Default Question in need of an answer

Basically, I have a situation.

For the past week, I've been stepping a song. I used audacity to trim the song so it is exactly 4:05. It occured to me that 4:09 had a better finishing touch than 4:05. Unfortunately, I'm already 1.8k steps into the song. I have one copy, and don't want to make any mistakes.

I'd like to know if I can replace my old song with the new 4:09 song without affecting my stepfile. I really do not wish to manually re-step the song on a new file. It would take far too long.

Any information would be great.

Thanks,
Destiny

Very easily. Delete the current mp3 in the simfile folder and replace it with the new one with the same name and reload songs.

If you cut only the ending of the mp3, basically you just need to replace the mp3 file.

If not, you just need to fix the gap.

As long as it's the exact same mp3 it should be fine. When you choose what song to edit in Stepmania, you find the song, which is the folder. So you just replace the mp3 in the folder.

Edit: Ugh, I should refresh before posting...

Thank you. At first, I thought this wasn't working. After 30 minutes of playing around with the folders and files, I realised that I didn't change the Mp3 name to the original file.

you also would need to reload songs/courses so that it updates. otherwise, it caches everything for quick loading.


AND... if you were really worried about something bad happening, you could always have copied the .sm/.dwi files and copied them to somewhere else on your computer. or email'd them to yourself. there are countless ways to back-up your stuff.
