   Hi, im running a wordpress guitar site at the moment and I want to add guitar tablature to it. now I have over 55,000 guitar tabs that i need to be catagorised, downloadable ( as they run on other software), and searchable.
   so for instance if someone wants to search for a particular band or song they can do and all the files associated with that would appear on search, then they can click on the file they want to download to get it.

   also got some tabs that are just text based but also need to be catagorised and searchable, they are currently in PDF format

   anyone got anyideas.

   thanks to everyone that replys

   You would do well to set up a custom post type for the tabs and set up each song as a post with all the downloads available for that song. Then use tags or categories to define the artist, genre, etc.

   Do a search on Custom Post Types if you aren't familiar with them. There are also some Custom Post Type plugins available to help if you aren't a coder.

   Hi Drummer girl, Thanks for your reply. My only problem is I have over 55,000 songs to upload , catagorize and I really need a quick way to do this. Would I be able to upload the directory with the tabs and then somehow use a plugin ( maybe a directory plugin) to link to the directory and the files within?

   would this work?

   Possibly. You might consider setting up some sort of spreadsheet that you can convert to a table and the build your plugin around that.
