(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.

***If you have issues with the download timing out before it's finished downloading, shoot me a message and I will give you an alternative download link***
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.
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.
I know this is going to be a weird question lol, In wich radio station is that guy who mentioned that you should not touch an assaultrons ass? legit this line caught me off guard and started laughing haha.
Unfortunately i forgot wich radio station it was and it had alot of bangers.
Can someone tell me wich radio station it was? Would appreciate <3
I've ran into the same issue, and its caused by the last sentence in my post.
"2 Issues I have with this mod, after 2 years of use.
1: Too much talk show. Not enough Actual Music... 2: This mod would have been way better if the stations were tagged, [OWR] Station, Because its a total cluster f*#@ trying to find frequencies for the game in this jungle of 100 radio stations. Radio Stations with generic names that mean nothing to the user as none of it is memorable or unique."
Just throwing this suggestion out there, because i probably won't find the time to learn how to do this exactly:
Now that we have base object swapper ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/67528 ), it should be relatively easy to Replace any radio you can find in the wasteland with one from this mod.
