Birdland is a Linux-based multimedia music viewer and library manager for
music books in PDF form including fakebooks. It displays a page of music
or a ChordPro song by searching a database of titles and other metadata.
Answering the *Let\'s hear how it goes* query it also suggests audio files,
midi files, and JJazzLab songs from your media library and YouTube links matching the search.

A secondary feature of Birdland is index management. Birdland contains
tools to quickly create indexes using OCR, harmonize indexes from
disparate sources, compare them, and integrate them into one database.
Birdland ships with index data from 9 sources covering over 100 books and
over 20,000 titles. Users can edit existing indexes and add their own.

Here you can search the *Birdland Music Book Index* to find
books and page numbers by song title and by other search terms. You can use this to explore
the Birdland Index prior to installation or for searching Fakebooks independent
of Birdland.
