Amazing no one has run into that issue before...  I will add a resolution as you suggest to the next update.

Thanks for the report!

Fade-in is automatic if the song doesn't start at the beginning. 

There is a 'fade seconds' value in the config menu that defaults to one second and is applied to fade-in and fade-out.

Cue is just the time to start the playback so you can start somewhere in the middle of the song.

I'm not sure what you mean by play continuously on the inning break songs....

Those are meant to be played as a single song for the time the players are warming up on the field.  The duration of those defaults to 120 seconds, but you can change that for individual songs or as a default value from the gear icon menu.

Yay, glad we figured it out!  Sorry it took me so long to figure out what was going on.

That privacy setting was added in iOS 10.  When you first tried to access the iTunes library after the iOS 10 update, it should have presented you with one of those messages "Walkout Songs requires access to your Music Library". If you accidentally tapped no instead of yes, then that's how it got disabled.

Ok, let's try this...  First make sure you have the latest version of Walkout Song DJ (2.3.1) and the latest version of iOS (10.3.1)

Next, open your settings app in iOS and look for the 'privacy' item and follow that.  Then look for "Media & Apple Music" item and follow that.   See if Walkout Songs is listed there and if the toggle switch is enabled or disabled.   It should be enabled for Walkout Songs to be able to access the iTunes library.  I suspect the switch is disabled.

There is a little gear icon on the main page.  Tap that to pop up the config menu.  Somewhere in the middle of the menu is an announcement section with an 'enabled' toggle switch.

So you are still having a problem when selecting from the iTunes library within Walkout Song DJ, but you can open the Music app on the device without any issues?

And I assume this used to work for you but stopped working recently?

Thanks for the interest in the Walkout Song DJ For Android.  I did finally start work on the Android version two weeks ago.  I am currently working on finding the parallel user interface controls in Android that closest match the ones I used in iOS. That turns out to be a pretty frustrating battle because of the rapid evolution of the Android controls.  I search for a control and find something that seems like it should work only to find that method is deprecated and something else has taken its place.  Oh well, i guess slow progress is way better than no progress.  :)

Hmmm... Now I'm not sure what is going on with it for the imported file browser not to work.  That has not been reported before.  Are you possibly having problems with running out of storage space on the device?

The iTunes song selector actually runs in the context of the iTunes music app and the cycle back is just a symptom that the ITunes music app is having problems and cannot present the selector. This has been reported to me a few times recently and I suspect a bug in the 10.3 version of the iTunes music app.

Try these steps one at a time to resolve:
1) Try opening the iTunes music app on your device to see if there are any error messages and refresh its database.
2) Double tap the home button and swipe kill the iTunes music app.  Then try to reopen the iTunes music app.
3) Power down and then restart your device to clear the memory state of the iTunes music app.

Yes, I will add you to the beta, but there is a new roadblock in the path to supporting Spotify...

For a commercial app (the 4.99 price point of wsdj qualifies) to support Spotify music sources, I must have written consent from Spotify.  I did apply for that consent a week or so ago, but I have heard nothing back and from what I read in forums, it can take years to get a response  and they are pretty picky on giving that consent so I'm not sure I will get the approval.

I do have much of the functionality working to support Spotify, but for the moment I have suspended that effort pending Spotify approval.

There are some other important features on the wsdj todo list so I do plan a beta some time in early summer for those and you will get notice of that beta release from Apple when it is available.

I sure understand the obsessing...  That is why the app exists in the first place  8)

The no decodable tracks for a song that was there last year, usually just means that the itunes library removed the local copy of a song to make room on the device.  You can usually fix that by opening the music app on the device and tapping the cloud icon by the song to redownload.

The problem with it not opening the itunes library is usually something hung up in the iOs music app.  That entire picker screen is actually run in the music app process.  I would try either killing the music app or restarting the device.

It is not possible yet to play the announcement before the song, but I have been asked quite a few times in the last couple weeks for that option so I am working on a configuration option for the user to align the music and announcement at the beginning, end, or just by arbitrary time to mix them together.    Expect to see that in the next version released sometime after the height of the season.  I try to not to release updates when the app is in heavy use so I don't break things and anger the user base.
