Hello everyone!
I'm falling into a deep depression, because my FF7music program can't handle to select .mp3 soundfiles.
To be more specific, after I go to files section and choose a song to be changed (e.g aseri), a window appears to let me browse trough my folders. Right after I click on my mp3 folder and open it, the program used to:
a. crash and shut down by giving me the message "FF7music.exe doesn't work anymore."
b. crash and dissapear after 1 sec, without being in the taskbar anymore (so i need to restart FF7music.exe).
And it is always happening again, either it's a or b.
My minipsf files are working though. I can select and play with them without any problems.
I've tried to get it working now for 3 days already by looking for related posts, without any success, so i hope you guys can help me.

Ok lets give it another try to work (I'm pissed of allready
)!
Double-click on the ff7music.exe and the Text shows:

----------------------------------------------Hmm looks like there are alot of spaces between the lines...oh well.
Now I hit "configure"
Setup shows:

I change to Playback Options:

Mute midi = on

======================================================
and now my favorite part: FILES
No profile exists, so I push "add" and call it "
mp3r".
Thats the part I like most: I draw my courser to "
aseri" in the Song list and double-click.
A window shows up to let me choose a folder, so I browse from
FF7 main directory to the
ficedula and finally point my courser @ the mp3 folder.
I just double-click the mp3 folder and guess what happens?
FF7music.exe vanished. Gone! It just shut down with no sign of life left in the taskbar or the Task-Manager, not even leaving a crash report or something.
All I can do now is restart the ff7music.exe and retry.
Same old thing.
I can enter the psf folder without any problem, add the file, save and leave. But it wont let me go into the mp3 folder.
Now I try to delet all mp3 files, leaving only aseri2 left (by the way, the files are from the Final_Fantasy_VII_Remix_v2.4 patch).
Nothing changes!
Now before I select the mp3 folder again i past in the path below:
E:\Program Files (x86)\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\ficedula\mp3\
Nothing changed! Still shuts down.
Here I stand in dispair without any hope left for me to hear those great remastered songs Ingame.
What should I do?
Thank you for reading this post although it became a bit long!
