import songs from another presentation software?

I have been using another program called opensong for 3 years now but am looking at changing to another. Part of what is going to help in the decision making process is that i have invested many, many hours building a song bank in it (i have put close to 1000 songs in it, many of which i had to type). I don't want to go through that again. If there is any way that the song data base can be moved and translated to openlp, i would love to know about it. If there isn't a way, is there a song bank that soneone has created that can be downloaded for use on openlp? thanks

opensong stores their songs in xml files. it should be pretty easy to write an importer for that, but right now we're concentrating on getting version 1.0 out. if i have a couple of hours one saturday in the near future, i'll give it a go.

There is a basic import at File menu -> Import -> Songs -> OpenSong

Alternatively a script which strips chords and handles verse/chorus sequences.
