For musicians

This app has some experimental features for artists to manage their own music.

• Keep your messy ideas in the Scrapbook - audio/video clips, text files, links, etc. Tag them and easily find them later.
• Manage your music in the Artist's toolkit
  • Manage your artists and musical projects
  • Create song entries, add info and lyrics
  • Attach files (or drag from the scrapbook), from cool riffs to final masters.
• Look up chords/lyrics in DuckDuckGo, go to artist on Wikipedia
