This page will guide you on how to import your own songs into Frets on Fire – the free guitar playing game!
Interested in finding out more about Frets on Fire? Read what I have to say about it here!
- Download Audacity (it’s a free audio editing software!) at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
- Load up Audacity, go to “Project” >> “Import Audio” and open your MP3 file
- Export your song as Ogg Vorbis: Go to “File” >> “Export as Ogg Vorbis” with the filename your_song_name.ogg
- Next, you’ll need a background track.

An easy method to create your background track is to lower the gain of your song. From the picture, pull the slider to the left to decrease the gain (-18 db is good for me) and once again export as Ogg with the filename your_song_name_bg.ogg.
- Put both of these files in their own folder under your Frets on Fire directory/data/.
- Now load Frets on Fire, and go to “Song Editor” >> “Import New Song”. Type in your song name.
- Next, select your_song_name.ogg as the instrument track and your_song_name_bg.ogg as the background track.
- On the next screen, you’ll see the fret. Now press the “Escape” key to access the menu, where you can estimate the BPM, set the artist name, etc.
- Setting the notes is just like playing the song in the actual game. Hold down the keys for the frets you want, and hit enter to strum. Hit “Spacebar” to start and stop the song. To manually input notes, press the “Enter” key while the song is not playing.
- When you’re done, hit “Escape” to access the menu, and save your file. Now go into “Play Game”, and try out your creation!
