Importing from OpenSong

Converting from OpenSong, you will need to locate your songs database. In the

|
later versions of OpenSong you are asked to define the location of this. The
|
|
songs will be located in a folder named :guilabel:`Songs`. This folder will
|
|
contain files with all your songs in them, without a file extension. (file.xxx).

|
the folder.
