This article holds info about existing tools to extract or modify the data of the Touhou Project games.
All of the tools are built for Windows only, however some have source code included and therefore it might be possible to get them to work on other platforms.

Players
- thplay - 東方蓄音機 (Touhou Gramophone) (Japanese)
- bgmforall - BGM For All Version 1.1 By 野风信子 (Chinese)
- FBPLAY - A player that supports a wide range of games including TH06-TH11. Unofficial versions support up to TH13.
Title files
There is a common format for files that store information about BGM names and their positions in thbgm.dat files. The usual naming convention is titles_thXX.txt. Note that older versions of software may not fully support TH13 title files due to the reduced sample rate for spirit world versions in that game.
Here are some sources of these files:
- The download page for Thbgmextractor includes a collection of links to title files.
- 東方シリーズ用ツール has th06, th07, th07.5, th08, th09, th09.5, th10, th11, th12, th125, th128, th13, th14, th11 trial, th12 trial and th13 trial. (Some of those may have incorrect looping offsets)
- 東方シリーズ曲入れ替えツール has an alternative list for individual wav bgm files, extracted from data file using a ripping tool (th06 to th10).
- あま茶の多アカ的思考 has files for th13 trial, th13.
- 迷い家の白猫 Blog has files for th14 trial, th14, th143, th15 trial, th15, th16 trial, th16, and releases new title files shortly after the corresponding game release.
- Title file for TH13 (alternate source)
- Title file for TH14 trial (alternate source)
- Title file for TH14.3 (alternate source)
