How to Make a GuildRadioFM Song Pack

GuildRadioFM supports optional song-pack addons. A song pack can add its own songs to the main GuildRadioFM ALL library and automatically create a playlist, without editing the core addon.

Example:
GuildRadioFM Tavern Nights Vol 1 is a separate addon folder that registers its songs with GuildRadioFM Core.

Requirements:
- GuildRadioFM Core v2.1.1 or newer
- MP3 files packaged inside your song-pack addon folder
- A .toc file
- A Lua file that calls GuildRadioFM.RegisterSongPack(...)

Folder Structure

Your song pack should look like this:

GuildRadioFM My Playlist Name/
GuildRadioFM My Playlist Name.toc
My Playlist Name.lua
Songs/
Song One.mp3
Song Two.mp3
Song Three.mp3

The folder must go here:

World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/

So the final install looks like:

Interface/AddOns/
GuildRadioFM/
GuildRadioFM My Playlist Name/

TOC File Example

Create:

GuildRadioFM My Playlist Name.toc

Paste:

## Interface: 120005
## Title: GuildRadioFM My Playlist Name
## Notes: Optional GuildRadioFM song pack
## Author: YourName
## Version: 1.0.0
## Dependencies: GuildRadioFM

My Playlist Name.lua

Lua File Example

Create:

My Playlist Name.lua

Paste and edit:

local pack = {
packId = "My Playlist Name",
packName = "My Playlist Name",
playlistName = "My Playlist Name",
songs = {
{
id = "My Playlist Name:Song One",
title = "Song One",
artist = "YourName",
style = "Custom",
file = "Interface\\AddOns\\GuildRadioFM My Playlist Name\\Songs\\Song One.mp3",
duration = 180,
},
{
id = "My Playlist Name:Song Two",
title = "Song Two",
artist = "YourName",
style = "Custom",
file = "Interface\\AddOns\\GuildRadioFM My Playlist Name\\Songs\\Song Two.mp3",
duration = 210,
},
},
}

local function RegisterPack()
if GuildRadioFM and GuildRadioFM.RegisterSongPack then
GuildRadioFM.RegisterSongPack(pack)
return true
end
return false
end

if not RegisterPack() then
local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, _, addonName)
if addonName == "GuildRadioFM" and RegisterPack() then
self:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
end
end)
end

Song Rules

Each song needs:
- id
- title
- file
- duration

Recommended ID format:

Playlist Name:Song Title

Example:

id = "Tavern Nights Vol 1:Winter in Dun Morogh"

The file path must point to the MP3 inside your addon folder:

file = "Interface\\AddOns\\GuildRadioFM My Playlist Name\\Songs\\Song One.mp3"

Do not use:
- C:\ paths
- D:\ paths
- Downloads folders
- Spotify links
- YouTube links
- internet URLs

WoW addons can only play files packaged inside addon folders.

Durations

Duration is in seconds.

Examples:
- 2 minutes = 120
- 3 minutes 30 seconds = 210
- 4 minutes 15 seconds = 255

Duration matters because GuildRadioFM uses it for:
- progress timers
- auto-next
- repeat behavior

What Happens In Game

When your song pack loads:
- Songs appear in GuildRadioFM’s ALL library
- A playlist appears using playlistName
- Songs are added to that playlist
- Existing user playlists are not overwritten
- No saved variables need to be edited
- Disabling the song-pack addon removes its songs after reload

Testing Checklist

Before uploading your song pack:

1. Install GuildRadioFM Core v2.1.1 or newer.
2. Install your song-pack folder beside it.
3. Start WoW or type /reload.
4. Confirm chat says your pack loaded.
5. Open GuildRadioFM.
6. Open Library and confirm your songs appear in ALL.
7. Open Playlists and confirm your playlist appears.

9. Confirm the progress timer moves.
10. Confirm auto-next moves to the next song.
11. Reload UI and confirm no duplicate songs appear.
12. Disable your song-pack addon and confirm GuildRadioFM still works.
