My music won't show up in stepmania!

[1232321]

I have tried the manual method, as well as the stepmania tool method, but neither works. I have the music in .mp3, it was in a folder inside the music folder, but yet it still didn't work. HELP!!!!

[ChaosMaster]

Is there a .dwi or .sm in the folder? There needs to be.

Take note: You can't just put an MP3 file by itself in Stepmania.

A DWI/SM file is also required

I said I tried the manual method, meaning that I had made a .sm file in wordpad and filled out all of the info in the right way (number signs, colons, semicolons, everything). It does will not work.

Wordpad? Use Notepad.

I have tried both. I have tried with 3 different computers, one with windows2000, the other two with xp. I have tried different file types, i have tried taking my song and putting it in another working song's file and changing the notepad file to make it work. Nothing works

I told you, I tried the manual method. I already followed that tutorial exactly as it is written. I tried it 3 times over. The songs simply won't show up in the game.

Maybe the music's bit rate is too high?

Did you actually create steps to the song, or did you just follow the outline in the first post only (which does not include anything on how to make the steps)? The songs won't appear if there aren't any stepcharts in the simfile.

You really shouldn't be getting hostile to people who are trying to help man... imagine that...

and for the record... if all your try's are failing... try copying an already existing .sm and change the info (especially the song location part including the song extension part) which is what a lot of people forget to do...

Providing screenshots would help

uhhh.... I said i did that already.
And to the person who said i needed to make steps, it is hard to make steps to a song when the song wont show up in the editor.

I'm really skeptic if you did the right way. I bet there's still something wrong.
