If your songs come out really small (like 10kb instead of 10mb), then something went wrong and they wont work in game. Re-encoding the MP3 file usually works. You can do this manually with the freeware Audacity, or you can use dBpoweramp Music Converter to reencode them as a batch.
Your songs must be named with the artist and song name, separated by a dash. If yours aren't, you can rename the MP3s using MP3Tag.
- Navigate to your THUG Pro install folder (usually "%LocalAppData%/THUG Pro")
- In the user folder, drag and drop the .sound.json file generated by the program.
- Drag the folder with all of the sound files
