Any plans to add support for Shortcuts for media?

I tried to get the radio up and running and I didn't want to copy and paste a gigabyte's worth of files, so I tried copy and pasting the shortcuts for my Self Radio channel in GTA, only to find that raw .mp3 are the only files that work (I checked the hints before doing anything, I just thought shortcuts might work).

Is there any plans to add onto the types of files that the game reads for all the different deco and machines? I wanna listen to more stuff but not eat the shit out of my storage

you can make a symbolic link and name it .mp3

symbolic link is like a super shortcut that redirects programs to the file

in cmd use>   mklink Link Target

'link' is the 'shortcut' that will be made  And 'target' is the file its pointing at  

so in cmd it will look like eg: 

mklink "C:\Users\you\AppData\Local\VotV\Assets\radio\link.mp3" "C:\myshitymusic\myshitysong.mp3"

I managed to create some, but they get stuck on "Loading" status in game. I had a .mp3 in there just to make sure the game wasn't misreading shit, and raw .mp3 was able to load while the syslink was stuck. Thanks for the help, though

that sucks, i use them and they worked for me in game, but might not work on every system.
