Hey... I am spending a bunch of time right now updating our MediaShout library to include all the songs in our Hymnal (United Methodist Hymnal) and a songbook from our denomination ("The Faith We Sing"). Doing all sorts of cleanup, confirming copyright and licensing information, etc. I have a whole separate machine here at home running MS so I don't mess up the working machine we have at church.
However... our church is still on MediaShout 3.5 . Yeah, it's old, but it does what we need and an update would be a few hundred dollars. Anyway: I have a request for somebody who is running a current or nearly-current version of MS. If possible, do the export as a Windows Standard text file, not Unicode, but I can convert if I have to.
Assuming such a thing still exists, could you do a "text file" export of a few songs into a text file and attach it here? I want to look at the format compared to what 3.5 is giving me to determine whether someone would be able to use my text export file to update a current version of MediaShout, should we decide to update it. Just see what fields it exports, how they are formatted, etc.
Thanks!
Charles

The attached file is an example of what a 3.5 text export looks like. One song; obviously, some of the coding I'm doing is specific to our church and the licenses we have...
