It should be noted, however, that not all songs from these stations are available to stream or download, but this problem will hopefully be addressed shortly. These stations also don’t include any of the radio commercials that GTA fans love, but fans can go to http://www.rockstargames.com/advertisingcouncil/ to hear their favourite classic radio ads.
*Writer’s Opinion*
Every time I delve into a new GTA game, the first thing I do is drive around for a while, exploring my surroundings and taking in the radio stations. Finding my favourite stations and cycling through them to find just the right track to fit a given mood or situation is, for me, one of the best parts of Grand Theft Auto. I think that making the playlists available on Spotify and iTUnes is a great way for fans of the series, like myself, to relive their favourite GTA memories whenever we want and wherever we go.
