What's the difference between Books and Sets?

You can think of books as being different ways to organize all the songs in your library. For example, you might have a "book" in OnSong of 10 songs from the same music album, and you can call that book the title of that album. Books are great for organizing by topic, genre, band, album, etc.

On the other hand, sets are used to organize songs when you are performing a gig or a show. You can put together a set to hold songs from multiple different books, depending on what songs you want in that set.
