I need to open H2SONG old files from 2015. Can anyone help?

Hi! I have H2SONG files that I was working on back in 2015, but they won't play on the latest version of Hydrogen (they will open, but there's no sound when i press play). I can't find an earlier version that works. Can anybody please help me with that? Thanks in advance

Hey @sombra-11 ,

Sure. Can you upload the song file?

Thanks guys! I renamed it with .txt and tried to upload but I still get the same error message :(

I think you're right about the drumkit missing problem.

Could you put it into an archive? Both .zip and .tar.gz will do.

Thanks! I think that worked

Thanks! I think that worked

Just tried it and it loads fine with latest version 1.2.4.

The song expects the kit HipHop-2 to be present in C:/Users/eduardo/.hydrogen/data/drumkits/HipHop-2. The kit itself is still available via the online import. But since the song was created with a rather old version, Hydrogen can not fall back to the kit being located in a different location. The paths encoded in the songs have to match. So, you could either open them using an "eduardo" user or make a search-and-replace for the user name in all song using your favorite editor.

Thank you very much! Today I'm kinda busy, but I'll try that soon.
