Songs - Browsing

The main landing area for the songs section contains a listing of songs, with various tabs to sort and organize the songs in a way that is helpful to users.  There is also a search box on the lower left corner of the screen (there is actually a search function for every section of the website, in case you were wondering).  Searching through songs is an especially powerful mechanism, since songs contains such a wealth of information.  Explore the search, and try out the advanced search as well.  These can very helpful tools in finding the exact song you want.

This appears to the user as follows:

When you have found a song you would like to view, simply click on the song title or the "more" link in the translucent blue help box (if you activated that).  Either way, will take you to the view of the full song.
