 Oliver has recently posted a converter (written by Jon) for converting OpenSong xml files to the Screen Monkey format.  Each beta release gets better and better.  Login, download it and check it out.  I am starting this post to open conversation about making other converters.  I am not a program writer but perhaps some of you want to take on a challenge.  Are you willing to write a converter?  Are you willing to beta test?

 Someone posted elsewhere that they are looking for an Easislides to Screen Monkey converter.  Easislides can export as an xml file but the xml file contains all of the songs of the database in one file.  Screen Monkey stores each song as its own xml file.  Somehow the converter will have to change the fields to match Screen Monkey and also split each song into its own file.  Below is an example of an exported Easislides xml file with only 3 songs:

  <Contents>[1] A life of overcoming, a life of ceaseless praise, be this thy blessed portion, throughout the coming days. The victory was purchased on Calv’ry’s cross for thee, sin shall not have dominion, the Son hath made thee free. [2] And would’st thou know the secret of constant victory? Let in the Overcomer, and He will conquer thee! Thy broken spirit, taken in sweet captivity, shall glory in His triumph and share His victory. [3] Then from thy life ascending one triumph note of praise, (for they who always conquer a victor’s song must raise,) shall echo on unceasing till Satan’s host doth flee before our glorious watchword, “Lord, victory for me.” [4] Though all the path before thee the host of darkness fill, look to thy Father’s promise, and claim the victory still. Faith sees the heavenly legions, where doubt sees nought but foes, and through the very conflict her life the stronger grows. [5] More stern will grow the conflict as nears our King’s return, and they alone can face it who this great lesson learn: that from them God asks nothing but to unlatch the door admitting Him, who through them will conquer evermore.</Contents>

  <Contents>[1] A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, on earth is not His equal. [2] With force of arms we nothing can, full soon were we down ridden; but for us fights the proper Man whom God Himself has bidden. Ask ye: Who is this same? Christ Jesus is His name, the Lord Sabaoth’s Son; He, and no other one, shall conquer in the battle. [3] And were this world all devils o’er, and watching to devour us, we lay it not to heart so sore; not they can overpower us. And let the prince of ill look grim as e’er he will, he harms us not a whit; for why? His doom is writ; a word shall quickly slay him. [4] God’s word, for all their craft and force, one moment will not linger, but, spite of hell, shall have its course; ‘tis written by His finger. And though they take our life, goods, honour, children, wife, yet is their profit small; these things shall vanish all, the city of God remaineth.</Contents>
