importing songs from SongSelect

When importing songs, ChurchTrac retrieves all available data such as title, author, copyright, CCLI number, and lyrics so you don’t have to enter them manually. If a song already exists in your library, you’ll be prompted to update the information or skip duplicates.

Invalid Grant Error: If you receive an invalid_grant error while importing songs, it means your SongSelect token refresh has expired. To fix this, simply disconnect from SongSelect and then log back in. This will refresh your connection and remove the error message.
