(no I'm not making another video, this is still the best)
UPDATE V6.0
INSTALLATION Since v6.0 it is no longer necessary to completely remove the previous version of Old World Radio and make a clean save before installing the new version as long as you update the mod from v5.01. Make sure you remove any separate radio mods of Old World Radio though like for example the standalone version of Nuka-World Radio (The Nuka-Cola Broadcast System) since these are now included in the full version (all 29 radio stations). If you instead want to install radio stations separately you should download those stations from the standalone mod pages of the radios.
Old World Radio - Boston manual CK version is completely without loose files and is for manual installation only. Do not use this version with NMM! Optional features in separate esp's with content packed in ba2 files.
Old World Radio - Boston v6.0 patch will be uploaded as a 2GB patch for those who want to update from v5.01 and don't want to download the whole package again.

You probably have NMM and FO4 installed on different drives. NMM doesn't work properly if installed on a separate drive. You should have xwm sound files under data\sound\fx\mus\radio\XXX\ where XXX is the subfolder for different stations. For example ASR is Agatha's Song Returns. But instead of xwm sound files you probably have symlinks in those subfolders created by NMM. Use NMM installed on the same drive as FO4, or manually copy the main\sound folder from OWR_6.0.rar into your Fallout 4 Data folder. Or download and use the manual version instead of the installer version of the mod.
Downloaded successfully and can switch through the 29 stations in my pip boy. Issue is I cannot hear anything. I can hear the static when changing stations but no music comes out from any station. This also occurs in the base game vanilla playthrough for me. Any idea how to fix? I thought adding a radio mod would change something but alas I am roaming the wasteland in silence
Edit: I've read CDantes sticky. What is a symlink? I have a file named __folder_managed_by_vortex in every single radio folder. Do I need to remove this?
This is amazing and impressive, but is there no way to remove Radio Stations we don't want or won't listen to beyond installing them as separate mods? To remove clutter I don't really want stations like NIN and 8-bit etc, I just want the lore-friendly ones.
The individual ones don't seem to come with the extra FOMOD and patch options.
Amazing mod. i just need a way to play 8-bit hits without having fallout open. with DJ duke and everything. even better if i can stream it to my phone.
I like how 8 bit hits has that one song from jewelpet sunshine where dian and garnet were being chased by dian's paparazzi
also, is the 8 bit hits here connected to the one from fallout new vegas? If so, what happened to the super mutant? Did he die? I would figure hes the OG guy but theres like, new people here and duke nukem for some reason. They arent playing video game music like the mutant would of wanted.
Is there a way to delete stations? There are a few I never listen too so they are just wasting space.
I fancy getting your second pack but the thought of scrolling through screen after screen trying to remember which channel I wanted is putting me off :(
Whatever - thanks for this regardless as it is one of the best mods for Fallout 4 IMO. I can spend ages just crafting etc whilst enjoying the programs :)
I really wish you guys had a set/tracklist for these stations. Or maybe I'm just missing it. There are some bangers on Synthwave FM that unfortunately, since synthwave music is pretty esoteric, soundhound and shazam can't figure out the songs worth a satchel of Richards.
