I used winRAR and have the folders unzipped and everything, but the songs won't show up in the game, even though the folders have the song.ogg, guitar.ogg, song, and notes.

What version of fof are you using?
Are you using any mods?
Are your songs in a songs folder inside the data folder?
What are the contents of their song.ini files?

There's a huge difference between being "computer literate" and knowing how to open a folder on your computer...
A folder is a place in your file system where you can put files.
Example of folder icons
To open "fretsonfire/data/song"
If you're using windows: open "My Computer" go on the drive you installed fretsonfire on (if you don't know where you installed it...try C:)
Once on your c drive, find the FretsOnFire folder, it is where you installed it (if you don't know where you installed it...try to look in the Program Files)
Once you opened the FretsOnFire folder, open the data folder.
Once you opened the data folder, open the songs folder
if there are no songs folder, create one (right click > new > folder)

Did you do it correctly?

What version of fof are you using?

What files are in your folder inside your songs folder?

What version of fof are you using?
Are you using any mods?
Does this happen with every song?
Did any error message come up?
What do you have in the fretsonfire text document in Start > Run > %appdata%/fretsonfire/ (Not the configuration settings file).

Ah, = full of bugs, it is recommended that you do this-

If you have a load of songs already and dont want to delete them, then move them out of the folder before you do this.

Delete your current fof,
Delete your fretsonfire.ini, and the fretsonfire text document (Start > Run > %appdata%/fretsonfire/)
Download this (full playable release of 1.2.451 with RF-Mod)- https://www.fretsonfire.org/cgi-bin....id97231
If you dragged your songs folder out, drag it into this,

Try that,

Mike.
