From MP3 Files

SongBook+ can import lyrics from MP3 files if they are included in an ID3 tag in the "Lyrics3 v2.00" format.

Chords can also be imported from MP3 files if they are included in the lyrics in square brackets (similar to the ChordPro format).

Importing lyrics from MP3 files involves two steps:

First, a song must be created that uses the MP3 file.

Then, the song must be opened and the import started. This will automatically generate the missing PDF file.

Add Song without PDF File and Select MP3

Link song with MP3 file

Press “Edit”.

Press this “+” button to add a song without a PDF.

Use the “...” button to select the MP3 file.

The title will automatically be filled with the file name, but it can be changed as desired.

Press “Save”.

Press “Done”.

Generate PDF File from Text in MP3 File

When you open the song for the first time and SongBook+ finds text to import, you will be asked if the text should be imported. (Automatic import can be disabled in the settings.)

Alternatively, you can start the import manually as described in the following steps.

While the song is open, press the “...” button.

Select the menu item “Import lyrics from MP3 file”.

Confirm that you want to import the text and overwrite the PDF if it already exists.

If the menu item “Import lyrics from MP3 file” is not active, the MP3 file does not contain the text in the supported format.
