OpenSong Import

OpenSong Import is a small software application developed specifically for helping OpenSong users import songs with other file formats, including TXT, HTML, CRD, and MediaShout. It comes with support for several importing configuration tweaks so you can convert lyrics from multiple files at the same time.

This is a portable tool. You can store it on USB flash drives or other portable devices to have it with you all the time. You may run it without administrative privileges.

Gaining access to its features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no setup included in the process. It does not write entries to your Windows registry and leave other configuration files on the target PC. It actually saves the settings data on the storage device. Getting rid of it implies a simple deletion task of the files that you have downloaded from the Internet.

OpenSong Import implements all configuration settings into a single window. It may look a bit intimidating at a first glance due to the multitude of dedicated parameters. In case you cannot decode the program’s functions on your own, you can appeal to tooltips. Tooltips are displayed each time you hover your mouse cursor over a target parameter.

Files can be imported using only the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented). You can make the application read data from the clipboard.

OpenSong Import offers you the possibility to import a custom file and preview the information displayed directly in the main window with the aid of multiple lines. It takes a single click on a line in order to check out its full content in a dedicated window.

Batch actions can be employed for processing multiple files at the same time. What’s more, you are allowed to preview the OpenSong output in the primary panel and write songs to OpenSong.

Other notable configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to set the path of OpenSong songs, select a file format from a drop-down list (e.g. HTML, TXT, RTF, ChordPro), configure lyrics information (e.g. verse, chorus, pre-chorus, bridge, tag, minimum lines, and comment), as well as edit data about the title, author, copyright, theme, tempo, lyrics, and presentation.

All things considered, OpenSong Import comes packed with several handy features for helping you convert lyrics for multiple files using batch actions. However, the GUI cannot be descried as highly intuitive, so you need to invest extra time into learning to work with the application’s features.
