All of the gangs in the game have favored radio stations. The station that plays when the player gets in a car is fairly random (and can be changed or switched off if desired), but there are certain factors that will make the 'choice' lean certain ways, such as the area the car is in, the type of car, and if it is a gang's signature car. Other stations, however, use music licensed from various record labels this combination differs from those of the game's predecessors, which featured entirely original soundtracks. Where music has been created by Conner and Ross, a fictional band is credited to the song, and often the name of the band or the music itself is a parody of a well-known artist's style. Most of these tracks were written by Craig Conner and Stuart Ross, often with vocals and performances by other musicians. Some stations feature songs that were written specially for the soundtrack (or in some cases for the soundtracks of previous games in the series).

The stations each reflect one style of music intended to evoke a certain atmosphere. Most radio stations play a mixture of music, DJ chat, and spoof advertising.

In the game, music is played on various 'radio stations' which the player can listen to after a car has been acquired. The soundtrack of the game Grand Theft Auto III has found popularity outside the game's fanbase.
