FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions / Re: Walkout Song DJ music sources for Android users

« on: August 01, 2022, 07:04:16 am »

Unfortunately, Amazon does not provide any method for third party applications to access Amazon music subscription songs.  If you purchase songs individually from the Amazon website, you can download those on a pc or laptop and then transfer to your device using a usb or google drive.

That feature is already on my todo list... look for it in the next Android update which I am working on now and expect to release in the upcoming slow period before fall ball starts.

Thanks for the feature request!!

You can export what you setup to a file that you can email to other people with the app.  That option is labeled 'share data' on the settings tab of the app.  They should be able to click on the file attachment and import what you have setup.  To get the music to match the setup, share the 'walkout song DJ' playlist that the app creates in your music app.  Have them open that in their music app and do a one click download of the whole thing.

Another popular option is to find an old iPad or Android tablet, import what you have setup on that as a team device and just pass it around for games.

General Discussion / Re: AirDrop

That would depend on what type of songs you are referring to...  You can air drop physical music files that you have copied to your device and then imported to the app.  That is just basic iOS functionality from the files app.  If you are referring to Apple Music songs, then you have no access to the physical files so nothing to airdrop.  You can, however, share the song playlist that the app uses.  Look for it in your music app playlists with the name "Walkout Song DJ".  If you share that with someone that has Apple music, they should be able to one click download all the songs your are using.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions / Re: How to change volume of the music

« on: May 08, 2022, 01:23:51 pm »

Apple Music playback on iOS has no volume control provided by the operating system so there is no way to make it lower relative to the announcement.  The announcement does have volume control but it defaults to the maximum volume.  In my experience and retested just now, the volume of the two are fairly balanced...  Does this music too loud problem happen with all the Apple Music songs you try or just specific ones?  Can you do a device recording of what you are observing and email to me at Walkoutsongdj@gmail.com?

ok, I see what your suggesting...  I have added it to the update todo list.  Hopefully, I can get that done for the next update once the peak season subsides.

Issue Reporting / Re: Apple Music losing downloaded songs

« on: April 19, 2022, 11:01:28 am »

That sounds like an issue in Apple Music itself as the Walkout Song app has no capability to remove songs from the library... 

Are the affected songs actually from an Apple Music subscription or are they ones you have added to iTunes manually?

That error message is triggered when a song in your music library has its cloud flag set and the device is not connected to the internet.

Can you try opening the 'Walkout Song DJ' playlist in your music app with internet connected and tapping the red download arrow in the top right corner to force download of all the songs?  Verify all songs have the downloaded indicator visible, then retry your offline playback test.

That could probably be done... Could you tell me what device and operating system version you are using?  Perhaps attach a screenshot of the view where you want a larger volume control?  If you can't attach that here, maybe email it to me walkoutsongdj@gmail.com.

Is it possible that the new device does not have enough space for all the songs to be downloaded at once?  I know if you have the 'optimize storage' enabled in the settings app, music section, the device will remove less recently played songs to make room for new ones.   If it is a space problem, you may want to check if you have the audio quality set for lossless in that same music section of the settings app.

General Discussion / Walkout Song DJ on a Windows laptop

« on: April 14, 2022, 10:31:11 pm »

For anyone interested in running Walkout Song DJ on a Windows laptop...  there is an excellent free Android emulator called Bluestacks that runs very well on recent laptops.  I have been able to install Bluestacks, Walkout Song DJ, and the Simple Song Collector.  Full screen, it makes a pretty sweet combo if you are tired of trying to use a tiny phone screen.

Bluestacks will also run on an intel based mac laptop if you have one of those around.

I believe this is fixed by a new update release I just created:

https://github.com/UpAllNite-Software/simple-song-collector/releases/download/beta-1.0.10/ssc-beta-1.0.10.apk

Please download, install, and confirm if you have a chance.

Issue Reporting / Re: Simple song collector error

Thanks for the report... that error is usually the result of YouTube making changes to their api that breaks the parsing to find the audio streams.  There are some similar reports on the page for the newpipe extractor library I use for that parsing so hopefully they will get it fixed shortly and I will rebuild and update the song collector.  This has happened three times over the last 18 months.  It is usually fixed within 24 hours.

Issue Reporting / Slow download speed

« on: April 07, 2022, 11:07:16 am »

I have noticed recently that the Song Collector is pretty slow downloading audio tracks. 

I tracked the problem down to a recent change in YouTube that is throttling download speed to just a little faster than you would need to maintain a live stream of the material.  I have a new approach in development to download the material in multiple simultaneous smaller chunks and it seems to work well.  Stay tuned for a new release with that improvement in the next week or so.
