If you don't know what to do with a .RAR file, or how to ADD DOWNLOADED SONGS to your fretsonfire, then-

With a .RAR file, you will need to extract the contents of it (usually a folder with a few files in, such as- song.ogg, guitar.ogg, notes.mid, song.ini, label.png).
To extract this, you will need a program such as WinRAR.
When you use it, it might eventually say something like-

Please note that WinRAR is not free software. After a 40 day trial period you must either buy a licence or remove it from your computer.

You do not need to buy it, and can carry on using it as much as you like, just close that message.

Once you have opened up the .RAR file with WinRAR, you can either click on 'Extract To' and then navigate to your fretsonfire songs folder, or you can extract it to your desktop, and then drag the folder that's extracted from it, into your fretsonfire songs folder.

If you extract the files, and they are not in a folder, then put them in a folder, and then put that folder into your fretsonfire songs folder.

(If you do not have a songs folder in your data folder, then you will need to create one.)

Once you have put the file in your fretsonfire songs folder, then all you will need to do is open up fof, and go to 'Play Game', if you have put the song in correctly, then it should appear in the list. If it does not appear in the list, then look in that songs folder, and compare that folder with other folders in your songs folder.

If you want it step by step-

1. Download the file to somewhere easy to find such as your desktop.
2. If you have WinRAR good, if not then you can get it here.
3. Extract the file straight into your fretsonfire/data/songs folder or right click it and choose extract here, and then open up your fretsonfire/data/songs folder, and drag the extracted folder into your songs folder.
4. If the extracted contents are loose (not in a folder) then you will need to put them in a folder.
5. Open up fretsonfire and go to play game, if done correctly, then the songs will appear in the list.
