Downloading zip files via email can be done for iOS (iPhone, iPad) see:
http://www.pgmusic.com/support.iphone.htm#downloading3
This is an easy item to open the BIAB app and load it with chords and including the accompyïng music (m4a).
It seems also possible to open zip files from other applications then email with the BIAB. It functions.

My wish is that the same thing could be done with Android. This item does not yet excist in Android and could be of great importance. It is not only email zip files that should open the BIAB but also zip files from other applications.

The methode offers the possibility to add a link to a pdf file that points to a zip file that can be opened in the BIAB app or that opens an attached pdf zip file. So you can have your song music (in your pdf), open the equivalent BIAB file and be able to use the chords, transpose, play-along and listen while using the BIAB app.


Musicians and music publishers are still wasting too much paper...come on men we live in the digitised age...Wake up!

I did a search at the Google Play store for free file archive apps. The top rated Android file archive app is called ++ ZArchiver ++ .

Google Play checks apps for virus so I trust that app store better than some.

Sorry, I tried to relate your comments to my post, but couldn't understand what you meant. So may be my post is unclear? Or I'm still not awake.

That a zip file is used to get information from your PC to the BIAB app on your tablet is a typical abnormal choice of pgmusic, not with the purpose to create an archive in itself. This may distract you from the actual problem? The biab app on your tablet has been built to only accept zip files. The content of the zip files is manupulated to create different content for the app then what is originally on your PC.
So you need to be able to open the app with a zip file. This is possible at iPhone and iPad but NOT in Android.
My question to pgmusic is: make this possible at Android systems as well!
In the Android version you can, like in the iPad version, download the zip file into the app and then it will save the content. So the app will accept the zip files. You only need to tell the OS it can open zip files with the BIAB app.
