But why should I use Steam's music player when I already have one that works perfectly fine?
Playing and shifting tracks mid-game, and convenience.
It has these features? Generally I've found it annoying to work with, mostly because I couldn't figure out
how to work with it.
Please do tell me how it works.
Slightly complicated process incoming.
Step 1: Open up your steam music viewer, if you don't know how to do this it's a simple process of looking up on your Steam page on the top left hand side of the client and going to settings. You'll need this in a minute.
Step 2: Get your tracks (mp3 format only) and place them where you can find them on the directory, preferably something that won't turn up other results when you scan it. If this is a track by the same artist you can copy it into one of their already existing tracklists and the file will automatically re-list them and Steam will create a new album by the same artist when you scan it later on.
Example: I had the original GWBW soundtrack already scanned into my steam library, by fingerspit. I copied the alternative tracks into my folder with the original tracks and the they were automatically re-listed (Instead of being added to the already existing 18, they became 1,2,3, etc) and upon scanning Steam again, they were a new album.
If you don't have any other songs, just put the file of tracks into a place you'll find it in your steam music viewer later.
Step 3: Find and scan the file with your tracks.
Step 4: Wait and hope you did it right.
If this was confusing my apologies.
Step 5: Play using the library (check the dropdown box) or in-game, at your convenience.
