# How to add *Custom Songs* to *Vib-Ribbon* (emulator) [Versión en español](https://gitea.sergiotarxz.freemyip.com/germedeb/Luci-Blogpost/src/branch/master/Posts/Custom-songs-Vib-Ribbon/Custom-songs-Vib-Ribbon-ES.md) Hello! This is like the definitive tutorial of how to make an ISO+CUE file playable with vib-ribbon. BUT this can be useful if you want to simply make an ISO+CUE. I am writing this tutorial from Linux, but I think all the steps are the same for other operating systems including BSD, Windows, MacOS, and maybe android. First, I will show you the list of steps to follow: * Have the required programs * Export with audacity the audio * Make the CUE file * How to use it ## Required programs You need this pieces: * An audio we want to play * Audacity * A plain text editor * An emulator compatible with audio disks * The Vib-Ribbon rom ### Audacity First, run audacity and Click on `FILE` and then click on `OPEN`. Select your song. *In my case it's Future Eve by Sasakure.UK* then, click the `Frequency (HZ)` and then select `44100`.  Next, click on `FILE`, `EXPORT`, `EXPORT AUDIO` or just press `Shift`+`Ctrl`+`E`. Select *Other file formats without compression* and then select the header *RAW (header-less)*, and *Signed 16-bit*  Then export it to a some folder you want. *In my case, just for the tutorial, is* `~/Descargas/Future Eve/` ### The BIN+CUE part When it is exported, Rename the file format to .BIN. *in my case, the file is `FUTURE EVE.raw` and I will rename it to `FUTURE EVE.bin`* And make a CUE file with this content: ``` FILE "Name.bin" BINARY TRACK 01 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 ``` and replace `Name` with the file name. *In my case is `FUTURE EVE.bin`* with only one track per disk, I recommend to have the same name with different format, like this: ``` "FUTURE EVE.bin" "FUTURE EVE.cue" ``` but you can put them different names. ### Making a multitrack (multi BIN) disk If you want to play more than one track per disk, you can make a multitrack disk! #### Here is how: * Export the audio files (see ###Audacity step). * When naming, I recommend to put a numeration. here is an example:  * Edit the CUE file to include all the songs. [You can download and use this template](https://gitea.sergiotarxz.freemyip.com/germedeb/Luci-Blogpost/raw/branch/master/Posts/Custom-songs-Vib-Ribbon/multitrack-multibin-template.cue), It has the maximum number of tracks **Vib-Ribbon can handle.** * That's it. Just remember that **the maximum number of tracks is 26.** If you add more tracks, the game will **softlock** trying to load them. Note: the **Playstation bios CAN** handle more tracks. ### Game part Yay! you have a working BIN+CUE disk with your music! now we want to play it in vib-ribbon You must have an emulator compatible with audio disks. I don't know how to determinate this, but I tried PCSXR and it doesn't work. The best solution is Duckstation, that have a lot of features and It is super fast and Open source (GNU GPLv3). It is available on [flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.duckstation.DuckStation) and here is his [github](https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation) Then launch Duckstation, configure it, and then open the Vib-Ribbon ROM. go to the CD section  go to the single track and then change the disk     Now you can play your song!!!  ## Credits: [sys128](https://www.youtube.com/c/sys128) - He helped me to make my music work on Vib-Ribbon. ## Bye bye!
