i would experience uncontrollable vomiting if i had to hear that crap 

It's not all Axis...there's a ton of BBC, Armed Forces Radio, etc...Edward R. Murrow....

What's really neat about this stuff, is that the broadcast usually leads into a song...

"Allied forces advanced 20 miles today and are outside Prague...and here's the Glen Miller Band..."

It adds a bit of ambiance I think...

I think the women back then we're hot. Very elegant, even the slutty ones. I think if I were single again I would find one of those Vogue Clubs and try to do some damage there.:aok Why don't I think of this stuff when I'm single?

It's like nowadays, my wife and I go to Brasil every year for Carnival and my friends ask me how it is. I tell them in all seriousness,"it's like taking sand to the beach." Why wasn't I going there when I was single?

oh yeah...the topic. I like the music from that era. It had class unlike most of the bass thumping B.S. that passes for music now.

I actually have some BBC broadcasting that plays a song or two then loads some authentic news reel inbetween songs (like commercials)
Basically all I did was autoplay my songs, and every 3-4 mp3's I added some radio broadcast of real events which were in mp3 format also
(for example dec 7th 1941 would be end of my 1941 era mp3s, and it would play the famous speech about pearl harbor)

Really dweeby yeah, but really I enjoy stuff like that makes the game much more fun. Plus I never got to hear any of these broadcasts before.

You can add sound clips to your sound pack.  Replace a warning sound with a song, just make sure the file is named "warning" and change the old file to ie. "warning_1"

I don't know if you guys ever played it, but Battlefield: Vietnam had the option of playing a few songs from the 60's while in vehicles.  I thought that was a pretty neat feature.  You could even add your own songs to the ones that came with the game.  I'm sure it isn't very realistic to have music playing in the cockpit of a P-51.  Wasn't the smallest radio the size of a trunk back then?!

Musta been real hard for them to radio to their wingman.  Perhaps a little investigation prior to posting next time would be in order.  It was common for pilots to tune to radio stations in WW2 during flight...escort duty was long and lonely after all.  Many used those radio signals to navigate back or "home" in on friendly areas when lost or separated from their flight packages.

I listen to music all of the time while playing AH.   I put WMP at about 2 or 3, so I can hear everything, including vox.

Well, it seems like there is a large supopot on the music of the 40's.  Lets push AH to add this on the next upgrade where we can turn the music off and on.

Its not hard, Silent Hunter 4 had a built in Mp3 player, hence why I searched the internet for weeks to compile the list of music for co-modder.
I think adding an option for hot keys to turn music on and off in game without having to alt-tab would be great,
I use a third party program now lets me be in game and have my winamp ingame with me, sadly the box is rather big so I have to shove it in my lap blocking certain gauges. Neverless I can control my winamp in game and its quite nice.

How do you have winamp up when in game?. I have tried but thought it couldn't be done so I just start it and let it randomly play.

its been so long since i did this, i am trying to find out of one of my books where I got the idea from.
I think I basically put Aces High in Windowed mode, as a background application and made winamp my primary desktop.
Long as I don't exist winamp I dont have to alt tab to my 2nd desktop which would be aces high it works fine.
hard to explain i need to find it and i can post instructions here.
