Files We Actually Bothered to Support

OnSong is basically your digital jukebox for literally any music file format you can think of. No, seriously — we support SO many formats it's kinda ridiculous. Click on whatever confuses you & we'll try to explain it without puttin' you to sleep.

Text-Based Files (aka The Good Stuff)

OnSong loves text-based chord charts & lyric sheets. Like, it's not even a competition — this is where OnSong actually shines. We natively get these formats. Revolutionary, right?

• OnSong
• OnSong Archive
• ChordPro
• Plain Text

Converted Files (aka We'll Translate Your Junk)

These formats are technically text-based, but OnSong doesn't speak their language natively. No worries tho — we'll convert 'em for ya when you import. It's like Rosetta Stone but actually works.

• OpenSong
• SongSelect USR
• SongShowPlus

Imported Files (aka Your Messy Stuff)

Every other file format under the sun? Yeah, we import that too & you can view it "as-is" in OnSong. Our song editor also plays translator & converts a bunch of these formats to text. You're welcome.

• Adobe PDF
• Microsoft Word
• MP3
• Rich Text Format
• Apple Pages
• OpenOffice Text
• HTML
• TIFF
• JPEG
• PNG
• Other

Media Files (aka Your Pretty Pictures & Backing Tracks)

OnSong has a media library so you can slap images & videos onto your lyrics projection, or add backing tracks to your songs. Drag & drop your visual assets. Here's what we eat:

• AAC
• AIFF
• FLAC
• M4A
• M4V/MP4
• MIDI
• MP3
• QuickTime
• JPEG
• PNG
• Wave Audio

MIDI Files (aka For the Nerds & SysEx Hoarders)

OnSong has seriously powerful MIDI chops & can even be your personal SysEx librarian if you're into that kinda thing. These files auto-populate your MIDI Globals library. Beep boop.

• SysEx

ZIP Files (aka Bulk Import Convenience)

OnSong imports ZIP files stuffed with whatever supported formats you want to dump in there. Perfect for hoarding multiple files at once from some other app or resource. Multi-tasking: you're doin' it right.
