From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grand Theft Auto 2 soundtrack is provided by each area featuring five radio stations from a pool of eleven, in which one of them would be played as the player drives most vehicles in the game. Changing radio stations for preference was also possible in the Windows PC version: Next was the "F1" function key while previous was the "F2" function key and in PlayStation Version, hold Up button." "Head Radio" was present in the original GTA, Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Each gang also has its own radio station that transmits within a limited area.
