There are multiple ways to import your songs into smartChord.

If your songs are in separate files with plain text, you can import the song files from your smartphone or your cloud. These can be files like cho, crd, chopro, chordpro, tab, txt.

If your songs are not in separate files or if they are in formats like PDFs or Word documents, rather than plain text files, you can import your songs via the browser of your computer.

Import song files

The import if song files is reachable in the Table of contents. It supports no PDF or Word files! Only plain text files like .crd, .tab or .txt are supported.

Our video leads you through the import process:

s.mart Online Songbook Importer

The s.mart Online Songbook Importer allows you to import new songs comfortably via the browser of your computer. You find it here: http://www.smartchord.de/song/import

We recommend using the Online Importer if your songs are not in separate files or if they are in formats like PDFs or Word documents, rather than plain text files. Just paste your song or songs into the text area. If you want to import multiple songs at once, separate the songs by a line with the ChordPro directive: {new_song}. If the name of a song isn’t defined by a ChordPro directive, the first line is assumed to be the name of the song. We recommend to build the name of a song from the artist and the title of the song separated by a colon “Artist – song name” (e.g. “The Beatles – All my loving”).
