This mod attempts to implement a stable GNR songlist extender. Three Dog's available songs have been expanded while retaining the original 20 song tracks in rotation.
Three Dog's dialogue bug, which occurs if you level past 20, has been fixed.
In addition, the song memory list has been increased to prevent tracks from repeating too often. The issue of Three Dog repeating old news about certain quests already completed by the player has been fixed.
[S] Standard Edition: Songs played until Three Dog begins speaking again has
been increased from 3 to 6.
[C] Classic Edition: Songs played remains at 3.
This mod does not include the mp3/wav files you need to extend GNR's song
library. Those will be user supplied.

6) Rename the file as mus_generic_swingdoors_mono.wav
7) Place renamed files in folder ...\Fallout 3\Data\Sound\Songs\Radio\Licensed
*See Helpful Files section below.
Preparing your audio files
--------------------------
GNRFixedExtended requires a certain number of audio tracks to function properly.
Please select the correct version to accomodate the number of MP3s you wish to
play.
Prepare your audio files as described below. "x" denote optional steps.
1) Collect your MP3 tracks to be used.
2x) Set MP3 quality to CBR, 128kbps, stereo, 44kHz.*
3x) Set volume normalization. 93.5db will match GNR's original songs.**
4) Place stereo MP3s in folder ...\Data\Sound\Songs\Radio\GNR
5) Run "MP3 TrackX Namer.BAT". Please note that this step is irreversible. You
cannot undo this step. This will rename your MP3s in the correct format for
GNR. Only run the BAT file once you are sure you want to proceed.
6) Create mono MP3 files of your renamed tracks. CBR, 96kbps, mono, 44kHz.*
7) Create WAV files of your renamed tracks. 176kbps, 16bit, 11kHz, mono.*
8) Place "Mono Extension Adder.bat" in same folder as mono MP3 and WAV folder.
Make sure this folder does not include your stereo MP3 files.
9) Run "Mono Extension Adder.bat". If you need to undo this step, please run
"Mono Extension Remover.bat".
10) Place mono MP3 and mono WAV files in folder ...\Data\Sound\Songs\Radio\GNR
11x)Check to make sure you have 3 files for each track you wish to play.
For example: Track01.mp3 | Track01_mono.mp3 | Track01_mono.wav
12x)It is recommended that you delete the three BAT files which were included
with this file, in order to prevent accidental usage.
*See Bitrate Information section below.
**MP3Gain can accomplish this. See Helpful Files section below.
