I think this is possible and seems to be what is happening with others' experiences (but not entirely sure as I have not carried out lots of tests on this.)

This could be what is happening.

You could find someone (family member or friend) with an ISP-based email address and run some tests using their email address (temporarily!) with the view to adding you as a new user using that ISP email system. Their ISP might enable different users under the same account without you needing to create and pay a separate account.

You might be able to find another user of iReal book and ask what email address/ISP they use.

iPad is very useful for adding all your music charts (iReal book and iBook app - showing scans of anything you need in PDF form.) You would love it.
iPad could connect via 3G to an account (so you use this outside your work internet and email system entirely.)

I would think so.

Great news!

Not sure what this means exactly. I know that many ISPs have a maximum file size restriction for (perhaps both) sending and receiving. This is why many use Dropbox or ftp or MobileMe (Mac), cloud-based services etc. for sending and receiving big files. Also if you are sending (or receiving) through your work, the computer system there might be restricting file sizes also.
- Not that our song codes are large, but if there is 'corruption' or alterations/additions or confusion of what it thinks it is, then it might create an error message (as unhelpful as it is.)

Anything else to report yet?
