File Formats
The following file formats are supported by Spirit City: Lofi Sessions. If your audio file is NOT one of these, I recommend converting it to one of the supported formats. Conversions can be done using audio programs like Audacity or one of the many questionable free file converting sites out there.
  • .mp3
  • .wav
  • .ogg
  • .flac
Creating and Selecting a Root Folder
The way Spirit City's local importer works is by selecting a root folder on your computer. What this means is it'll take a look inside whatever folder you select, and use the folders inside of that folder to make the albums you can select in-game.

Simply make a folder, then make how many other folders you want inside of it for how ever many albums or playlists you want to make, then put your music inside those subfolders.



Once you've created the root folder, select the Custom tab in the Music Player and then click Select Custom Folder at the bottom left of the player tab. Navigate your PC to find the folder and select it.

Putting the Track List in Order
If you want your tracks to play in a certain order, you will need to add numbers at the start of the file's name corresponding to the order they should be played in, otherwise the tracklist will be sorted alphabetically. This must be done in a format of 01, 02, 03, ect. otherwise, this will happen:


When done right, it should look like this:

Cover Art
Custom cover art can also be put onto local music playlists! If the subfolder lacks a cover image, it will simply display the default Hamstereo image.


To make a cover image for your playlist, take a single image file and place it inside the subfolder for that playlist. The following formats are supported: .png and .jpg.

The cover art display itself is 600 (height) x 338 (width), roughly 2:1. Any image size can be used, but it will be stretched and distorted to fit the display. Here's a good example of what a custom image with proper sizing looks like:
