with slightly different titles (since exact matches are removed from the pool), which results in some songs becoming more common than others. Different tiers may also have other items, such as Earbuds, music players or Cassette Bags.

Some of MFTEOTW's traits will enable you to get more items when you open one of these, or even items they wouldn't normally drop.
