What Operating System is your computer using? What path is it trying to save the song.ini to? If you're using Windows Vista or higher and trying to save anywhere within the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders, the security features in Windows will block write access to those folders by default.

i am running windows 7 home premium. the folder/library that the song folder is located at is libraries\joey\phase shift custom songs\song. i have a feeling that i am in the wrong spot though. the song.ini generator doesn't tell me were it is trying to save, it just says generated successfully. i am not in the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders. would it only work there? please pardon any nooby mistakes as i have no idea what i'm doing, and its also like 1.00am where i'm at .btw, i am not on a phase shift pc, i am using my notebook laptop, as my phase shift pc is a desktop, so i don't have the folder with all the phase shift thingamajiggys.

You could try starting the INI generator by right clicking on the program, selecting run as administrator and then clicking yes when prompted whether to allow it to make changes to the computer. Then if it still doesn't save the INI files you can rule out any of the permissions problems related to the security feature I was talking about.

Or if you get REALLY stuck, you could just do the ini file by hand. its just a text file, you can load any other ini file, look how its made, change the relevant parts like Artist/song name and just resave it. its no different to saving a notepad txt file, in fact notepad is the easiest way to manually create the ini files
