Topic: Songbook
I've logged in gone to songs selected a song and clicked "add to song book" then it tells me to log in and when I do AGAIN the song won't go to my song book. What am I doing wrong?

The answer may be here: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=31751
Personally I don't keep a songbook here, but rather on my local drive. That way I don't have to be connected to the Net to have all my music at hand wherever I may be.
Welcome to Chordie by the way !!

I'd like to that. How'd you do it?

Jim, Well I just made a folder in my Documents labeled Sheet Music to start with, and added folders to that sub-directory (a folder for each artist/band) and when "gathering songs" I choose Print to File and select .pdf as the finished file type. Once there on the local drive, it is easy to use the "search" feature to locate songs within the main directory by title (providing you use the title as the "save-as" filename & include sub-directories in the search criteria).
You can copy each song to a separate folder for "set lists" or whatever, and copy that to a thumb drive and stick it in your guitar case when heading out for a gig. Any device with a charged battery and usb port will let you display the tunes to share or whatever. Not much out there that won't open a .pdf and display it properly and no web needed !!

Kinda " old school..... but then I'm a Old Guy" and just too old to be carrying that backpack full of binders full of paper in addition to the rest of my gear. Not anti-Tech, but out here on the "edge of Civilization" power and cloud are not always available (not to mention when I go out of town there are few people and fewer cell towers).

Re: Songbook
I use evernote for the very same reason - instantly available on all devices. plus you can tag and categorize songs (artist, genre, decade, etc) to instantly filter and create dynamic set lists.
