The (↑) and (↓) circular buttons will allow you to cycle through your list of radio stations. To mark a song or internet station as your favorite, tap the (♥) or (♡) icon which will increase the favorite count by one. If you wish to decrease the favorites count, merely right-click on the heart icon. Boosting the favorite count makes a song play more frequently by tricking the player into thinking there are additional versions of the song.

Press the (🔈) again to shift to a high volume (🔊), again adjusting the slider to set your default level. Tapping the high volume (🔊) returns you to regular volume. It’s a handy way to swiftly adjust your music volume according to the demands of the game you’re playing.

For local station playlist, hitting the (📻) icon on the radio controls will effectively transform it into a virtual internet radio station, incrementing the frequency of your favorite songs. In instances where the game controller requires refreshing, hit the (🎮) button to renew the link status. While Arcade Convoy Radio auto-detects new controllers, manually refreshing can correct any prospective issues.

Customizable Hotkeys and Seamless Game Controller Integration

  • Arcade Convoy Radio offers a highly customizable hotkey system that allows you to assign specific actions to keyboard keys, game controller buttons, or a combination of both. With the extensive Hotkey Options window, you can easily set up your preferred controls for actions such as next song, previous song, play/pause, stop/start music, volume toggle, next/previous soundfont, favorite count up/down, quit, volume up/down, home button, and next/previous radio station.
  • To configure a hotkey, simply click on the edit box and press your preferred key. If you’re using a game controller, choose the corresponding button from the drop-down menu provided. When activating a joystick hotkey, remember that the joystick toggle button must be held down, and this button can also be set from the drop-down menu. Keyboard modifiers such as Ctrl, Alt, and Shift can be used to create unique hotkey combinations. Be mindful not to assign a hotkey that may contradict another program’s hotkey, like Ctrl+V, which is typically used as the paste command. Arcade Convoy Radio will take precedence, potentially causing conflicts with the other program. Therefore, it is advisable to use a combination of modifiers to bypass any unwanted consequences.
  • Arcade Convoy Radio provides seamless game controller support, allowing you to control the music player effortlessly while enjoying your favorite games. The program supports a wide range of controllers, including Xbox and PlayStation controllers, both old and new, wired and wireless. The intuitive button mapping ensures a consistent and enjoyable experience across different controller types right out of the box.
  • In addition to the hotkey options, Arcade Convoy Radio offers various settings to enhance your audio experience. You can adjust the minimum  and maximum volume toggle levels, customize rumble feedback for the joystick toggle and button presses, and easily save your preferred hotkey configuration.

Customize Your Listening Experience with Arcade Convoy Radio's Favorites

Arcade Convoy Radio brings a unique dimension to personalizing your music experience through its innovative Favorites system. Unlike traditional music players, this platform allows you to assign a “favorite count” to each song, thus giving you greater control over how often you want your favorite tracks to play. The higher the count, the more often the song or internet radio station is played.

The Favorites window is user-friendly and intuitive. It shows the currently playing song’s name and includes spin controls and an edit box for easy favorite count setting. Additionally, you get to choose from three radio stations: “Arcade Convoy Radio” (All Songs), “Arcade Convoy Top 40: All Hits All The Time” (Favorites Only), and “Arcade Convoy: Undiscovered Tracks” (No Favorites Allowed). These stations are conveniently accessible from the radio face.

Though the “No Favorites Allowed” station does consider radio options, for the most enjoyable listening experience, we recommend keeping the raw favorites value at 0 once your favorite counts is set up. This is because the favorite count facilitates the consistent playing of your favorite songs at your preferred frequency.

Experience a personalized musical journey tailored to your taste with Arcade Convoy Radio’s Favorites system. Relax, sit back and immerse yourself in your favorite tracks.
