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.

Whenever I add a song to my data folder Frets on Fire won't open. Please help!

[BlackFate]

You dont add songs to your data folder, your songs go into your songs folder, which is In the data folder.

And if there is no songs folder in that data folder, then make one.
