Enhancement Requests / Re: Ability to search for song in "imported songs" folder

« on: May 03, 2019, 05:46:32 am »

Ok, that makes sense then...

I will take a look at level of difficulty and risk to add an alphabetical sort and side index for that imported file list.  See if I can get the feature added in the next couple release cycles.

I'm not sure exactly how the interface would look for showing which songs are in use, but I will add that to the todo list and see if I can come up with something.

Thanks for your feature suggestions!

Is this on an Apple device?   

I have an alphabetic index for import songs on the Android version, but didn't figure that Apple users would have a large number of imports with the iTunes library available.

You are welcome... sorry that wasn't obvious. 

I am a one man show software engineer and softball dad so my user interface design skills are not the best. 

I will make a note to change that color scheme to be less confusing in future releases.  I also made some notes to clear up confusion between the imported songs and iTunes library based on your other post.  That confusion has caused suffering for more than a few people.

I would only expect a version mismatch from a newer version of the app to an older version of the app.  Is this on Android or Apple?  Could you email that wsdj file to me at walkoutsongdj@gmail.com and I will take a look at the format to see what the format looks like.

The only steps to get player announcements to work is to enable announcements as you did.

Then add a player with a name and number, tap the big red play button next to the player and it should do a text-to-speech announce of the player name and number.

The red/green colors at the bottom of the player config screen are simply to distinguish between the two and allow you to overlap the sequence of the two as you like.  There is no status indication intended there.

There is also no option to play/test the announcement on the player config screen.  You must return to Walkout Song page and tap the Play button next to the player.

Issue Reporting / Re: Trouble importing songs

Are you on an Apple device or Android? 

On an Apple device, you do not need to import from Apple Music... just add a player, tap the "tap to select song", pick iTunes library and your Apple music songs should be there. 

If you are on Android, then there is no way to import from Apple Music as Apple has not yet provided any method to access the songs from a third party app on Android.

I anticipate release on Monday 4/15.  You are welcome to try the beta if you would like.  It seems stable at this point, but I would love to get a few more testers that would have a use for the new functionality.  I can send a testflight invite to you if you are interested.

yeah... sorry on the export without songs.  The app cannot move anything in iTunes and imported song sharing from device to device would get me in heat with the record industry.

On the suggestion... that is already in beta right now.  If you would like to give it a shot, let me know and I will send an invite to the email you registered with.

I believe you are encountering a bug that I have fixed in the last month or so...  can you try to update your app to the latest version from the app store and see if the issue goes away?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions / Amoyshare getting tricky

« on: April 04, 2019, 08:19:59 am »

The free video converter at Amoyshare that a lot of Android folks use has changed the interface just a bit to trick more people into buying their pro version...

But if you tap the double down arrow below the listed pro versions, it slides to reveal that they still have the 128k mp3 version for free download.  I attached a picture of the button you need to tap.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions / Re: How to remove the fade-in on both parts of imported songs and announcements?

« on: April 04, 2019, 08:00:56 am »

Hmmm, I will have to take a look at that use case.  In trying to keep the interface as simple as possible, there are definitely a few corner cases that are not handled well.  Your idea to add a little dead space to the end should work, but I will add your use case to my list and see if I can find a way to handle it better.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions / Re: Best Practices

« on: March 31, 2019, 07:32:49 pm »

The hardest part I always had each season was getting the players to pick their songs so get that bug in their ear as soon as you can. 

Couple other things to consider:
Source of music... on Apple, you can use Apple music, purchases from iTunes, or imported song files. On Android, their are no subscription options so you can either purchase songs somewhere, or my free helper app "Simple Song Collector" from here https://upallnitesoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=246
Do you want announcements and if so what type?  The easiest announcements in the app are text-to-speech, but they sound kinda robotic.  You can also find a coach or parent with a good voice and record them in the app.  Third option is to pay a pro like Donny Baarns to record them for you and import to the app https://upallnitesoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=244.msg788#msg788.

Lastly... I would avoid using the app on your primary phone so you can pass off a device to another person in case you can't make the game.  The app does work on Android devices back to 4.1 and Apple ones back to iOS 9.3.5 so you can use an older phone or tablet that you have laying around or can buy refurbished.

There is not much configurability to the fade and announcement ducking.  I tried to best fit the majority of situations and keep the configuration simple.  There is a fade seconds setting on the config page that will allow you to speed up the fade seconds, but the lowest setting is .7 seconds.  I could add an option to disable the fade completely, but that would be a global setting as I would rather not add a config option to each song to avoid complicating the interface for a very specific and so far rare use case.

If you would like to email me a song, announcement, and a screen shot of how you configure it.  I can try to duplicate what your hearing and see what I can do to improve it.  Email those to walkoutsongdj@gmail.com

For purchased and imported songs, that would be possible... for Apple music songs, not so much.  Which type of songs are you blending with?
