Lists of songs
These are the lists of songs across the different releases of Dance Dance Revolution X. They are in release order, then sorted as the songs are organized and displayed in game (otherwise grouped by category and alphabetized). The songs with a padlock are not available in-game until certain conditions are met.

Course
This is the list of courses on the arcade version. There are 3 types of courses, CONCEPT COURSE, DRILL COURSE, and RANKING COURSE. The color indicates the difficulty played. The number next to the song refers to the song difficulties. Yellow represents Basic. Fuchsia represents Difficult. Green represents Expert. Purple represents Challenge.
Concept Course
The Concept Course is the usually-themed course from previous games. This is considered as a replacement to both Nonstop and Challenge modes.
