New to StepMania

Ok, I just downloaded StepMania 4.0 and I have no songs. I thought I would fix it by downloading one of the song packs. My problem is still no songs show up and all I get is roulette. If you know what my problem is, I would be glad if you could put it into simple terms.

Ok, I guess it's time to remove 4.0 and get 3.9. I'll let you know it this solved my problem.

EDIT: I think I need to connect the song pack I got to the StepMania 3.9 that I have. Just have no clue how or what to do.

I have absolutely no clue what you are saying. What does unzip mean? How do I see if it's a .smzip file?

Better yet, get WinRAR (can open all archive file types) and open the file in that, whatever it may be. If the first thing you see is a general mix folder containing lots of song folders (eg. Dance Dance Revolution 1st Mix), extract it to ..\Stepmania\Songs\. If you see all the individual song folders at first, locate ..\Stepmania\Songs\ and add the name of the mix they are to go in, and WinRAR will create the mix folder for you, and extract the song folders there.

When all is said and done, every song should be set up like this:

..\Stepmania\Songs\NAME OF MIX\NAME OF SONG\

I still can't get the songs into the right format. I made them a .smzip from the WRAR 360. If there's something that I'm missing (and it will be stupid), let me know.

I've gone through that process many times. It never works.

EDIT: I'm trying to have someone else fix/install whatever I need from connecting to my computer. Hopefully this works since I can't mess anything up.

If you downloaded the pack from DDRUK, check the FAQ forum for the 'how to download and install songs' article that I wrote. DDRUK uses torrents for their songpacks which are a little more complex but still easily understood.

most of these instructions are extremely clear... if your are able to go on the internet and download a file you should be able to understand them. i can't think of a way to put it more simply.
