Are you tired of listening to WorldWide FM? This guide will show you how to upload and play your MP3 collection in GTA 5.
Music makes everything better. Starting riots in Los Santos can feel more relaxing and soothing when you have Jazz music playing in the background while you beat up a bunch of thugs. Are you driving away from the cops? Put up some rock music to feel the thrill of the car chase.
Whatever it is that you are up to in Los Santos, being able to play your favorite music files can help make completing missions around Los Santos more enjoyable.
Unfortunately, since GTA 5 is almost a decade old, the in-game playlist and radio music might no longer be up to your tastes. We will try to solve that in this guide.
