If you want to give EW conversion a go, it looks like you can grab databases from the Salvation Army by going to http://delministries.tripod.com/easy_worship.htm. File extension is .ews and from what I can find, is a paradox table.

There's a spec for the ews (EasyWorship Service) fileformat here: https://github.com/meinders/lithium-ews/blob/master/docs/ews%20file%20format.md

The internal database where the songs are stored is indeed a paradox database.

Oh man, that looks rough. Parsing binary data like that as string with JavaScript might be a little bit too crazy. There are libs out there like jParser just for things like this though. Feel free to take a stab at this if you feel up to it.

I'll pass :) We've implemented import for both the database and the servicefile format in OpenLP which is python3.
