Alright then. I guess I'll have to download BrawlBox if I were to edit any song titles.

For some reason, I m not getting an effect from this.
I placed the contents of this tool in my documents folder. Then, using the Custom Song maker GUI, I made a song.db and placed it within the same folder, ran ALSTT, and placed the resulting info.pac in the directory private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/info2.*
While I'm not running into any crashes or other concerns, there aren't any change to titles or elsewhere I hope I didn't somehow misinterpret the purpose of the tool, but is there any idea what this is?
*I also tried to manually update songs.db with notepad++ on a later attempt, but to no change.

For everyone in this thread, I wrote a tutorial on how to use BrawlBox to edit your info.pac and mu_menumain.pac files.

When I click the EXE, it makes a "alstt_out". Do I just rename it? That's what I'm assuming.

That's not what you put on the SD card. It's the info.pac that you move.

Lawlz people are so confused. Let me try to help.
At first when I did it, I foolishly used wordpad for the songs.db because notepad was ******** looking and didn't have everything formatted properly nor was it separated by lines. Needless to say it didn't work. For whatever reason, I don't really know. It would freeze upon starting the match right when the text was supposed to appear. After reading a few of the posts here I started over from scratch and decided to use Notepad++. I got lazy and decided the process would be a lot easier if I used Dantarion's other program to compile the songs.db file.
I named every single song in Brawl Custom Song Maker GUI (if you don't do every song you'll get a really dumb error that creates an empty songs.db file) and exported it as "songs.db". Checked the file in notepad++ and everything looked fine. Once again MAKE SURE you name every song in your SD card library (the right panel) in Brawl Custom Song Maker GUI.
I then put the songs.db in the ALSTT folder and ran the .exe. I copy/pasted the info.pac file into the specified folder and VOILA! It worked. Every single song that I changed worked. I have about 58 songs by the way. Randomed a few stages to test and they all showed up properly. No stupid freezing at the beginning of the match when the song should come up or anything like that.
If the songs aren't in your library in Brawl Custom Song Maker GUI (left panel) all the hard renaming work you did will disappear upon exiting the program. That shouldn't matter though because every song from here on out you can just edit the songs.db file directly for. For example. If a day later I hear a really cool song and I wanna add the title for it in game I won't use Brawl Custom Song Maker to compile the songs.db, instead I will just manually rename the songs with Notepad++. The only reason for using the Brawl Custom Song Maker GUI is because it's a lot easier when you're renaming a lot of songs. If you're just doing one or a few you can simply edit the songs.db file directly with Notepad++.
This is just my suggestion..I found this to be the easiest way for now, at least until Dantarion makes a newer version.

Notepad may work fine but the main problem with it is the formatting. Its a pain to work with, whereas notepad++ organizes everything really nicely and actually gives you numbers so you can manage a lot easier. But hey I guess it doesn't matter if you're just changing one or a couple of songs.

Look not 3 posts above you, for crying out loud, search the thread before you ask stupid questions

Alright, my suggestion for you is to just use BrawlBox to edit common.pac and menumain.pac. The song titles are located in MiscData7 and MiscData140, not sure which is in what pac, but it's much quicker and easier

It's actually the info.pac and mu_menumain.pac also use the defaultsong.db to find songs that you want to replace because the .db file is the same order as the MiscData

Bumping this.
I downloaded Notepad++, my info.pac is in the right directory (pf\info2\info.pac), I even updated Gecko OS, but this still isn't working for me.
I can upload my songs.db tomorrow to see if there's a problem. I only changed one song to reduce any title-related problems variables, and it has no special characters.

Alright, everything is working now. I used Brawlbox to alter the titles, and it worked. Thanks for your help Alphatron!
