How do you music hack and what programs do you need? I noticed there are no tutorials on this.
I'll tell you how I make mine:
Find a song you want on YouTube, go to www.youtube-mp3.org, paste the URL of the song in the box, convert it then download it.
Then open the song in Audacity and save it as a .wav (File > Export as WAV).
Go in BrawlBox and click File > New > Brstm Audio Stream.
You will now be prompted to loop the song, so find two similar points in the song to create a seamless loop.
Keep that open and open up BCSM-GUI. Import the .mp3 song into it, then convert it to a .brstm in BCSM-GUI. In its queue, it will give you the option to set a loop beginning and end; just copy and paste the ones in BrawlBox into here and then convert it.
Now just move it to your SD card -- BCSM-GUI will give you a list of all the songs in the game, and you can just choose from that list what you want to replace.
How do I get BCSM-GUI? I can get .wav files right from my CDs using Windows Music Player thing no problem but can I just use the MP3s that I already have?
Instead of BCSM-GUI try using brawlbox for brstm making as it's more user-friendly and can use .wav files instead of .mp3s
...there's a tutorial in the Music Hacks section of the board.
Can I listen to what I'm working on in BrawlBox?

Well I used to use BB but I was told it outputs to bad quality while BCSM doesn't, thus why I use BCSM now instead of BB.

Yeah; you're able to do this while looping the song, too.

You do know you can use BB to find the loop points then transfer the loop point over to BCSM right?
Get the best of both worlds :af2:

Yeah I said that already in this thread lol read my first post.

Now I need step by step instructions on how to use BCSM-GUI.
Ok, I have gotten a .wav file for the song I want to do but when I try to open it in Brawl Box it has this error message and I can't listen to it or even work on it:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignor this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Value does not fall within the expected range.
What do I do? I have tried to ignore the problem but as I said, I can't get it to play or edit.

I've never gotten any kinds of errors when I imported my .wav files in BrawlBox. What version are you using? Did you open the .mp3 in Audacity and converted it to .wav?
I'm using BrawlBox v0.63d and a Windows music ripping device that will make the format of the ripped song in .wav.

Try using www.youtube-mp3.org. Copy the URL of the song on YouTube you want, paste it in the box on YouTube-mp3's site, click convert, then download it. Use Audacity to export the .mp3 as a .wav, and then try that. Just try it to see if it freezes -- I'm not saying you have to forever use this method, it's just what I use and I have no problems.
It finally worked but I exported my ripped music using Audacity then it worked just fine in BB. But now it won't loop where I told it to.

You set the loop points in BrawlBox but it won't loop for you? It should loop; I'm not sure why it won't for you.
I got that to work now and I have my first music hack but it won't work in Brawl, could I have renamed the file wrong? I'm trying to replace Final Destination with it to test it and I'm naming it just X05.
Where do I get the Info_en.pac and mu_menumain_en.pac?
Audacity enables you to create your music files. BrawlBox enables you to make your BRSTM files, by importing your .wav file.
On a side note, Brawl's BRSTMs use a 32000 Hz sample rate. Be sure that your music hacks use that sample rate to avoid erratic behavior risks.

Info_en.pac (http://www.mediafire.com/?tykkxonyyzz).
Can't find a download for mu_menumain.pac so I'll just give you mine, but it has some edited stuff on it. mu_menumain.pac (http://www.mediafire.com/?b3l99oi79rkrh0r).
How do I change the frequency in BB or do I have to do that in Audacity? I changed the frequency in Audacity but it's not the same that comes up in BrawlBox.
Every spec is right now why the hell won't it work?!
well this how I do it,
just BB
then
new audio stream
set loop points and make sure the 'loop checkbox' is checked
then save it as brstm and rename it to a song you want, so X05
maybe you didn't check the loop checkbox orsomething, or you just saved it wrong
I recommend Goldwave to make your .wav files.

Don't you have to pay for that?

Well, the free version has all the features of the full version, but after a certain amount of edits, a box pops up telling you that you've reached the max amount of edits. You can always quit and go back in to reset it, but that would be annoying.
or you just crack it :P
