There is this folder called UserTracks located in the SFX/Radio folder.
What exactly is it for, maybe for user-made broadcasts?

It allows you to play your own sounds/music in the game through the radio, without needing to change the default sounds.

But wouldn't that require more than just adding .ogg files to the folder?

You just have to add them. The game does the rest (but if it isn't activated, go to Options and to "Audio" and find "Enable User Tracks", if it is already ticked, then it's enabled and you can also check the User Tracks (so if there are any of them not being able to load, altough the system needs some more polish for that). You can also select if you want to have the Tracks being Repeated (this means they will be played sorted by alphabet) or being played Random.
Then you have to get a Radio and select Channel 1 (I would also recommend to have the radio from 914 on the Fine setting, so you have unlimited battery power).

Thanks for explaining

No problem I always like to help others

My question is, How do you INSERT THE FILE? Do you type the name and then .ogg next to it? Like say I want to insert the Dummy Battle song from Undertale, would I type mus_dummybattle.ogg? Because DRAGGING IT INTO THE NOTEPAD just opens a new folder!

Please help!

Files are read from the UserTracks folder when they're placed in it. You can double check that the game's reading the file by clicking the "Check User Tracks" button in the options. From there it should just play on channel 1 of the radio.

I know how it works I just wanna know in which what way it's put in.
Do you type the file name? (like mus_dummybattle.ogg and it scans it?) Didn't work for me!
What do you do?
Help, please!

Spoiler

Do you drag it in?

The game just scans the directory /scpcb/SFX/Radio/UserTracks/ for .ogg/.wav files. Just place your music in that folder and then the game will read them.

Um, are you trying to drag it into the .txt placed in the folder or the folder itself?
