I just installed the Pro version, and my first impressions are good. However, I do have a question about importing my old library, which I'll lead up to with a bit of background:
- I have a library of 1168 songs from the original MobileSheets app, many of which have associated backing tracks (I've been using MobileSheets since December 2012).
- I normally do backups without including the mp3 files, because those live in a separate directory on my tablet are backed up separately, outside of MobileSheets. I've been exporting the database (in the old version) as a way of preserving the links, but including the mp3 files themselves in a backup would make the already huge backup file much more huge (specifically, it would nearly double the size of the backup file, which is already over 2 Gb).
- I understand that MobileSheets Pro probably doesn't use the same database format as MobileSheets, and that's presumably why there's no 'import database' feature in the Pro version.
- ...but when I tried importing my MobileSheets backup in the Pro version, the songs were imported without the mp3 links.
So the question is whether there's a way to preserve those links without backing up and restoring the whole library with the mp3s included. Can that be done, other than by recreating them manually?
