Do You Use a Tablet, Rather than Books?

[Jerryc41]

How many of you use a tablet of some kind for your music?

A member of our group started using an iPad rather than books a few months ago. Now I'm using a 10" Kindle. I love it. I use MobileSheetsPro, which is an amazing program that can do so much.

With 32GB of internal memory and a 32GB micro SD card, I'll never run out of storage. I have mounts/stands for both table and floor.

I'm new to this, and I'm still learning, so if any of you have tips or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

I do - iPad and OnSong. Excellent program that I only just scratch the surface of.

iPad and Set List Maker. But only for the dozen or so songs I have transcribed with MuseScore.
The other songs are still in the book.

Using a cheap android tablet and dropbox now. Don't really have a list maker. Will look into it. currently just doing a quick search for the song I want is good enough

More & more people in my uke groups are going the tablet route. Most are using medium to larger sized tablets. I don't know what programs they are all using. 2 of my 3 groups send out music ahead of time online for upcoming jams, so it seems easy to upload right onto a tablet. I'm not a very tech savvy person, so I'd be reluctant to try the tablet method. Paper is easy, I can tuck it into my music stand case, and I can make quick changes & notes on it as we play. But my office is covered in stacks of paper music & binders. I need a better organization system for the paper, or I need to get hip and join the "cool kids" with the tablets.

Did you use MuseScore on your iPad? I have tried other apps without much satisfaction.

I have a 9.7 iPad. I have downloaded tabs and ebooks, but find the print rather small. I haven’t tried to print from my iPad, cannot plug into the printer or thru my laptop, but then I haven’t bought a lightning connection.

I use a mixture of everything. Have some books and also have onsong and Mobilesheets installed on my iPad / cheapo tablet.
Also occasionally use sheet music.

My go to and favourite is probably onsong on my iPad.

I use a Nook 7 and pdf's of the songs that are stored on a SD card.

I have several pdf's downloaded from this forum, the Welti songbooks etc. I also scan pages from songbooks I own and upload. Keeps me from lugging books around.

The tablet also helps when I am camping and have no WiFi or cell coverage but want to play a song.
