It only works one way (Mac to iPod) and still requires several steps even via USB, but it does work. And I don't have to worry about WiFi connections, email delays, etc.
    Now, this sounds like a way to go, especially since I live in rural mountains where I have to go to town to get a wifi connection. I need to transfer from a Macbook to an iPhone, so that's a bit different. Thanks, DaleMac, I'll let you know how this works for me.

    EDIT (about 15 minutes after posting the above): Wow, DaleMac, that was crazy easy. It's almost as if DiskAid and FileApp were invented to transfer iReal Pro files. The Help feature on my DiskAid does not work at all, i.e., absolutely nothing happens when you click on anything in there, but the DigiDNA support site had a brief explanation of how to get a file, in general, from DiskAid in Mac to FileApp in iPhone, and that could not have been simpler. Once I got the file into File App on my iPhone, I was stumped a bit as to how to get the file into iReal Pro for iOS7 from FileApp . . . until I just clicked on it and FileApp seemed to know that the file needed to go into iReal Pro, and presto. Now that I've done it once, I think a file transfer like this will take under a minute, for sure. And it looks like you can transfer whole PlayLists this way, too, perhaps. [FURTHER EDIT: Yep, I just transferred a 35-tune PlayList in under a minute. This is also a fast and easy way to make a copy of a PlayList in iReal Pro, which I think you still cannot do directly within iReal Pro.] This is going to save me beaucoup trips to the coffee house in town to use its wifi. Thanks for this great tip.

    BTW, DaleMac, your DiskAid/FileApp trick does work both ways, and without Internet connection. Starting from your iPhone, you just use iReal Pro for iOS7 to send a tune using the Chord Chart>html feature. It automatically brings up FileApp as a possible destination, you drop it in a Downloads folder there and just retrieve it in DiskAid, using pretty much the same technique as going the other way. Works for whole Playlists, too.
