Songs

'''WARNING: Do not add separate pages about each SM song on this wiki. This wiki is intended to be an informational SM wiki, so no fanon content, and putting a separate page about every SM song would cause this wiki to have more than 10,000 pages.'''

Songs are what you play in StepMania. Any song or audio file, as long as it's an mp3, ogg, or wav, can be turned into a song in StepMania.

Song Length
Most DDR standard songs are around 1:30 - 2:00 long. If a song is 2:30-4:59 long, it will be considered a "Long Version" and will count as 2 stages. If a song is 5 or more minutes long, it will be considered a "Marathon" and will count as 3 stages, which means on a normal 3-song set, this will be the only song you can play. Songs longer than 2 minutes and 30 seconds will not load on machines unless you use the ogg length patch which will trick the machine into thinking your song is 1:45 long and will make it playable.

Difficulty
Different difficulties are available in different slots. When you are looking through songs, you change change the difficulty of the song (if that specific songs will allow you to) by simply pressing up or down on your arrows. This way, you don't need to re-boot the game every time you want to change the level of difficulty you play. The more "foot" icons you see - the harder.
