@ForestNinja0Thanks for the information. I'm off to fix some of my bad mp3s as I type. However, I'm not sure that this is the issue experienced in this particular thread. Everyone in this thread is saying that the venue speakers won't play custom music, while the home radios will. If the game could not read these mp3s due to null information, they wouldn't be playable at all, correct?
Custom music now plays as expected on all venue speakers!
- Local DJs rejoice as they are once again free to play their music selections for all Sim-kind. Avant-garde, the Ballads, and Calypso… the Xoomii, Yodeling, and Zydeco! Styles to suit the needs of all playing issue free!
This was addressed in Patch 1.17.7
Before marking it as fixed, I'd like to take feedback if this is fully or partially fixed
I placed mp3s in Romance folder and the Sim Retro folder. Neither are playing the custom mp3s on the venue speakers. The songs, as before, play on home stereos, but still do not play on the venue speakers. It doesn't appear to be fixed. Would be interested if they work for anyone else. Also, is this Baroque station new? I have never noticed it until the patch.
Do ANY of the folders work ?
I've seen Baroque before, yes. Can't say when it was added though. Maybe GT ?
It seems to be all folders and venue speakers. I tested almost all the other venue folders/speakers and used different mp3s as well in the folders. No sound from custom folders via venue speakers.
And the same music works on the other stereos, right ?
Guess I need to give this a try myself to get more data
This isn't fixed @crinrict , at least not in an existing save, using the Pop venue speaker. I only have one Pop piece of custom music in the game, so it's all I could test. Too late tonight for me to try and start a new game to test but I will try over the weekend.
I had residential wall speakers on a community lot. I changed them out to a Pop venue speaker. At first I left all Pop music checked to be sure they were working, for several trips to the lot. When they were, I unchecked all but my custom music song. When I sent the sim back to the lot yet again, no sound came from the speaker although the musical notes showed. I then put the residential wall speakers back onto the lot, leaving only the one Pop song checked. When I sent the sim to the lot, the song was playing just fine, no problem.
Still have vanilla game.
ETA: I forgot to mention that even though this game was an existing save, I had deleted localthumbcache.package and the slot 1 auto-save files before playing.
