Fix the compatibility issue [Maybe] \/
Think I've figured out why your mod isn't working with other True Music Addons. Assuming TCGLoadingTCBoombox.lua is the lua file that affects spawn rates. Most mods have theirs set to 0.1-0.7 or at a minimum of 0.01 which I checked from 3 different addons excluding yours where as yours is 0.0001-0.0002. Which would also explain why me and my friend find other addon Cassettes everywhere. Your Vinyl Distribution also a lot lower as well 0.001-0.1 on the other Addons I checked compared to yours at 0.00008-0.0002. The only odd thing is your mod is the only one out of the collective 4 that includes vehicle distribution and yet we have found 0 cassettes in cars. I do enjoy this mod especially due to it having almost 800 songs last time I checked and I wish it worked with Addons so hopefully this discussion might help if anyone wants to jump on...

Edit: The Vietnam Music collection we have also has Vehicle Distribution and has yet to spawn cassettes in vehicles so I assume its either the 0.001 spawn rate its using or its because we have no Vanilla Vehicles.

It has to be at 0.0001 or else you will find dozens of casettes in almost all storages lol, I've tested and these settings were the best spawnrates I could get it to. Sadly this is due to the large song list, the more songs the more item spawns so you have to counter that with lower spawn rates.

Yea I figured. Due to the others having 0.01 as a spawn rate in certain containers we tend to find a plethora of cassettes. I'm just stating the difference with your spawn rates to others may be why yours dont spawn alongside other addons. I'm hoping others may join in on the discussion in case spawn rates aren't the issue and/or have an easier work around than having to edit your or other addon spawn rates.

You can make your own addons (very easy) and edit the spawn rates to be equal to that of 1909-1993 addons spawn rates. Now that this addon has over 1500 songs and if your own addon has like 100 songs or so, means that you wont see your own songs that much but it still has a chance to spawn. I recommend using Deemix to download the songs you want to be added, made my life so much easier when it comes to getting those mp3 files, you can even download songs from Spotify, which means that the band and song names will be correct, unlike if you convert stuff from youtube for example, the song might be missing the bands name(depending on the title of the upload) and you'd have to edit that manually through files, also Spotify will provide you with a better audio quality in some cases.

I use a mixture of Deezloader on Telegram and Soulseek personally and fix tagging and coverarts using mp3tag, a lot of work is done to get the correct files.
Hell I even adjust the volume and even trim off silent parts of some tracks in audacity because old songs were very quiet sometimes or had very weird 2 seconds of silence at the beginning of the recording lol.
