Some of the songs I try to play show up in the menus, but when I select them, it says "LOADING" then goes back to the song selection menu.
This has happened with a few songs, but I just downloaded obzen's fretting of "Crack the Skye", the full album by Mastodon, and it does it with all the songs:
Each song's folder has:
album.png
guitar.ogg
notes fof.mid
notes.eof
notes.mid
notes.mid.backup
ps.dat
song.ini
song.ini.backup
I've compared this to the folders of songs that do work, and I've deleted everything but guitar.ogg, notes.mid, song.ini, and album.png, but it still won't work. I've tried deleting certains combinations of the files and nothing has worked.
When I open FoFix and try to navigate to one of the songs, and select it, and it just brings me straight back to the menu, this is what the log says:
[ 12.476000] (D) Retrieving sections from: C:\Users\Brett\FoFiX\data\songs\Mastodon\(Album) Mastodon - Crack the Skye (2009) (PRO)\07 - The Last Baron (PRO)\notes.mid
[ 12.687000] (W) Song.py: Unable to retrieve section names for practice mode selection: MidiSectionReader instance has no attribute 'sysex_event'
[ 12.688000] (E) Cannot retrieve start position!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "SongChoosingScene.pyo", line 250, in run
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
Is there any way to fix this?

Re: Songs not playing
Try opening the song.ini with notepad, and delete every line (that's probably only 1) that has 'sysex' in it. That might work, though I'm not 100% sure.

Re: Songs not playing
Rename "notes.mid" to "notesold.mid" and rename "notes fof.mid" to "notes.mid".

Re: Songs not playing
The patch to FoFiX to allow it to ignore Sysex events was supposedly added to the code over 7 years ago, but it's not obvious they ever released another build?

You'd be better off switching to either Phase Shift or Clone Hero.
