I’m trying to import all of our songs from Easyworship into Quelea. When I try, Quelea only looks for .MB files and not .db files. I’m not sure if I have some settings wrong or I’m looking in the wrong place. I looked at another topic with the same issue and it said that there should be both .MB and .db files but for the life of me I cannot find any .MB files. Any help will be appreciated.

Some of these file formats are a bit obscure so we have to do a bit of guesswork unfortunately! In the next 2020 beta version you should have the option to select that “Songs.db” file as well as the MB file.

I just wanted to inform you if you were not already aware. I got the latest update of Quelea and I tried to import our song database from EasyWorship. When I did it showed me the song database file but it still wouldn’t import. (See photos). I noticed in the import menu it’s now EasyWorship 2009 which is not the version we are using. Maybe that’s why I can’t import the database.

Hello LTM,  
Details and progress on this can be found at:

> The current EasyWorship importer is capable of importing the Paradox database of EasyWorship 2009.
