Data is as follows, comma and "___" delimited items (read into practically any database system), 20 items per entry. Folk song index data is in 4 files totalling 29.794 megabytes, and broadside index data is in 5 files totalling 28.380 megbytes.Asksam3 adds some column markers, and entry # markers, but not too much overhead, so the ASKSAM3 files run about 45 megabytes. Fixed column width database systems require much more storage space (most of which is practically empty) and run 6 times as much storage, or more.
Note that this is for traditional song research, and field recordings are included, but 'revival' singers aren't. No songs from Ewan MacColl, Jean Redpath, or other professional entertainers.
