[size=7]R.A.C.E. Ready Music[/size]

UPDATE: 11-20-10
- Ring-A-Ding all you crazy cats out there in New Vegas land! Daddy Balok (aka Mike Hancho) has uploaded 50 more solid hits to rock your RACE Radio, baby!

- Included in Track Packs 11 through 15 are even more hip sounds from the era with quite a few Country and Western numbers, plenty more big band swing, some good old school soul and of course a song or two from the Rat Pack boys, Frankie, Deano and Sammy! (See track list below)

- So grab yourself some more of these crazy sounds man, and please take a moment to tell me how you like them and drop an endorsement, ya dig? (Daddy Balok needs some love, baby!!!)

(As always, all tracks have been normalized and meta tags removed.)


UPDATE - 10-31-10
- A gracious user reminded me of removing the meta data from the mp3 files, so I re-processed packs 01 thru 05 with mp3tag to remove the unwanted meta data.
(Note that it shouldn't be a problem using the original files unless you take some of the songs and use them in the vanilla radio stations. For R.A.C.E. there shouldn't be any issues I'm aware of.)

- Added packs 06 - 10 for 50 more songs! (See playlist below)
(Note: Songs 137 - 150 came from the incredible GNR - More Where That Came From mod for Fallout 3. (Special credit and thanks to Old Man Mose for his fantastic mod!)
I have used that mod the entire time I played FO3 and I picked some of my favorite songs from that playlist for my New Vegas playlist. It just wasn't the same without these songs as I have grown very fond of them.
All songs have been normalized for the volume levels in New Vegas, and all meta data removed via mp3tag.

DESCRIPTION

Need some more tunes for R.A.C.E. or another custom radio mod? Just download these packs and you're all set!

I've been using these for my songs in tortured Tomato's excellent Radio Active Channel Extender mod which I HIGHLY recommend. They are already numbered to fill the songs in from track 50 to 150. Just drop them in the right folder and you're good to go! (see Installation below)

In these packs you will find 100 songs that fit perfectly into the Fallout - New Vegas style of music. They range from Swing, Blues, Jazz, Traditional, Country & Western and Popular music of the 40's & 50's. You've already heard many of the artists preforming these songs in Fallout 3 and in Fallout New Vegas' vanilla tracks. They were meticulously listened to and chosen to compliment the game's style and overall feel. They will range from melancholy, to silly, to upbeat "happy" sounds and most have hooks in them that directly apply to the game in various ways! Most were downloaded from the Internet Music Archive and the best I can tell should be in the public domain.


Also, due to the low volume level of the vanilla songs included in the game, these tracks have been "normalized" to hopefully give you a nice constant volume level compared to the vanilla. (Songs are either mono or stereo .mp3 format) If you find any that need further tweaking, please let me know! Enjoy!

INSTALLATION
While recommended, it's not mandatory to use the R.A.C.E. mod for these songs. If you're using another mod, just download these songs, rename the ones you want to use to match your custom radio's file format and drop them in the proper directory.

For R.A.C.E. - If you're using R.A.C.E. just download the files and unzip and copy/paste them to the Fallout New Vegas\Data\Sound\songs\radio\radio active directory. If you're already using the plugin for 100 songs this will fill in songs 50 - 100. (Of course you'll need your own tracks for 1 - 49) If you're using one of the other plugins for less songs, you'll need to determine what tracks you need and rename these to fill in your playlist.
