No. The source is locked to the node it starts playing at.

Aw, that's a shame. Thank you for your time. Cheers!

I've envisioned something for a while: functioning radios on every (or most) vanilla cars. pretty much would just add triggers to the car radios in game and if the car has none, add an aftermarket radio mounted under the dash or something. I've been wondering if you have ever thought of something like it or may do it in the future; the idea I had would be the Zeidio tech with triggers on the ingame radios to switch channels, change volume and so. Being a person who mainly plays in cockpit view with no UI this would be a dream.

hi, curious. would it be possible to use streamed audio from an external player/source? i'm not familiar with developing but prior art exists with bbc's subwoofer mod (WIP - [PAID BETA] Subwoofer Mods | BeamNG), which redirects audio using vb-cable. just curious about having music play entirely within beamng in this type of circumstance

Ok here is my explaination of how to add your own music. For me it kinda worked. Some songs don't play and song length seems to a bit off, idk why. But here it is.

To add your own song to the Zeit radio mod, you have to:
1. Install the mod
2. Unpack the mod via the in game menu
3. Go to the unpacked mods folder ...\0.24\mods\unpacked\zeit_radio\art\zeitRadio\
4. Place your MP3 or WAV file into that folder
5. Start the game again and pack the mod with your added songs
6. Now go to 0.24\settings\zeit\radio\ and open the trackTable.json with Notepad++ or Visual Studio
7. Add a song definition after the already existing one and don't forget to add "}" for each new entry
Code:
"<song id>":{
  "artist":"<artist name>",
  "coverUrl":"<cover url, if no custom cover use art/zeitRadio/empty.png>",
  "duration":<song duration in seconds>,
  "name":"<song display name>",
  "url":"<audio file path (format: art/zeitRadio/xyz.xyz)>",
  "volCoef": <increases volume>
},
duration value is defining the max. length of each song.

Example:
Code:
"iran":{
    "artist":"A Flock Of Seagulls",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/empty.png",
    "duration":237,
    "name":"I Ran",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran.mp3"
  },
In my case the A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran.mp3 file is 3 minutes and 57 seconds long. So to caculate the duration value for this song, i have to know first how long 3 minutes are in seconds. Which is 180 seconds. And now a add the 57 seconds to it and got a value of 237 which i set in "duration".
In other words 180+57=237 seconds. Correct me if i did it wrong .
8. Add your newly defined song to the playlist section. If you don't want to add your song to the playlist that comes with the mod. Create a new one. In my case:
Code:
"2":[
      "iran",
    ]
"iran" is the name of the id that i gived the song. Make it simple and lower cased like the other entrys.
9. Now if you are done with your playlist, just safe the file and run the game.
10. Done

Example of the trackTable.json in 0.24\settings\zeit\radio before any editing:
Code:
"ample_descent":{
    "artist":"gabester",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/ample_descent.jpg",
    "duration":278,
    "name":"Ample Descent",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/ample_descent.mp3",
    "volCoef":3
  },
  "credits":{
    "artist":"gabester",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/lonle.jpg",
    "duration":261,
    "name":"Lonle",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/lonle.mp3"
  },
  "dicta":{
    "artist":"gabester",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/empty.png",
    "duration":35,
    "name":"Dicta Loop (Old Menu Music)",
    "url":"music_menu"
  },
  "drip_fountain":{
    "artist":"gabester, CaptainZoll",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/drip_fountain.png",
    "duration":66,
    "name":"Drip Fountain",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/drip_fountain.mp3",
    "volCoef":4
  },
  "fall_fountain":{
    "artist":"gabester",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/fall_fountain.jpg",
    "duration":288,
    "name":"Fall Fountain",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/fall_fountain.mp3",
    "volCoef":3
  },
  "lightrunner":{
    "artist":"TDK",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/lightrunner.png",
    "duration":1206,
    "name":"Lightrunner Loop",
    "url":"event:>Music>synthwave"
  },
  "playlists":{
    "1":[
      "lightrunner",
      "dicta",
      "ample_descent",
      "fall_fountain",
      "splendid_misanthropy",
      "credits",
      "drip_fountain"
    ]
  },
  "splendid_misanthropy":{
    "artist":"gabester",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/splendid_misanthropy.jpg",
    "duration":338,
    "name":"Splendid Misanthropy",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/splendid_misanthropy.mp3",
    "volCoef":3
  }
Example of 3 added songs to the trackTable.json in 0.24\settings\zeit\radio\
Code:
{
  "ample_descent":{
    "artist":"gabester",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/ample_descent.jpg",
    "duration":278,

  },

    "duration":261,
    "name":"Lonle",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/lonle.mp3"
  },
  "dicta":{
    "artist":"gabester",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/empty.png",
    "duration":35,
    "name":"Dicta Loop (Old Menu Music)",
    "url":"music_menu"
  },
  "drip_fountain":{

  "fall_fountain":{

    "duration":288,
    "name":"Fall Fountain",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/fall_fountain.mp3",
    "volCoef":3
  },
  "lightrunner":{
    "artist":"TDK",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/lightrunner.png",
    "duration":1206,
    "name":"Lightrunner Loop",
    "url":"event:>Music>synthwave"
  },
  "iran":{
    "artist":"A Flock Of Seagulls",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/empty.png",
    "duration":237,
    "name":"I Ran",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran.mp3"
  },
  "takeonme":{
    "artist":"A-ha",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/empty.png",
    "duration":224,
    "name":"Take On Me",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/A ha Take On Me.mp3"
  },
  "allthatshewants":{
    "artist":"Ace Of Base",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/empty.png",
    "duration":209,
    "name":"All that she wants",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/Ace of Base - All that she wants.mp3"
  },
  "playlists":{
    "1":[
      "lightrunner",
      "dicta",
      "ample_descent",
      "fall_fountain",
      "splendid_misanthropy",
      "credits",
      "drip_fountain"
    ]
    "2":[
      "iran",
      "takeonme",
      "allthatshewants",
    ]
  },
  "splendid_misanthropy":{
    "artist":"gabester",
    "coverUrl":"art/zeitRadio/splendid_misanthropy.jpg",
    "duration":338,
    "name":"Splendid Misanthropy",
    "url":"art/zeitRadio/splendid_misanthropy.mp3",
    "volCoef":3
  }
}
But:
This mod currently doesn't support none english letters. So i encounter issues with songs that had letters in the song name or file name like "ä,ö,ü" or "ù". Also don't have any cling signs in your file names like sometimes songname [1998].mp3. Remove anything like that and don't forget to update your zeit mod package according to that if you had already songs put in there with these sings.
If you have such letters in the file names, your whole game UI will go broken. Your car will spawn with broken suspension and such. If you have these letters in the song name description like for the "artist" name or "name", then you will not having problems to load the game. But the music player will show you a "?" warning emoji sign.
