Inserting custom music into the stations consists simply of placing music files into a designated folder. Initially, GTA III and GTA Vice City requires the user place music files in the "<code>mp3</code>" folder located within the primary game folder (i.e. <code>Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto III\mp3</code>). For GTA San Andreas, music files may be placed in a "<code>User Tracks</code>" folder, located in its GTA "User Files" folders within My Documents. GTA IV follows GTA San Andreas' system, designating a "<code>User Music</code>" folder in its My Documents "User Files" folder for custom music. | Inserting custom music into the stations consists simply of placing music files into a designated folder.

The manner in which custom music is played in the stations varies game by game. In GTA III and GTA Vice City, music tracks will be played in alphabetical order according to their file names and cannot be skipped. GTA San Andreas, however, offers the option of playing the music files in sequential order, on random, or within a rudimentary radio station that only plays commercials between music tracks. Players are also allowed to immediately skip to the next track if the station is not set as a radio station. To ensure recently inserted tracks are sure to be played, GTA San Andreas requires the players "scan" the music folder using the audio options for new music tracks. GTA San Andreas' radio station options are brought over to GTA IV, where a DJ ([[Gary Sheen]]) and imaging voices are added and appears between songs and commercials for the radio station option; players are still required to scan for new music files. The player is also given the addition option to play the previous track. GTA Chinatown Wars' Independence FM simply randomizes music within its playlist. | The manner in which custom music is played in the stations varies game by game.
