SongSelect Download File - Author and Copyright information are swapped when importing files.

7/6/2023

Applicable SongShow Plus Versions: 
This article applies to all versions of SongShow Plus using SongSelect Download File tool.

  * Updates correcting this issue may be available. Ensure that you are using the most current build of SongShow Plus from the Download page before proceeding. * 

Symptom:
When importing songs using the SongSelect Download File tool, the Author and Copyright information are swapped when the song is viewed or saved.  This may happen when importing using the SongSelect Download File  option. (892)

NOTE: As far as we know, importing songs directly from the SongSelect Online option in SongShow Plus does work as expected.  Users with an Expired subscription will not have this option available.

Possible Cause:
It appears that this information has changed location in the SongSelect source document when using the .txt format of the song file.

Possible Solution:
Edit the imported song to correct the swapped information.

Possible Solution:
Use the .usr format if available.  The .usr file format will not exhibit this issue and is the preferred selection since it has specifically defined fields and contains additional useful information about the song.

If the TXT format was used and previously downloaded, try downloading the source file again.  At last check, SongSelect downloads are only available in TXT format going forward.
