Im not great with computers, but hopefully some one can help. I just got FOF and when I go to Tune Tradin to download a song, i save it in songs and appempt to open it. Unfotunatly, all that comes up is a windows media player icon next to the song in my songs folder and when I click to play it I recieve a pop up that says it cannot be played. All my other songs have are in their own folders in my songs folder with a guitar.ogg, song.ogg, and "notes" with the windows media player symbol next to it. I assume al my computer is downloading is the "notes", not the ogg. What am I doing wrong? I hope this made ANY sense.

it says it is an RAR file and when i try to play it it says:

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."

^whatever that means

I'm feeling in a good mood so I'll help you out.. even though this has been answered lots and lots and lots and lots of times already

a rar file works the same as a zip file... you will need a program to unzip (or more correctly unrar) the file.. several are available..

eg winrar, izarc, 7-zip

choose one of these... install it, extract the contents of the rar file into a folder within your songs directory.
My custom songs can now be found in the one place:-Homerrulz Song Thread

....You tried what it said in the FAQ?
Are you sure???

Q: How do I add songs into FoF?

A: Download a track, this will usually be in *.rar format
Extract the *.rar file, and almost always, the files song.ogg, guitar.ogg, song.ini and notes.mid will be in a folder. If this is not the case then put them in a folder.
Place this folder inside the FretsOnFire/data/songs/ folder and your song will now appear in your song list.

Q: How do I extract folders in .zip or .rar format?

A: A good program to extract those files is winrar which you can find here
