It was discovered that by replacing the (correct encoded) video file, autio file (in ogg format), cover image (png), a metadata file (in xml) and a vxla File (containing text and notes with timing) via LayeredFS, it is possible to add your own songs to Let's Sing 2019.

The challenging part lies in creating the vxla file, which requires including all the notes and timings. To address this, the converter script has been developed. It is designed to take a text song file (containing notes, text and timings) obtained from Ultrastar (an open source Let's Sing/Sing Star clone with tons of songs in the internet) to the vxla file that is needed for Let's Sing.

Optionally, this script also takes a youtube url as an argument (-yt) and generates the needed media files (audio, video and cover).
