Guide To Making Your Own Song for Frets on Fire - *Freetar Editor Method For Making Songs*

[winniez]

open the file in notepad and fix stupid chars like & , space, ' , " inside your mp3 file path

[Jussi24]

Err.. should the file be mp3? I already converted it into .ogg. But I'll try that notepad thing, thx.

[Jussi24]

There was nothing wrong with the filepath, but it still won't work.

What I didn't mention earlier was this information it gave:

"Exception Name: class com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException

Sry for posting all that maybe worthles info, but dunno if you can make something out of that. Would be very helpful.

[winniez]

trust me, it's path problem

post your file if you want a proof

[Jussi24]

Well it actually was a file path problem after all. The program just didn't allow letters ä and ö in the file path. And i had both in my folder name.

Thx winniez!

[winniez]

;)

[cadenpolen]

[Simppi]

You can't make a song in the wrong tempo, now can you? :p

I think it's edit>song properties.
Its BPS tho so just divide BPM by 10

[ZcomHaven]

Is there an update for freetar or somthing because Mine only open .sng
files not ogg or anything else

[ZcomHaven]

I dont know if double posts are allowed but i figured it out

[garendoor]

I tried to click the links to get to Freetar, but it said it couldn't open. So I tried downloading the Java crap and it stilll doesn't work. What's up?

[garendoor]

Excuse my last post. It won't download in the first place. It says it can't download with the current Internet Proxy Settings. Anyone know what that is and how I can fix it?
