How the Media Player and sticks work
The Media Player is a customizable station in GTA Online. It only plays music from sticks you have collected in Los Santos, and only one stick can play at a time. Pick the active one from the Inventory section of the Interaction Menu, or select the Media Player from the radio wheel when you enter a vehicle. Each stick can hold EPs, mixtapes or live recordings.
The black Dre stick
Of the three Contract sticks, the black one is tied to the story. You need to complete the Dr. Dre contract before it can be found; see Career Progress – The Contract VIP: Dr. Dre for how that run works.
The original five sticks
Four of the first five sticks are CircoLoco Records EPs, named Blue, Green, Violet and Black. Collecting all four unlocks the CLR Launch Party mix by Seth Troxler and the CircoLoco Tee. The fifth is a personal mix from Moodymann called Kenny’s Backyard Boogie.
Bonus: the Chop Shop stick from DJ Pooh
The Chop Shop update added one more stick, a DâM-FunK mixtape called Even the Score tied to West Coast Classics. An email from the station explains the hunt, and calling DJ Pooh gives a clue pointing to one of five possible spots on the map. The clues mention the Observatory wall, a kiosk near the rides by the shore, the roof of Maze Bank with the Vinewood sign as proof, Premium Deluxe Motorsport, and a porch on Grove Street.
