Uploading your metadata to Session Studio
Head over to settings in Session Studio and click on Import
Then drag the CSV file into the Upload song metadata area, or browse to find the file on your hard drive.
Your metadata will now upload and Songs are created.
Uploading your audio and lyrics to Session Studio
Still in the 'Settings' - 'Import' page, drag and drop the 'Songs' folder file into the Upload song audio and lyrics area.
Once all the files are uploaded they will be connected to the relevant Songs uploaded in the previous step.
If you go into Songs you will see that all the song titles are there with the original creation date from Songspace.
Inside each Song you will see that audio and lyrics has been added and also the credit information. Please note that Credits will only have the full Session Studio Profile information for you and not the other writers. Since they are added by name only (from the csv) and not from adding them by their Session Studio profile.
Split information will also be added and is visible in the splits tab. No publisher splits will be visible here, only the songwriters.
Any other data from the CSV file will be found in the Details tab. like e.g. the Publisher splits.
Your now ready to organise you songs into folders which you can find out about here
