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 is a two-step process:

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

Then the song must be opened and the import started. In doing so, the missing PDF file will be automatically generated.

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.

Select the MP3 file with the "..." button.

The title will be automatically populated with the file name, but can be changed freely.

Press "Save".

Press "Done".

Generate PDF File from the Text in the MP3 File

When you open the song for the first time afterward, and if SongBook+ finds text to import, you will be asked if you want to import the text. (The automatic import can be disabled in the settings.)

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

Press the "..." button with the song open.

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.
