- <font color="yellow">New DLC and Updates</font>
- Previously, the mod verified the user's DLC but that's no longer necessary because now the mod simply grabs the finalized list from a function created by OVERKILL that does that already. As a result, the playlists are dynamically created using the latest music list. This should allow the mod to be more compatible with future DLC updates without requiring the update manager.

<font color="orange">Q & A</font>
- <font color="#87CEEB">Menu and Heist Tracks?</font>
- The game has 3 different areas. The character menu, pre-planning lobby, and the Heist map. By default, the game only allows menu tracks to be played in the character menu and pre-planning lobby. Heist tracks as the name implies are tracks available only during heists. This is because during a heist there are different stages during assault waves and as such one heist track will have multiple music phases that will change based on assault stage.

- <font color="#87CEEB">What does Lock Music Event do?</font>
- Locking Music Event allows the music control mod to ignore the game's request to switch to a Heist music. The option was added for playing Menu music, but also useful if you wish to stay in a particular music stage or phase (i.e. Control, Anticipation, or Assault) when playing Heist music.

- <font color="#87CEEB">What do you mean by Music-Locked Heists?</font>
- They are heists that are unable to play other music and will play one song that is unique to that map. For example, the Alesso Heist plays only Alesso music and does not allow it to be changed or muted. With this mod however, you can change the music or stop the music for the entirety of the heist.

- <font color="#87CEEB">Does this mod change any game play?</font>
- No, this mod does not change any sort of game play. The purpose of this mod is to give users more control over their music and how they are played and does not affect game play.

- <font color="#87CEEB">Where can I get a previous or latest version of this mod?</font>

However, if you would like to use a previous version of the mod you can grab them by visiting https://paydaymods.com/mods/257/MControl. The archive will be listed on the left panel of the webpage. This may come in handy if you would like to roll back.
