Various radio stations can be received on radios in most vehicles in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. They act as the game's soundtrack and can also be heard in the Audio menu, while the game is paused. Many of the songs appear on cutscenes, and some songs are programmed to be played on certain parts of a mission; for example, Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' starts to play when the player enters their first vehicle at the start of the game. Emergency vehicles feature instead a police radio, especially recorded for the game which was a departure from previous games in the series.
The arrangement of the soundtrack of GTA Vice City was a big move on the part of Rockstar Games: unlike previous games in the series, which relied to a great extent in original creations, GTA Vice City has an overwhelming majority of licensed content, with just 5 original songs.
Most radio stations play a mixture of music, DJ chat, and spoof advertising. The stations each reflect one style of music intended to evoke the atmosphere of the time. The bulk of the soundtrack is made of contemporary 1980s music by an overwhelming majority; however, the soundtrack also features a few songs from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
The radio stations that the player can listen in GTA Vice City are as follows:
- Wildstyle: Hip Hop, Electro
- Flash FM: Pop
- K-Chat: Entertainment Talk Station
- Fever 105: Disco, Soul, R&B, Funk
- V-Rock: Hard Rock, Heavy Metal
- Vice City Public Radio: Politics Talk Station
- Radio Espantoso: Latin Jazz, Mambo, Son, Salsa
- Emotion 98.3: Soft Pop, Power Ballad
- Wave 103: New Wave, Synthpop, Post-Punk
In addition to the in-game radio stations, PC, Xbox and iOS players can add their own music to the game. These will be played on the 'MP3 Player' on the PC and Xbox versions and the 'Tape Deck' on the iOS version.
Several of the stations also reappear in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which is a direct prequel to the game.
An extensive 7-CD Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Official Soundtrack Box Set was released containing music from the game's radio stations, while a shorter Greatest Hits compilation CD was also released.
On 6 December 2012, GTA Vice City was released on iOS and Android to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary. However, over the years, song licenses expired, and therefore some songs were removed from these versions of the game. The same songs are missing from the game re-releases as a PS2 Classic on PS3 and PS4.

MP3 Player/Tape Deck
GTA Vice City allows players to play their songs in the PC, Xbox and iOS ports of the game. This custom radio station is named 'MP3 Player' in the PC and Xbox ports, and 'Tape Deck' in the iOS port.
'MP3 Player' only supports .ogg and .mp3 music formats (as well as shortcuts to those types of files). Tracks are played in alphabetical order according to their file names and cannot be skipped. Inserting custom music into 'MP3 Player' consists simply of placing music files into the 'mp3' folder located within the primary game folder (i.e. Program FilesRockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto Vice Citymp3
). For the Xbox version, a CD must be installed into the console's hard drive. The logo of 'MP3 Player' is just a 'palette swap' of the logo of the 'MP3 Player' custom station from GTA III.
'Tape Deck' requires the player to create a music playlist on their iOS device named 'VICECITY', and add songs to that playlist. After that's been done, they must start up the game, be in any normal vehicle, and keep changing the radio station until they reach 'Tape Deck', which is between 'Radio Off' and Wave 103.

- Los Super Seven - 'Compay Gato' (2001) (featured during the Naval Engagement cutscene)

- Whodini - 'The Freaks Come Out at Night' (1984) (featured during The Job cutscene)
- Blue Öyster Cult - 'Burnin' for You' (1981) (featured during the Boomshine Saigon cutscene)

Non Selectable Radio Station
There is one non-selectable radio station in the game. It is Vice City News, which was intended to appear in the game as a news radio station, but was dropped during development. Despite this, the building and Mavericks still appear in the final version of the game.
Commercials
Commercials in GTA Vice City were greatily expanded from the commercials of the previous game. The biggest appeal of the commercials in Vice City is that for the first time in the series Rockstar could produce commercials that dealt with an earlier era, here showcasing the typical vibe and mindset of people and media of the '80s. Later games in the series that were set in an earlier period would follow this model.
Due to being the first game made in the 3D Universe that was set in an earlier era, Rockstar had enough technological advances to showcase the music, clothes, atmosphere and thus, the typical commercials of the '80s. There are references to relevant topics of the period, such as hair products, the Red scare, Japanese car companies winning the American market and early home consoles that could bring the quality of arcade machines to the living room.
Some products advertized are: 'Ammu-Nation' (the firearms store that is 'leading the war against communism' and that has film festivals where they 'screen the documentary 'Red Dawn'), 'Yuppie and the Alien' (a 'Miami Vice' meets 'ALF' police drama that teams up a human cop and an alien 'that could vaporize dissidents in Alpha Centauri but in this precinct [he has to] do it by-the-book') and the 'Domestobot' (a domestic helper robot for people that tried hiring a nanny but desisted after she wanted health insurance).
Rap File For Ps2 Classics List
Trivia
List Of Ps2 Classics
- The original soundtrack featured 103 songs. The year with the highest number of songs was 1983, with 21 featured.
- This is the first soundtrack in the series to feature predominantly licensed content. Previous games heavily featured original creations produced by the Rockstar staff. Five songs in this soundtrack were original creations (2 for V-Rock and 3 for Radio Espantoso).
- It is worth noting that, while there where previous inroads in making stations with licensed content (GTA London had an array of 1960s Italian films soundtracks and reggae, and GTA III had electronic, rap, dub and 1980s pop), that was nothing on the scale and depth of the soundtrack of GTA Vice City, with hits well-known by the mainstream public and in a quantity that large in every station.
- The game consolidated the use of an original police radio track created especially for it. Previous games in the series used a generic police track used in countless films, series and games ('5 George K, number 30 Broad street' is said in the track), with the exception of GTA London (which used an original police track with British accents and references to locations in London). Since GTA Vice City, all the GTA games that have included a police track have used a track created especially for that game.
- The radio tuning sound effects are snippets from various tracks from GTA III.
- For example, one of the snippets heard when tuning the radio is a fragment from the Dormatron commercial in GTA III where the woman says 'strap in your arms and legs'.
- The only anachronistic songs given the 1986 setting are Cachao's 'A Gozar Con Mi Combo' (1994) and two songs that aren't included in any radio and can only be heard in certain cutscenes: Los Super Seven's 'Compay Gato' and 'Campesino' (both from 2001).
- Whodini's 'The Freaks Come Out at Night' can be heard in a cutscene but is not included in any of the game's radios. It would be included later on the hip hop radio Fresh FM in GTA Vice City Stories.
- Toto's 'Hold the Line' was included in the European release of the 7-CD Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Official Soundtrack Box Set but does not feature in the game. It would be included later on the classic rock radio K-DST in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
- In the 10th Anniversary re-release of the game, many songs were removed due to expired licenses. The only stations to retain their full soundtracks were Wave 103 and Radio Espantoso.
