The TLC Import/Export facility is designed to make sharing TLC song files simple and easy, whether by floppy disk, email or web site downloads! 

Using the default settings, TLC will export your entire database into a single compressed file with a single mouse click. This option is great for groups that need to share chord and lyric sheets for practice at home.  Just send an email to each member with the latest ZIP file so that everyone can synchronize their database. Importing and exporting this way is a simple, single click operation.  This file will contain all of your songs along with each song’s properties and rich text features. You can also export TLC data into multiple files based on category, author or title.

The exported files can be shared with other TLC users. When a file is imported, TLC automatically decompresses it if necessary, then displays all the song titles available within it. With a single click TLC will compare every song in the file to the songs in the user’s database and import only the new ones. Users also can import songs by title, category, author or by tagging. In addition, user’s have the option to rename and/or re-categorize songs as they are imported.

To facilitate sharing TLC files via web sites, TLC will automatically create HTML web pages that coincide with the exported files. Wann'a see some actual TLC created web pages... click here!  Web masters need only to copy the generated HTM files along with their matching TLC data files to a directory on their web site. The only other necessary step is to create a link from any page on their web site to the TLC created index page.  Now you can manage a Tab and Lyric website without server-side applications!
