    Cancel Song loading?

    I hate it when you are in MP and you accidently load the wrong song, or something along those lines, basically, you can't do anything about it... (except, I found that entering challenge or FFR Shop and leaving works. But then the settings reset.) so maybe a button that cancels loading of song. Also, The Song ABC list needs something, Because, some songs aren't in there sometimes, and I have to nav' for them in MP.

    Totally agreed on everything. It's annoying as hell to have to refresh the browser when you load the wrong song in mp.

    post-dumps abstractly represent the existential nihilism that the song invokes in the listener with negative space, evoking the ephemeral nature of the mind - the journey of stepmania begins in hope yet soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of futility, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis

      This is a sacrifice that has to be made to circumvent a somewhat more prevalent glitch.

          If this gets implemented, then it will also allow us to cancel loading songs in singleplayer, which is definitely needed since I often accidentally load the wrong songs and I'm forced to wait.

            Am I the only one who thinks that this has been suggested multiple times before?

                    People used to be able to cancel a song, and select another song - however, doing so resulted in a glitch where the game thinks you are playing the first song, but you are really playing the second song under the first song's name. After you finished playing the second song, the game would record the score, but under the first song's stats instead of the second. For example, someone would choose Excite Bike, cancel that, and play BB Evo instead. Then they would have something like 2000 combo recorded for Excite Bike, and the score would have to be deleted. Believe it or not, a lot of people took advantage of this glitch to get higher scores on certain songs. This is why the ability to cancel a song load was taken out. I hope that makes sense.

                      There was also the relation to the secret song glitch, where one can select any song on the 2nd and 3rd pages if they had all the songs on the 1st page+1 song on the respective page. Example: Force of Light -> Water Like Pudding -> Lawn Wake IV or something like that.

                        If you load the song using the Song Select button, you go into Challenge or FFR Shop then exit. The song you loaded up should be unloaded and you should be able to load another song of your liking. Just remember to reset your speed mod to whatever you had it.

                        Though make sure that you load your songs initially using the Song Select Button not Genre Select, Otherwise this wont work.

                          This is totally unrelated. You didn't need to load a song to do that.

                            I remember being able to cancel songs and then play another one and get that score.

                            Too bad I sucked so much then that I couldn't get a good enough score on anything.

                            That, and I never realised I was doing that until this very moment.
