Test Drive Unlimited
From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
Revision as of 07:58, 13 June 2020 by 187.189.127.198 (talk) (→Adding custom music: Source: try it yourself, copy a 16-bit, 44,100 Hz standard PCM .wav to your radio station and it will play perfectly. This seems to be completely undocumented anywhere so you'll have to try it to see it.)
