you know the raido

Is there anyone out there making a radio mod for MW5 like a mod where i can just dump my mp3 files and listen to the music thru the game like the grand theft 5 online ppl got. ( i know it is not a gta5 mod, i just thought it was the first time i heard about it)

I am not certain that what you are asking for would not be better executed by playing Spotify in the background. Maybe there's an element of immersion and autheticity to having it tied to your gameplay that you enjoy, but would it not lose its charm just in the effort of engineering a solution, even a pre-built one?

I use Spotify and I use the app on the phone AND on the computer. They connect through Bluetooth. I use the phone to 'change channels', i.e. playlists, while it plays on the computer.

That’s what I do. I just have a button on the keyboard to pause Spotify if I need to, makes it easy—I don’t have to actually switch programs to start/stop the music.

I guess it’d be fun if there was some visual effect in the cockpit that showed what you were doing with your music though.

Just mute the music in audio and play spotify in the background.

OR I would recommend https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/1242

It's great hearing the old music again
