nice one. however, this is missing modified speech segments from radio (ones including licensed songs) as well as the original credits music

//EDIT: for a version including both modified radio speech and credits music see here: http://www89.zippyshare.com/v/Z1vg9ArR/file.html

Thanks for completing the files!

Thanks for music fix!
Can you tell is it multi-language or English version only?

english only. only relevant for the radio broadcasts tho, rest should be language-independent. if this is a problem, stay with the version from andreasmaureder, the music in the radio broadcasts are not that relevant (basically music plays, gets interrupted, newscaster speaks. in the cut versions the newscaster speaks directly, no music before that. so no big deal).

Why does anybody download executable files from unknown sources? Easiest way to get trojan horses or viruses...

Hmm... For Mafia II, also found this one: https://mafiamods.com/mods/mafia-ii-uncut-radio/
There is a link to a mediafire.com file that is about 740MB in size, a lot bigger than the zippyshare.com files...
I am going to check it out, at least. I've got a quality virus protection installed so I think I'm covered.
Hopefully it's not some stupid hack and it's alright to include it in the game...

The smaller file restores the songs cut from the game after release. The 740MB file adds songs that were cut from the game before release.

Okay... Thanks. Now I really don't know how to feel about it, starting to feel it that file might not be safe to share, legally.
I mean it's one thing to restore content to a game that later removed it, but those are songs that were meant to be in the release, but weren't - what does that mean from an end-user/gamer point of view... :)

Note: While music tracks played originally during driving sections may be restored, scripted tracks originally played during specific missions, appear not to be. E.g. the band on the boat during the mission 'Happy Birthday!' may appear to dance and sing but remain silent to the removed background track.

Does this method address this issue?

Thank you both for this tutorial and file repair. For me, the GoogleDrive was the faster download (6Mb/s vs 1Mb/s).

I recall watching Kilg0re_Tr0ut play this on twitch and knew I wanted to get this game. He mentioned the "music troubles" and so I looked for this post.

Thanks again :)
