You don't need to 'connect to server', unless you want to *generate* songs from your android device. There are a few ways to get existing songs onto your device.

- First step is to prepare the songs in Band-in-a-Box desktop. You need to have an .mgu and and .mp4 (audio file) for each song. Create a folder of the songs you want to transfer, go to the Window menu | BB2GO, and generate .mp4s for the songs.

- Second step is to transfer the songs. An easy way is to use Dropbox - Open the app on your phone/table and go to File | Download from... dropbox.

Note - if you don't have an mp4 file for your song, you can still see the chords using the app, but you won't be able to play it.

Alternatively, if you connect to the Band-in-a-Box server on your desktop, you can transfer songs by going to File | Server | Get Songs. You then go to the url specified on your desktop internet browser and there is a utility to transfer songs. To make this work:

- First you need to have Band-in-a-Box Server running on your desktop. Check for the little white and green note icon in your taskbar. There is an option to start the server in the BB2GO window.

- Second, Connect to Server on your app. Assuming your phone is connected via Wifi to the same local network as your computer, the Band-in-a-Box Server will show up automatically.

Note - if you don't have a wireless network or you are away from home and so you're connected over the internet, it gets a bit more complicated because you need to configure your home router to handle the connection properly. It's not hard to set up, but it's just not automatic. There are instructions at:
