yes play your music but it oversounds voice and any radio chatter. There should be a designated channel like SA had for PC where your music played without interupting cut scenes etc: But there isnt
Muse and radiohead were made for this game.

to get on the roof opposite the 1st safehouse so you can get to the armour on the bill board, drive round onto the nearest on-ramp of the road that's raised up (freeway?) to the north east of the safehouse, and halfway up it you can hop over the barrier on freeway off-ramp onto the roof next to it and jump across another roof or two to bring you directly above the billboard. that's where my problem starts tho, because every time i jump over i totally miss the walkway on the billboard where the armour is sitting and fall to the ground. it's not hard enough to kill you, but it sounds like it hurts. a quick hotdog fixes that tho, if you want to keep trying (so you can tell me how to do it!).
as for little jacob's first drop mission in the battered old car, the drop point is (assuming you follow the yellow directions on the gps is on the right down a small narrow alleyway just after you go under the freeway bridge. time is quite tight on these missions and it only take a tap of a cop car or some bad traffic or taking a corner badly to cock it up, so what I do is manually mark the destination myself on the map with my own GPS marker and that way, even if i miss the deadline the first time round and the yellow marker disappears i can still make it to the destination as a dry run so i know where I'm going next time for the retry.
ooh, there's also a grenade at the top of the first island where the 'monoglobe' is on top of the stand directly underneath the globe itself in the middle of the pond. VERY useful if you do the vigilante missions and just pick all the 'gang activity' missions as they quite often congregate closely together (i.e. in a gang
). just drive up and lob a grenade into them. then there's no more gang. 
talking of that kind of thing, if you have a 'hotspot' you need to get to where they are likely to be shooting at you as soon as you arrive, pull up with the handbrake so the car is side on to them with the drivers side away from the shooting so that you can get out with the car as cover and then duck down for cover behind it right away. duck and cover people!0 -

You can pick up armor on the roof of the building with the road works (can't remember the exact area
)outside it. There is a stairs all the way to the top, so it's easy to get too. 0 -

I got it by taking a helicopter from the bottom of Manhattan island whilst I still had the Jersey one locked, just fly around the locked island for a bit doing a bit of sightseeing and watching the cop cars drive around below you until you get the acheivement. Got the one for escaping the 4 star level by just entering the airport, which gives you 4 stars as soon as you reach the runway, then just head off along the nearest highway, in a car borrowed from the airport carpark, until the cops give up chasing you or you reach the pay-n-spray.

U have to blow them up so it goes on fire. Then the money falls out
i got fed up of shooting the thing and wasting all my ammo, so i just lobbed a grenade under the last one.
what happened to the fuel tank filler shooting trick? can't seem to find them on any cars now. i do seem to have more luck just shotting above the rear wheel, but it's a bit hit and miss.
ooh, ere's another one if anyone is interested.
if you sprint towards a bit of cover and then hit L1 you do a sliding tackle type thing like you see in baseball. kinda did it on purpose there a while ago.
also, now i'm on the main island i've started using a lot more taxi's and just taking a ride and looking around. i swear sometimes you could almost forget it's a game.
oh, and you can still change the radio stations in the taxi's too, when you flick stations the regular way nico asks the driver to change the station. he also seems to start boogying a little bit too if it's music. 0
