Songbooks

You can create different songbooks for different purposes, which are then assigned to Gigs to power the interactive features.

For example, you might have a "Full Repertoire" book with every song you know, a "Karaoke Hits" book for karaoke nights, and a "Jazz Standards" book for quieter gigs. Keeping these lists separate allows for maximum flexibility when configuring a gig.

Managing Songbooks

From the main Songbooks page, you can perform several actions:

• Create Songbook: Add a new, empty songbook to your collection.
• View: Click on a songbook to view and manage the songs within it.
• Rename: Change the name of a songbook.
• Duplicate: Create an exact copy of a songbook, including all of its songs.
• Delete: Permanently remove a songbook and all the songs it contains. This action cannot be undone.

Managing Songs Within a Songbook

After clicking "View" on a songbook, you can manage its contents:

• Add Song: Add songs one by one using a simple form.
• Import CSV: Use the "Import CSV" button to bulk-upload songs. Your CSV file must have two columns with the headers: Title and Artist. The importer will automatically skip any songs that are already in the songbook.
• Export CSV: Download all the songs in the current songbook as a CSV file.

Advanced Song Features

From the song list within a songbook, each song has a menu with several advanced options:

• Edit: Manually change the song's title, artist, and its metadata.
• Mark as "New": In the song edit dialog, you can check the "Mark as New" box. These songs will be sorted to the top of the audience page and feature a prominent badge to help them stand out.
• Analyze Metadata (AI): The "Analyze Metadata" button at the top of the page will have our AI agent analyze all songs that are missing data. It automatically fills in the BPM, genre, energy level, and mood. This data can be useful for other features, like the AI Queue Optimization.
• Copy to...: This allows you to copy the selected song (just title and artist) to one or more of your other songbooks. This is useful for keeping your master lists in sync.
• Copy Metadata to...: If you've manually edited or analyzed the metadata for a song, this option lets you copy just the metadata (BPM, genre, etc.) to matching songs (same title and artist) in other songbooks, overwriting what's there.
• Set Custom Prices: Set specific prices for song requests or karaoke signups for this individual song. These prices will override the default prices set in a gig's configuration, giving you granular control over your pricing.
