Note: this is specifically for stepmania/openITG.
Sometimes I want to listen to music of packs for fun, and looking up the tracks one by one can be annoying.
idea: create youtube playlists based on packs - that way when you want to check out a pack but for some reason don't have access to stepmania/itg on hand (idk, browsing r21freak on mobile) you can just search up a playlist (in an ideal world)
Often when I hear stuff in a pack, it's music I don't know.
All it does is hop onto the youtube API and do a search using the metadata specified in the .sm file and grab the first result. So yeah, it can TOTALLY be wrong.
But usually it's not.
Check these out, for example:
- two errors as far as I can tell, out of 41 tracks?
Ninjafar's Insanely Cute Electronic Simfile Troop
- no errors as far as I can tell, out of 12 tracks?
