The '''soundtrack of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''', which is set in [[1992]] in the West Coast state of [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], required that the game's [[Radio Stations|radio stations]] reflect the music tastes of the time and area, in addition to covering current events in the state of San Andreas. Together with several early-1990s music, the scores of the soundtrack also included songs from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The standalone version of the soundtrack was released on [[2004#November 23|November 23]], [[2004]].

The '''soundtrack of ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''''', which is set in [[1992]] in the West Coast state of [[State of San Andreas (3D Universe)|San Andreas]], is made up of in-game [[Radio Stations|radio stations]] which play a variety of music from various genres. In addition to contemporary 1990s music, it also includes music from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. For the first time in the ''Grand Theft Auto'' series, all the songs are licensed, in complete contrast to the original ''[[Grand Theft Auto (1997 game)|Grand Theft Auto]]'' game.

Although most vehicles in the game can tune in the radio, some, such as emergency vehicles, play a [[Police Scanner|police radio track]] instead, and others, such as bicycles and tractors, are not equipped with radios.
The player can listen to the following radio stations:

In previous games, radio stations consisted of a single, looped audio file which repeated songs, DJ commentary and commercials in the same order. In ''GTA San Andreas'', the game itself randomizes the playlist, DJ commentary during and between songs, and other aspects such as weather reports. Some stations, most notably [[West Coast Talk Radio]], changes its programming as the game progresses, sometimes reflecting events within the game or subplots occurring within the radio programming. Even the police radio track changes towards the latter part of the game, when the riots occur.
* [[Playback FM]] - East Coast Hip Hop
 
* [[K Rose]] - Country
 
* [[K-DST]] - Classic Rock
 
* [[Bounce FM]] - Funk
 
* [[SF-UR]] - House
 
* [[Radio Los Santos]] - West Coast Hip Hop
 
* [[Radio X]] - Alternative Rock, Grunge
 
* [[CSR 103.9]] - New Jack Swing
 
* [[K-JAH West]] - Reggae
 
* [[Master Sounds 98.3]] - Rare Groove
 
* [[West Coast Talk Radio|WCTR]] - Talk Radio
 
* [[User Track Player]] (PC only) - User-Defined Track Player
 
   
  +
An extensive 8-CD ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Official Soundtrack Box Set]]'' was released containing music from the game's radio stations, while a smaller 2-CD ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Official Soundtrack|compilation set]]'' was also released.
The songs are listed in the same order as they appear in the game manual. However, the game itself randomizes song order, DJ comments during and between songs, and other aspects such as weather reports. Some stations, most notably WCTR, changes its programming as the game progresses, sometimes reflecting events within the game or subplots occurring within the radio programming.

On October 26, 2014, ''GTA San Andreas'' was re-released as a download for the [[Xbox 360]] to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary. However, over the years, the licenses for some of the songs had expired, and thus some of the songs were excluded from future re-releases as a PS2 Classic on [[PlayStation 3]], [[PlayStation 4]] and [[PlayStation 5]], [[Xbox Series X and Series S|Xbox Series X]], as well as ''[[Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition|The Definitive Edition]]''. [[K-Rose]], [[SF-UR]] and [[CSR 103.9]] are the only stations to retain their original playlists.

==User Track Player==
 
For GTA San Andreas, music files may be placed in a "User Tracks" folder, located in its GTA "User Files" folders within My Documents[[File:120px-gta_sa_User-Track-Player-Logo.png|thumb]]
 
   
  +
==User Track Player/Mixtape==
==Radio Commercials==
 
  +
[[File:User-Track-Player-Logo.png|right|140px]]
Commercials that reference events in game:
 
  +
*'''Zebra Bar''' (Ed McMann; two commercials) — An exotic chocolate bar that mixes [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_chocolate white chocolate] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_chocolate dark chocolate]. It is mentioned in the first WCTR news bulletin that a protest outside the Zebra Bar Candy Company was occurring.
 
  +
''GTA San Andreas'' allows players to play their songs in the PC, Xbox and iOS ports of the game. This [[custom radio station]] is named "User Track Player" in the PC and Xbox ports, and "Mixtape" in the iOS port.
*'''Proposition 421''' — A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendum proposition] against [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_smoking smoking], which would allow a citizen to legally shoot and kill a smoker in self-defense. The name is a possible reference to 420, a slang for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana marijuana].
 
  +
*'''The Epsilon Program''' (Fred Melamed, three commercials) — A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult cult]. Numerous people in the game appear to be members including original ''Entertaining America'' host Billy Dexter and ''Area 53'' host Marvin Trill. Epsilon Program founder Chris Formage is interviewed by Lazlow on the third and final segment of Entertaining America. Dwayne Thorn, from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_Vice_City_Stories_soundtrack#VCPR VCPR] in ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_Vice_City_Stories Vice City Stories]'' also utters the Program's mantra "Kifflom" at one point, as does [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_Vice_City_Stories_soundtrack#VCFL VCFL] DJ Tina Jane, who insults the cult. It offers "eternal salvation for those who attend".
 
  +
"User Track Player" only supports .ogg and .mp3 music formats (as well as shortcuts to those types of files). Contrary to previous custom stations in the series, "User Track Player" offers various options of playing the music files: in sequential order, on random, or within a rudimentary radio station that only plays commercials between music tracks. Players are also allowed to immediately skip to the next track if the station is not set as a radio station. Inserting custom music into "User Track Player" consists of placing music files in a "User Tracks" folder, located in its GTA "User Files" folders within My Documents. To ensure recently inserted tracks are sure to be played, ''GTA San Andreas'' requires the players "scan" the music folder using the audio options for new music tracks.
*'''Inversion Therapy''' (Danny Burstein) — A form of therapy to overcome rather extreme fears by facing them (for example, if you fear dying, the therapy advises committing suicide to get over it), creator Darius Fontaine calls in on the final ''Entertaining America'', Lazlow having tried the therapy unsuccessfully.

Castradon is mentioned as a sponsor of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR car racing] on the second episode of ''The Tight End Zone''.
 
  +
[[File:Mixtape.png|right|140px]]
*'''The Cavern of Sorrow''' — A role-playing game spoofing ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons Dungeons & Dragons]''. Playback FM DJ Forth Right MC mentions having to get supplies for a Cavern of Sorrow marathon.
 
  +
"Mixtape" requires the player to create an iTunes playlist on their iOS device named "GTASA" and add songs to that playlist. After that has 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 WCTR and "Radio Off".
*'''Ammu-Nation''' — (Intro voiced by Frank Chavez) Advertising guns, telling everyone why they should all buy and own a gun ("Ammu-Nation, protecting your family from the evils of a liberal society"). Commercial for the Ammu-Nation store that is in the game. The Ammu-Nation commercial from ''Vice City'' that is played in the chain can be heard inside all of the stores throughout the state.
 
  +
*'''Cluckin' Bell''' (Two commercials) — A commercial for the fried chicken chain in the game, which is a parody of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Fried_Chicken KFC]. Sage from Radio X dedicates a song off the station (Primal Scream's "Movin' On Up") to a guy she "did behind the Cluckin' Bell." The commercials make references to KFC's many controversies, including accusations of cruelty to chickens. The advertisement host also says, "If you enjoy it, the chicken didn't die in vain!" and "Suffering never tasted so good!"
 
  +
==Other Songs==
*'''Blotto's''' (Three commercials) — A store catering for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_drug_use daily habits]. At the end of the first Gardening with Maurice show, Maurice briefly mentions Blotto's.

*'''Ultimate Disc in the Dark''' — A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Fierro San Fierro]-based game where players throw a flying disc in the dark, the object is to catch a disc and run to the goal to score. It is mentioned as a sponsor for the first installment of ''The Wild Traveller''.
 
  +
*'''Bouche Cologne''' — A cologne for the man who wants to feel like a ''real'' man. This is the first of two different colognes that are advertised on the radio within the game. ''Lonely Hearts'' host Christy becomes aroused by Fernando's Bouche cologne in a later Lonely Hearts segment.
 
  +
*{{WP|AFI (band)|AFI}} – "{{WP|Head Like a Hole}}" (2004)
*'''My Five Uncles''' — A TV series of which is both a parody of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Two_Dads My Two Dads]'' and ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_House Full House]''.

==Commercials==

{{Main|Commercials in GTA San Andreas}}
*'''Commemorative Miniatures''' — A historical [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_wargaming miniature wargaming] commercial, selling miniatures soldiers and tanks.

  +
[[Commercials in GTA San Andreas]] are a gigantic expansion from the previous game, the huge number of fictional products that are advertised in San Andreas dwarfs anything that [[Rockstar]] had made until that point. Running time for San Andreas commercials is just a couple of minutes shorter than that of ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]''. Due to the new randomizing mechanics of the stations in ''San Andreas'', commercials could feature on any radio station and in any order. As ''San Andreas'' is set in an earlier era, the commercials follow the model set by the commercials in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'' and depicts the media trends, relevant topics and general atmosphere of the early 1990s.
*'''Law''' (Jeff Berlin, three commercials) — Legal drama series broadcast on Thursdays on cable channel Weasel. A parody to legal shows such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.A._Law L.A. Law]. "Catch it Thursdays on Weasel, before it catches you!"
 
  +
*'''Intergalactic Wrestling Title''' — A spoof of American [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling professional wrestling] that is also broadcast on Weasel.
 
  +
Some examples of commercials in ''GTA San Andreas'' are: ''"Grin"'' (a pill to help cure anxiety, depression, and the lack of confidence that comes with raising a family at the suburbs; consuming it is completely safe, ''"after all, what could be wrong about a pill that makes you feel better all of the time?"''), ''"Starfish Resort and Casino"'' (referencing humorously the 1990s obsession with "family friendly" casinos, this is a casino where kids can bet, gain money by making lap dances and selling their organs, ''"this kind of fun should be illegal!"'') and ''"Dreammakers"'' (referencing the arrival in the 1990s of many immigrants from ex-communist countries, it offers a start of a career in [[Vinewood (3D Universe)|Vinewood]]; women that ''"are only attractive but can hardly read or act will have to sleep their way to the top"'', and men that ''"are fat, boring, and have no ideas of their own [are] perfect, why not be movie producers!"'')
*'''Proposition 832''' — [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigotry B.I.G.O.T.] (Ban Immigration [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Permanent_Resident_Card Green Cards] Outright Today) An organization aiming to ban immigration and instead create a new status for illegal aliens, whereby "while they're here, they have no rights." The ad also claims, "If we give them green cards, soon they’ll be just like us - overweight, unhappy, and too lazy to do menial tasks."
 
  +
*'''Proposition 602''' — A proposition to end mass-transit, converting bus-lanes and train tracks into more roads for the benefit of car owners.

*'''Commando Pest Eradication''' — A radical team of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_veteran Vietnam veterans] acting as insect exterminators. "It's the War on Nature; and this time, we're winning."
 
  +
[[Dopealicious FM]] is advertized on billboards throughout the state. However, it is not available for selection at any time during the game and has no songs or DJs associated with it. It is unknown whether the station was originally intended to be a real station but dropped during the [[Beta Releases in GTA San Andreas|development of the game]], or if was simply designed to sit alongside other fake brands advertised in the game.
*'''Dreamakers''' — Talent agency where nobodies are trained to become "stars". Based in Vinewood.
 
  +
*'''eXsorbeo''' — A portable game console. The commercial equates playing games on the system with masturbation, with such lines as, "Look mom, I'm playing with myself!" and "don't play too long or you'll go blind". The console has its own [http://www.exsorbeo.com website].
 
  +
Another possible non-selectable station is [[Hi K69 Radio Station|Hi K69]], which is a radio transmitter building located in [[Fort Carson]].
*'''Tropicarcinoma''' — Anti-tan-cream made from coconut oil, zinc, aluminum, boron, magnesium, and other volatile metals.
 
  +
*'''Crimson Executive Spouse Indemnity Services''' (1-866-505-CRIM) — Easily obtainable legal service offering life insurance policies for husbands in case their wives suffer terrible "accidents" (similar to the D'Leo and Thurax commercial from ''GTA: Vice City''.)

Possibly a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python Monty Python]'s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Permanent_Assurance Crimson Permanent Assurance].

*'''American Bank of Los Santos''' — A commercial about bank loans, has the same music as the Little Lacy Surprise ad in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
 
  +
===Cut Radio Stations===
*'''San Andreas Telephone''' — (Four commercials) The commercials parody numerous "stay in touch with loved ones" phone company advertising campaigns.
 
  +
====Unnamed Early Rave Station====
*'''Glory Hole Theme Park''' — (Mike Blakeney, two commercials) A theme park that caters to unconventional sexual behavior but presents itself as a family amusement park. "Gloryhole! Where strangers become friends! Gloryhole! You don't need to know names!"
 
  +
In the PS2 files, there is a list of radio station genres, with "Country" being listed as "Early Rave", indicating that originally, there was a Rave station present in the game. Furthermore, the following song was requested and approved to be in the game; however, due to the station being scrapped, it went unused:
*'''Special Needs Cop''' (Randy Perlstein, Jeff Berlin, Ron Reeve, Mike, Chris and James Ferrante and Chris Silvestro) — A movie starring action star Jack Howitzer (from the "Exploder" movie in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_City Vice City]) as a cop going undercover in a school for special-needs kids. A spoof on ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindergarten_Cop Kindergarten Cop]''.

*'''Carcer City''' — Commercial advertising [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcer_City Carcer City] as a holiday destination for those who are "tired of all the sunshine and good weather."

  +
====Flash FM====
*'''Shine by Helmut Schein''' — Designer perfume. Voiced by Jodie Shawback. Shawback also plays the Radio X DJ 'Sage.' She is the only in-game DJ to also be in an in-game radio commercial.
 
  +
In an October 2004 issue of {{WP|PSM3|PSM2}} magazine, a preview for ''San Andreas'' disclosed that [[Flash FM]] was considered for the game at some point. It is also possible that the ''Vice City'' rendition was used as a placeholder before the radio line-up was finalized.
*'''Renegade Cologne''' (Jeff Berlin) — "For the man who wants to reek of masculinity."
 
  +
====Hit Radio====
*'''Sooth''' — A hallucinogenic cold and cough syrup made from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codeine codeine], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphine morphine], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol alcohol]. Also available for children as Sooth Junior. May be partially inspired by "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_drank purple drank]", a recreational drug popular in Southern hip-hop culture.

In the same October 2004 PSM2 preview an unknown station was only known as "''Hit Radio''". It's unknown what genre it would play; however, judging by the name and the rest of the list, it might have been an early moniker for [[CSR 103.9]].

All the radio stations in GTA San Andreas.

RadioStations-GTASAde

Radio Station Wheel in GTA San Andreas - The Definitive Edition.

The soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which is set in 1992 in the West Coast state of San Andreas, is made up of in-game radio stations which play a variety of music from various genres. In addition to contemporary 1990s music, it also includes music from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. For the first time in the Grand Theft Auto series, all the songs are licensed, in complete contrast to the original Grand Theft Auto game.

Although most vehicles in the game can tune in the radio, some, such as emergency vehicles, play a police radio track instead, and others, such as bicycles and tractors, are not equipped with radios.

In previous games, radio stations consisted of a single, looped audio file which repeated songs, DJ commentary and commercials in the same order. In GTA San Andreas, the game itself randomizes the playlist, DJ commentary during and between songs, and other aspects such as weather reports. Some stations, most notably West Coast Talk Radio, changes its programming as the game progresses, sometimes reflecting events within the game or subplots occurring within the radio programming. Even the police radio track changes towards the latter part of the game, when the riots occur.

An extensive 8-CD Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Official Soundtrack Box Set was released containing music from the game's radio stations, while a smaller 2-CD compilation set was also released.

On October 26, 2014, GTA San Andreas was re-released as a download for the Xbox 360 to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary. However, over the years, the licenses for some of the songs had expired, and thus some of the songs were excluded from future re-releases as a PS2 Classic on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, as well as The Definitive Edition. K-Rose, SF-UR and CSR 103.9 are the only stations to retain their original playlists.

There are twelve in-game radio stations, with one custom station modified by the player. The songs are listed in the same order as they appear in the game manual. Please select a station to jump to its section.

Italicized songs with * are missing from all game releases which came after October 2014
Italicized songs with † are only missing from The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.

User Track Player/Mixtape

User-Track-Player-Logo

GTA San Andreas allows players to play their songs in the PC, Xbox and iOS ports of the game. This custom radio station is named "User Track Player" in the PC and Xbox ports, and "Mixtape" in the iOS port.

"User Track Player" only supports .ogg and .mp3 music formats (as well as shortcuts to those types of files). Contrary to previous custom stations in the series, "User Track Player" offers various options of playing the music files: in sequential order, on random, or within a rudimentary radio station that only plays commercials between music tracks. Players are also allowed to immediately skip to the next track if the station is not set as a radio station. Inserting custom music into "User Track Player" consists of placing music files in a "User Tracks" folder, located in its GTA "User Files" folders within My Documents. To ensure recently inserted tracks are sure to be played, GTA San Andreas requires the players "scan" the music folder using the audio options for new music tracks.

Mixtape

"Mixtape" requires the player to create an iTunes playlist on their iOS device named "GTASA" and add songs to that playlist. After that has 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 WCTR and "Radio Off".

Other Songs

The following song was not included in the game, but is featured as a bonus track in the 2-CD soundtrack compilation :

Commercials

Commercials in GTA San Andreas are a gigantic expansion from the previous game, the huge number of fictional products that are advertised in San Andreas dwarfs anything that Rockstar had made until that point. Running time for San Andreas commercials is just a couple of minutes shorter than that of Grand Theft Auto V. Due to the new randomizing mechanics of the stations in San Andreas, commercials could feature on any radio station and in any order. As San Andreas is set in an earlier era, the commercials follow the model set by the commercials in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and depicts the media trends, relevant topics and general atmosphere of the early 1990s.

Some examples of commercials in GTA San Andreas are: "Grin" (a pill to help cure anxiety, depression, and the lack of confidence that comes with raising a family at the suburbs; consuming it is completely safe, "after all, what could be wrong about a pill that makes you feel better all of the time?"), "Starfish Resort and Casino" (referencing humorously the 1990s obsession with "family friendly" casinos, this is a casino where kids can bet, gain money by making lap dances and selling their organs, "this kind of fun should be illegal!") and "Dreammakers" (referencing the arrival in the 1990s of many immigrants from ex-communist countries, it offers a start of a career in Vinewood; women that "are only attractive but can hardly read or act will have to sleep their way to the top", and men that "are fat, boring, and have no ideas of their own [are] perfect, why not be movie producers!")

Non-Selectable Radio Stations

Dopealicious FM is advertized on billboards throughout the state. However, it is not available for selection at any time during the game and has no songs or DJs associated with it. It is unknown whether the station was originally intended to be a real station but dropped during the development of the game, or if was simply designed to sit alongside other fake brands advertised in the game.

Another possible non-selectable station is Hi K69, which is a radio transmitter building located in Fort Carson.

Cut Radio Stations

Unnamed Early Rave Station

In the PS2 files, there is a list of radio station genres, with "Country" being listed as "Early Rave", indicating that originally, there was a Rave station present in the game. Furthermore, the following song was requested and approved to be in the game; however, due to the station being scrapped, it went unused:

Flash FM

In an October 2004 issue of PSM2 magazine, a preview for San Andreas disclosed that Flash FM was considered for the game at some point. It is also possible that the Vice City rendition was used as a placeholder before the radio line-up was finalized.

Hit Radio

In the same October 2004 PSM2 preview an unknown station was only known as "Hit Radio". It's unknown what genre it would play; however, judging by the name and the rest of the list, it might have been an early moniker for CSR 103.9.

Trivia

  • There are 155 songs on the soundtrack; 1992 is the most represented year, with eighteen songs.
  • This is the only game in the entire series where every radio station is dynamic. The radio selections of HD Universe games often make usage of a mixture of looped and dynamic stations.

  1. Eddie Rabbitt – "I Love a Rainy Night": The in-game version is not performed by Eddie Rabbitt. The cover was most likely created by Drew's Entertainment for their 2003 compilation album Drew's Famous 30 Greatest Country Songs, Vol. 2, under the pseudonym The Hit Crew. On the Official Soundtrack Box Set, the correct version performed by Rabbitt is included; this error was never corrected in subsequent re-releases of the game, however.
  2. Maurice – This Is Acid: The recording is actually taken from 2004's Trax Records: The 20th Anniversary Edition mix and contains two uncredited samples: Farley "Jackmaster" Funk – "Jack The Bass" (1985) at the start of the song, and The Housemaster Boyz – "House Nation" (1986) at the end.
