Broken Radio, anyone?

Turns out that you suffer from a local problem. See for yourself if you wish.

Yep, the radio's suck somehow massive.
The radio upgrade "wire house" is more a downgrade, imo. My sims used to be able to sleep in their bedrooms with the living room radio playing. I'd think I would prefer putting a desktop radio in every room, keeps it realistic, offers more variety, isn't unfairly expensive.
I had a graphical bug yesterday which ceased after restarting game. The right speakers sound wave was twice as large as the normal left. (or 4 times as large, depending on your dimentional perspective.) Just wierd that an effect (particularly one that isn't a 'unique instance') would blow up.
I think I have a broken mp3. One custom song always stop at the same point about 75% complete. I'll start investigating now. Edit: Yeah, there's a skip when I play it in another player. Too bad the game just drops it though. At least it tries, I guess.
My Sims have the Heavy Sleeper trait so they get the benefit of having the radio on while they sleep. Very handy!

Good tip.

It was me, Lorelei ;)
I have taken to turning off the stereo and throwing it in the family inventory before changing lots for now, and that has been working fine.
Other little tidbits:
Custom music playlists can be swapped in the custom music folder in-game, and will automatically notice the new mp3s. If you can't delete any of your old mp3s (file in use), just wait a few minutes since it is being played on another stereo. Yes, this means if you get sick of the current songs, you can change them without having to exit the game! This is a great feature, IMO.
If you delete all music from the custom music folder, the game will auto-generate the default songs so the custom station actually has music. Boring, but useful.

Bump!
OK, so I recently started having the silence problems. No build/buy tunes, no stereo tunes. Am I correctly understanding that this is due to stereos on lots of unplayed families? I never realized that this would even be a big deal, but somehow it is. The silence irks me.
So the fix is to delete stereos or place them in family inventories? For the entire hood?
