FoF having trouble reading .zip files

[adiadi]

Hey all.

I downloaded Frets on Fire, MFH mod, and all that jazz about a week ago, and it's been working great so far. However, when I go to download the 3 dragonforce gh3 dlc songs, they load in to the game fine, but every time I select one of those songs to play, the game freezes up, and I'm forced to end the program.
I also have noticed the occasional zip file does work (tdwdtg & ttfaf work fine), but I have to yet to find the gh3 chart of Operation Ground & Pound, Revolution Deathsquad, and Heroes of Our Time as a .rar file (these are working perfectly).

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, and if not, can anyone link me to one of the three songs I mentioned earlier, but as a .rar file?

Thanks in advance!

As Nathaniel607 has said you need to extract all songs that are archived ( ZIP or RAR ) fof DOES NOT, i repeat DOES NOT read zip or rar files.
Just extract the song, using something like winrar or 7zip , you should now have a folder ( probably with the name of the song ) and in it should be some files ( guitar.ogg, song.ogg, notes.mid, song.ini, and possibly a few others depending on the song) Once you have that folder with those files in, just copy/move it to your Fretsonfire/data/songs folder. Now load the game and the songs will be in the list.

that's not the problem, i'm not retarded, I know to unzip the files.. I've played plenty of games before that involve unzipping mods/addons and moving them to folders to use them in game.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, so I'll try again-
I unzip the files, move them to the data folder with the other songs, they show up in game, but when I try and play them, the game freezes on a black screen in between the selecting difficulty screen & the actual loading screen.

GH3 DLC never worked for me either.

Hmmm... you say you have MFH mod? Use FoFiX. MFH mod is basically the old version of FoFiX.
