Mail of the Month - July - Local Music and Database Storage

Some new questions and comments, fresh from the mailbox: Where are all these files stored? Can I just go there and delete the ones I don't want all at once? I really like Fakebook allot. The only thing is, sometimes it downloads a whole book that's not labeled and to get rid of it I have to delete song by song. That takes forever! Sorry to say, but at the moment there is no way to delete a complete list (including the songs it consists of). This is something we have on our to-do list, so it will be implemented in an upcoming version though it is not yet scheduled. When importing a file each song is parsed individually (depending on format) and stored in a proprietary database. So, while it is possible to delete stuff from the database using external tools, it is not easy and not something we recommend or support.

Fakebook chord and lyrics editor

The Fakebook app contains more than 1600 chord charts, all carefully crafted and proofed. Still, you might want to modify the layout or change a chord to taste. Add or correct some lyrics. Or just add a new song or text. Now Fakebook Pro has a great built-in editor for both chords and lyrics. With a custom chord and symbol keyboard the editor is quick and easy to use, both for small changes and for adding new charts. The new version also includes an improved transpose function, editable and searchable comments and book names, along with other updates and fixes. Fakebook Pro version 2.5.0 is available now from Google Play and Amazon .
