Help with importing music

[Ryan555]

Well I thought I'd come here after I've tried everything else. I'm trying to install my own songs to replace the current ones. I only care about changing the menu songs, the others I can live with. I downloaded both the Ditty Importer and LocLook and followed everything from the faq. I was able to change the song titles, album titles, and artists with LocLook but every time I try to import my own songs it just reverts back to the original songs with MVP 05.

I've tried renaming them "menu1.asf" and so on and so forth but still no luck. I deleted the previous ones as instructed in the faq and it just reverts me back to the old mvp 05 songs. I've looked up every possible solution, be it searching through numerous forum pages or the faq.

Any help would be appreciated and I love the site.

Oh and a side note I'm running the newest MVP 08 WS mod.

I'd put money on a guess that you're deleting files from the wrong folder. If the file isn't there, it can't play.

Do a search of your hard drive for files named menu1.asf. If it turns up more than 1, you have 2 install directories, and are either deleting the file from the wrong folder, or running the wrong .exe.

Also, remember that the files you want to use have to replace the ones you've deleted in the same folder.

I deleted the ones located in C:Program FilesEA SPORTSMVP Baseball 2005dataaudiocdmusic so I don't think that's it.

And the desktop shortcut I assume you're running MVP from, is that definitely running in C:Program FilesEA SportsMVP Baseball 2005, with the .exe file being C:Program FilesEA SportsMVP Baseball 2005mvp2005.exe?

It sure is, I think I figured out the problem. When I was re-naming all of the songs to "menu1.asf", the .asf never took thus making the whole file name "menu1.asf" instead of just menu1. When I deleted the .asf from the name, the songs I wanted played. I think it worked because the original songs (the ones that came with the MVP 08 WS mod) were named menu1 and so on and not menu1.asf. It could be worth passing on to whoever made the faq so people don't have the same problems I did.

Or maybe I just got lucky and you do have to leave the .asf in the file name.

Thanks for your help though.

...and that is why one of the first things I do after an OS reinstall is show the file extensions.

So yeah, your files that weren't working were named menu1.asf.asf. Removing the .asf part made it menu1.asf, as it should be, which is why they now work.

Glad you got it working. :)
