How StepMania Loads Songs

All files for a specific song (data file, music file, banner, background) must reside in a single folder. This folder must have the following path:

     Songs/<group folder>/<song folder>/

For example, the song Discow Moscow may consist of the following files:

     Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow.sm
     Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow.ogg
     Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow-banner.png
     Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow.png
     Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow-movie.avi

StepMania supports the SM, DWI, BMS, and KSF song file formats. If the song file format is BMS or KSF, simply put all the KSF or BMS files into the song folder.

If a song file does not specify a valid banner file, StepMania first looks for a graphic in the song folder that contains the word "banner". If that search fails, StepMania will guess which image is most appropriate.

If a song file does not specify a valid background file, StepMania first looks for a graphic in the song folder that contains the words "bg" or "background". If that search fails, StepMania will guess which image is most appropriate.

If a song file does not specify a valid CDTitle file, StepMania will look for a graphic in the song folder that contains the words "cdtitle". If that search fails, StepMania will guess which image is most appropriate.

If there is exactly one movie in the song folder, StepMania will insert a background change to that movie at beat 0.
