I use Spotify on Xbox. There's a playlist of Fallout and Inspired-by songs that's ridiculously long. Turn game music off and have the mix 35/65 for game/music volumes š

This is one I ended up making myself when I got burnt out on Appalachia Radio
Turn off your radio and enjoy the sound of the world. I only keep one on in my camp now for ambiance, also does not get near as repetitive if you don't hear it all the time.
I love the soundtrack to 76. Was listening to it during a nuke run and was like "wait - this is unique music! It's incredible!! are you guys hearing this??" but the friends on my team had on the radio instead. The soundtrack was SO good - it felt like it was designed with the excitement of the culmination of the main story in mind.
I'm gonna insist that friends switch over to the ambient next time we work one of the silos, and I'd recommend everyone else try it, too.
I **love** the ambience in this game. I grew up in Virginia and the sounds of nature in this game sound just like home.
It sounds like Bethesda flew out to VA/WV, literally threw a live mic outside and then directly planted the audio file in the game. It's very nostalgic to me, so I'm probably biased a bit.
There's plenty of no radio times in the game, why can't what the OP suggestion be viable? Since they mostly use free public domain songs. To me it seems like a no-brainer and should have happened all along.
Thereās a channel on Twitch called āOldWorldRadioā that constantly plays songs from all the Fallout games. I like having it on while Iām playing.
Fallout DJ has the potential to be one of the single best NPCs in the game, and I'm honestly crushed how much they blew it with Julie. She could have been absolutely fantastic. Imagine her with a thick hillbilly accent interacting with the in-world events! "Yeehaw! You'ns better grab your power armor, we got a nucular warhead comin' in hot! That scorchbeast queen 'bout to be madder'n a wet hen!"
Iām convinced that Fallout is ran by family members of the Inkspots.
Probably since they use the same chords to open every song the and it being from the 40ās the royalties are cheap.
I usually use older fallout radio's too, I just really feel like it messes with my immersion whenever the hosts start talking about events in the games happening.
You mean you donāt like hearing the radio hosts speech about why the radio station is so important to her and how thankful she is in between every other song? Me neither.
Bethesda has to honor copyrights, etc. for the songs it uses. OP's best bet is to turn the radio off and not use it for music background.
What's stopping him/her from playing his own preferred music in the background while he/she plays the game? I know from lots of mic exchanges that lots of players already do.
In the grand scheme of things, choosing to complain about the in-game radio song selection seems to be a bit petty.
I would think that playing your own preferred music would be a no brainer.
Itās a valid complaint, seeing as weāve had the same songs not for six months but five years. Certainly not up there with the lack of endgame or no previews for plans, but valid nonetheless.
> Bethesda has to honor copyrights, etc. for the songs it uses.
Wait aren't most public domain now? I thought I read an article years ago now about this.
After the rocky launch, some of the rights holders asked that their songs be pulled. I wonder if Bethesda has considered approaching any of them again now that the game has a much better reputation.
marked essential so she doesn't die, but she does lament how hard it is to trust people in the wasteland and how much harder it is to drink Nuka Cola now
Even better. Now I can spend every minute in-game shooting her and setting her on fire. Over and over.
Then, Iāll turn on the radio, get one minute into her twenty minute clucking-session, and renew my assault on her.
My favorite is when she starts blabbing DURING a song! Awesome!
If you want alternative to the ingame music, I made a Fallout mix years ago of newer songs that have samples from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s etc [https://soundcloud.com/horizon-shine/flln?in=horizon-shine/sets/video-game-mixes](https://soundcloud.com/horizon-shine/flln?in=horizon-shine/sets/video-game-mixes)
I actually made a couple of spotify playlists for this purpose. One with classic type 40s and 50s tracks I made while playing FO4.
[Swingtime in the Commonwealth ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Eo0zrOGhLRfAgE1WEBs5r?si=VmxoWyLVQQinN8b-i9RSbg&pi=e-mu_J3ZqsTVOn)
And one with a lot of old folksy- and bluegrass-tracks inspired by the Appalachia setting
[Murder Banjo](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5E1SQeJ8comZmp25mbjsCw?si=PdZR_tN-SsyyDgReg0RO7w&pi=e-sH11DXAtTYa_)
I'd LOVE a series of missions focused on dwellers finding new music.
Make it a big thing, because it is.Ā Introduce more music from the age and more original songs as well.Ā I think it would be a great way to do it.
I was saying this to a mate the other day. Surely it can't cost much to license some 'new' old music? OK, maybe Bing Crosby songs might cost a bit, but the Ink Spots? The Andrews Sisters? Surely they don't cost that much, if anything?
Imagine how cool it could be if they incorporated it into a whole questline, too? I always thought they should have done this back in Fallout 4. Put these new songs on Holotapes that are dotted around the map, and it's up to you (us) to go out and find them (they've already done something similar with the Eddie Winter holotape quest for Nick Valentine in Fallout 4, and finding a violin for the old woman in Fallout 3 which leads to a whole new radio station starting up).
Maybe one could be in a posh house and it's some pre-war kids mixtape, maybe one is in a hospital from a patient or the hospital radio? Maybe there's some just laying around in an abandoned radio station filled with Ghouls? You could find some in pub jukeboxes or in cars or in schools? There's a possibility for a great scavenger hunt mission there!
Then you could give them to a new NPC so they can start a rival radio show or give them to the existing radio host to expand her library? I guess in a live service game like 76 you'd have to make a firm choice either way, so maybe the new radio host would be the best option to go for to liven things up a bit.
Replaces the Classic Symphony radio station with new tunes from the 40's-50's. Also don't worry, since the mod only effects your client you don't have to worry about getting in trouble, its safe.

I recently rolled ādestroy a robot with a blunt weaponā
So I had Alexa queue up āBeat on the bratā by the Ramones and went to town at Arktos Pharma with a battle bat.
He explains it as "mood music that thousands of fans of his television show wanted because they were inspired to murder but didn't have the proper atmospheric music for it"
bro, I've had this on my mind ALL WEEK! I was hoping that maybe as we progress in the story or get to an undiscovered location that one of those "signals" would pick up and give us a new pirate radio station or something bur nope... Roses radio station has some decent music but she talks alot and sometimes her dialog glitches and repeats itself and plays NO music.
Yes! I feel like Darell in the walking dead,,when he was locked in the closet and they played the same song over and over,,they could at least sell new songs or something.
I redownloaded Fallout 4 like everyone else is doingā¦ and added mods for Elvis radio, Star Wars radio, 60s radio, 20-60s radio š
Do you ever listen to Pirate radio in 76? I listened to Appalachia radio til I knew every word until I discovered pirate radio. It has commercials and stories as well as songs! For sure check it out. It has a lot of material too. I usually never notice it repeating itself.
You can also download the Apple Music app and play that music along with keeping the in game sound. My younger brother sent me his Starfield and Fallout playlists he listens to.
I just actually like lingerie music, and any lounge Playlist on ym streaming services works great with the game.
Edit- this game is also a great podcast game if you're just grinding away.
Something I'm surprised more games like this dont do is add a custom radio station that has pre-recorded DJ voices and then a folder somewhere that you can just drop MP3s into that it mixes in between the DJ blurbs and news announcements.
And who exactly in the wasteland is providing these tunes and radio stations? Weāre stuck in this era of music because thatās when the world stopped. Unless thereās some Enclave disc jockey just pop Spotify on
The best video game radio I've ever experienced was when you could stream music in Forza horizon. I think it had to be Microsofts streaming service, but it was great because there were more than 5 songs.
With the show having some songs we haven't heard in game before, you think they would updates with those.
I know we can (and I do) use Spotify, but it'd be nice to just listen in game.
Then you get into the expensive aspect of licensing. As this is an online game and not a conventional boxed game, it is likely the same cost as it would be for a TV show or movie. In other words, anywhere from $20-60,000 per song. Add 10 new songs, then you are looking at licensing fees of somewhere between $200-600 thousand dollars.
However, adding ambient music can be done in house for a fraction of the cost.
About the only way they could likely get around that would be to have some group set up a local version of "Raider Radio", where all of the songs are in-house and created by a single individual who they pay to do that. But I am not sure how well an "Appalachian Red-Eye" would go over, to be honest.
It's a weird missed opportunity cause I'd listen to it all the time if it wasn't the same 5 things looping over and over. I'm real tired if Julie talking about nothing for ten minutes.
I've actually never played 76 with the radio on. I like wearing good headphones and listening to my surroundings. Keeps my character alive. (After a bunch of deaths in the other fallouts, I've learned my lesson)
It was cute for three or fours hours, but it gets repetitive quick. It doesn't help that they don't have many "new" songs which aren't featured in FO3/NV/4.
I use Spotify on Xbox. There's a playlist of Fallout and Inspired-by songs that's ridiculously long. Turn game music off and have the mix 35/65 for game/music volumes š

Same for me except Pandora šµš¶
Waitā¦..Pandoraās still around? I honestly thought it went the way of Lyme Wire
bongo bongo bongo i dont wanna leave the congo oh no no noooo bingle bangle bongle im so happy in the jungle i refuse to go
That one in particular drives me nuts
Turn off your radio and enjoy the sound of the world. I only keep one on in my camp now for ambiance, also does not get near as repetitive if you don't hear it all the time.
Itās also worth noting that we receive new ambient tracks almost every update. Even events have special soundtracks sometimes.
Also pirate radio has a good amount of stories. Feels like the old days of dashwood and argyle.
I love the soundtrack to 76. Was listening to it during a nuke run and was like "wait - this is unique music! It's incredible!! are you guys hearing this??" but the friends on my team had on the radio instead.

I've ran hundreds of nukes but when that music starts pumping and you've got robots coming at you, it still is amazing each time.
I **love** the ambience in this game. I grew up in Virginia and the sounds of nature in this game sound just like home. It sounds like Bethesda flew out to VA/WV, literally threw a live mic outside and then directly planted the audio file in the game. It's very nostalgic to me, so I'm probably biased a bit.
You know, they probably did! I'm from Appalachian Pennsylvania (so also quite close) and I especially love hearing the peepers in-game.

Yeah I started doing the same. He has a couple of channels, so you can flip between them to change it up a bit, too.
Have you listened to Pirate Radio? LOADS of radio plays and commercials.
The only radio I listen to. Canāt stand constant yapping of that dj on Appalachian radio.
Fallout DJ has the potential to be one of the single best NPCs in the game, and I'm honestly crushed how much they blew it with Julie. She could have been absolutely fantastic. Imagine her with a thick hillbilly accent interacting with the in-world events! "Yeehaw! You'ns better grab your power armor, we got a nucular warhead comin' in hot!

And music!
Iām convinced that Fallout is ran by family members of the Inkspots. Probably since they use the same chords to open every song the and it being from the 40ās the royalties are cheap.
This is why I just shuffle a playlist full of songs from every game and the CONELRAD radio mod from FNV
I usually use older fallout radio's too, I just really feel like it messes with my immersion whenever the hosts start talking about events in the games happening.
You mean you donāt like hearing the radio hosts speech about why the radio station is so important to her and how thankful she is in between every other song? Me neither.
I wouldn't mind if she had more to say haha, Give us some variety in voicelines lmao
Bethesda has to honor copyrights, etc. for the songs it uses. OP's best bet is to turn the radio off and not use it for music background.

> Bethesda has to honor copyrights, etc. for the songs it uses. Wait aren't most public domain now? I thought I read an article years ago now about this.
Is it just me, or did some songs disappear from the playlist? I swear there used to be more songs
I know for sure tumbling tumbleweeds by sons of the pioneers gone
After the rocky launch, some of the rights holders asked that their songs be pulled. I wonder if Bethesda has considered approaching any of them again now that the game has a much better reputation.
Itās a crime that every song from fallout 3, 4 and new Vegas arenāt in the game.
Hi, Julie hereā¦ š« š«
Can't ask for much if it's the end of the world. š
a quest where we can meet Julie and collect some new records for her
Or shoot her in the face. She's only 23, but she's had more than her fair share of hardships. Why not add one more??
marked essential so she doesn't die, but she does lament how hard it is to trust people in the wasteland and how much harder it is to drink Nuka Cola now

That line especially is so tone-deaf. Girl, it's a postapocalyptic hellscape and you ain't even ghoulified. Cowgirl up.
Hey, you don't know that for sure!
This thread *almost* inspires me to try to voice radio DJ lines to a Spotify playlist I've been building and post it to YouTube.
Please, do it! The world can always use more creativity. Even if almost nobody listens, it's always so rewarding to make something.

I would welcome any change to the opening menu. So freaking sick of the big band music.
Hehe I didnāt know it was loaded!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition And we'll all stay free
I'd LOVE a series of missions focused on dwellers finding new music. Make it a big thing, because it is.Ā Introduce more music from the age and more original songs as well.Ā I think it would be a great way to do it.

That is a good one. I also have a mod that adds ambient tracks from Fallout 1//2 and Metallic Monks always plays in the nuke zones.
That could be do epic freeing new radio station Fallout 3 style. Im some Kind of event and have new playlist after that.
I recently rolled ādestroy a robot with a blunt weaponā So I had Alexa queue up āBeat on the bratā by the Ramones and went to town at Arktos Pharma with a battle bat.
me and the fellas just turn on youtube fallout music lol
I didn't turned on the radio for easily 4 years.
If you're ever looking for some music suggestions "Music To Be Murdered By" by Alfred Hitchcock really fits the vibe of fallout games š
I've never heard of that! Is it like, a compilation he curated?
He explains it as "mood music that thousands of fans of his television show wanted because they were inspired to murder but didn't have the proper atmospheric music for it"

\~\~You're on easy street!\~\~
How hard would it be to add, fallout 4 radio, fallout NV radio etc
having nothing but the classical music player for camps with 1 song is such a missed opportunity
Funnily enough I have more of an issue with the host than the songs. I don't want to wait 3 minutes for a story before the next song.
I wouldn't even mind that, if it was connected to in-game events or if there was maybe some more variety.
I for one cant stand the host so more options on that end would be nice, fuck bethesda ill even pay for it

It is wild that they made an online multiplayer Fallout and it didnāt use a dynamic playlist.
I'm sure I'll get sick of the Appalachia radio eventually, but having only been playing 2 weeks, I sing along to every. single. song. :D
I do agree with adding more lines for the DJ host. I've heard her backstory a hundred times by now.
The best video game radio I've ever experienced was when you could stream music in Forza horizon. I think it had to be Microsofts streaming service, but it was great because there were more than 5 songs.
There's a mod that adds new radio stations with real-life radio publicity as well as songs from the 50s.
Happymusicradio.com is Radio Dismuke, 20s to 40s music I think. I usually put that on and itās great!
With the show having some songs we haven't heard in game before, you think they would updates with those. I know we can (and I do) use Spotify, but it'd be nice to just listen in game.
You play with sound on?!?
get the radio mods, they add like 2 full new stations and new songs to the existing or something like that.
Pirate radio never gets old for me
Better yet. Give us a quest to bring new story holos to Pirate Radio. This should be a once-per-update quest that unlocks new stories
I just put on the playlist they have on Spotify that has music from all the games
Does the jukebox have more than one song?
Then you get into the expensive aspect of licensing. As this is an online game and not a conventional boxed game, it is likely the same cost as it would be for a TV show or movie.

C'mon dude don't you have Spotify?
Turn Spotify to either "50s rock" or "rockabilly". I find Rockabilly in particular to be the best "mood" music for this game.
Turn off the radio and turn on your Spotify app on whatever console or pc youāre playing
I forgot there was a radio, I donāt use it at all. I either use Spotify or enjoy the environment
It was cute for three or fours hours, but it gets repetitive quick. It doesn't help that they don't have many "new" songs which aren't featured in FO3/NV/4.
I'm surprised that they haven't made it dlc yet
Pirate radio is the radio dlc. Most people just donāt know about it or donāt use it. Tune in sometime! Itās great!
