Well, to have the conversation here would help anyone else with a similar problem, who don't have to go searchin. So its good to have another one.

I did a general search plus one of the stickied thread for Commander in the Mods forum and didn't find anything specific to that file... so I PM'd JS about it.

I really hope the files I found in Commander are the source of the continuing appearance of the track in-game... I don't know where else it could be coming from, since it's been deleted from the game folder. If that is the source, then a workaround shouldn't be that difficult.

I FOUND ZE SOLUTION!
actually its a pretty bad solution.
You can uninstall your operating system and then reinstall it. Thats what I had to do after attempting a faulty patch install for SH4. Not fun!

Okay that's not really that funny. I've only done that once and it was on purpose to get a 'clean slate' after years of accumulating the usual crap on my HD. Still not fun.

Actually just heard back from JS and, yes, it IS safe to delete all the Radio.wav files from the SH3 Commander directories if you don't want them added to your gramophone playlist.

yeah, i hate system wipes. Its a pain. Thank God JS got back to you so we didn't have to do my horrible ideas.

Come to think of it that function of Commander is pretty cool if you wanted to customize playlists for various dates in the game, I think you could just put the tracks you want to play all the time in the game's Gram folder and then put additional ones in the Gram folders in Commander and it would insert them in the game for the specified date.

You'd just have to be careful with the filenames in both programs, I guess, to make sure you didn't run into the kind of conflict I was apparently having. But it is a neat idea to have date-specific radio broadcasts or even music tracks available for certain important historical dates.

Yikes I just had a mental image of me diligently researching the release date of every single track in my collection to see when it should, in theory, become available to be played as a record on a u-boat, and proceeding accordingly. Knowing me, I will do this at some point.

My goodness the awesomeness of this game and the things people have done to it and what can be done to it to make it even more awesome...
