2022-03-27 17:02:23 +0000 UTCRegarding Gran Turismo 7: you can turn off specific songs from the in-race playlist, but not the Menu music (not that you'd want to anyway)! https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/fyi-you-can-turn-off-individual-songs-from-the-menu.405666/ But honestly, I just use Spotify's PS5 integration to play music during races if I really want it. And there are some great playlists out there with Gran Turismo-flavored fusion, like: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2DjP8C8KHr0ISpnq33mVU8?si=8ab90d3f66414a99
