Tech: Music Binder app is not making sense

So I'm starting the process of getting a bunch of songs on an iPad.   Using app "Music Binder". Managed to pull in a batch of 20 songs. They appear in the "master binder #1". Unfortunately they all show up in all 8 'binders'. Why? I thought those stayed empty til you decided to fill them with various categories.   

When I go to, say Binder 5, and start deleting these duplicative ditties, the program warns me 'this will erase these from Binder 1, too'. ???

Anyway, it's just not making sense. Can I get a clue?

That's the way the iOS image filer works. Every image is in the Camera Roll directory, but you can have as many othet folders as you like that contain links to subsets of it.

It's a yucky way to go about it.

Thanks, Jack. I guess I'll experiment with OnSong and see if its organization is more rational.

"I guess I'll experiment with OnSong and see if its organization is more rational."

It is, certainly if you're using Word documents as I do.. If your importing .pdf or .jpg files, perhaps not (although I personally see no sense in using file-types that can't be edited).

I've no recommendation for Android FH but try searching Google Play Store.

this might help you find an editor for images such as jpg, png, etc.

this may turn up something that can do something with pdfs.
