Caution

IMPORTANT: Go into the game's In-Game Audio Settings and TURN OFF the DJ Voice.

🚀 MASSIVE UPDATE... with no new "features"!

This one is big. In the last 24 hours, the Audio Core Engine that controls how we get your music into the game has been massively updated and optimized to give you the best audio experience yet! Things that started as guesswork are now pinned down to a science. 🎯

🎧 Audio playback optimizations all over the place
🛠️ General stability enhanced

The new Audio Core Engine also means easier, quicker, faster updates to the mod, and it makes future sister mods for other compatible streaming services much easier! 🙌

📣 Please share this mod with anyone you know who's playing!

🎧 v0.2.1: Audio Optimization

The big one: the music now plays much nicer with the game. Same Spotify casting and local music, way fewer hiccups. It runs on the same improved audio engine as the YouTube Music version.

🔁 Smoother song changes

The little hitch when the station moves to the next song (usually when the Now Playing popup shows up) is greatly reduced. A very faint one can still happen on some changes.

⏸️ Smarter pausing

The mod now notices when the game stops playing the station, holds your song, and picks up from the same spot. Your phone's play and pause still work like before.

🎯 Better song timing and handoffs

Song timing now uses the game's own song lengths, and Spotify and local music hand over to each other more reliably. Local songs pick up right where they stopped.

🔍 Still investigating

We're still looking into making your Spotify or local music pause, behind the scenes, during in-game wheelspins, rewinds, and race starts.

⚠️ One radio mod at a time

This uses the same D3DCompiler_47.dll as the YouTube Music version, FH2 Streaming Radio YTM, so you can only run one of the two. They use separate folders, and you can copy your MUSIC folder between them.

Install / update

  1. Drop D3DCompiler_47.dll and the spotify-radio folder next to Azimuth.exe and replace the old files.
  2. Your config.ini and cache folder are kept.
  3. Turn DJ Voice OFF in the in-game Audio Settings, then switch to Horizon XS.

Something wrong?

Set log_level = debug under [debug] in spotify-radio\config.ini, play, then send spotify-radio\spotify-radio.log.
