YouTube will occasionally block specific network addresses that it deems to be a high risk for bots extracting songs and videos.  Best way to avoid the issue is to use the Song Collector from another network address that YouTube has not blacklisted. If you are using a vpn, then try a different server.  If you are using a home internet, then try rebooting your router to get a difference address.  If you have the option for cellular, try that.

Hello,
I have downloaded the simple songs collector app using the link provided. While trying to download songs, the app is asking for me to sign-in to prove I'm not a bot but there is no where to do so. Please advise. Thank you.

Many Bluetooth speakers especially when connected to an Apple device playing Apple music can be a serious pain with unexpected volume loss, missed playback of the song or the announcement or both.  I have tested with many and tried many different tricks and tweaks to try to get them to behave but they still act up more often than not. 

I finally found a pretty reasonable solution that i can share:

Buy this little Esinkin Bluetooth receiver from Amazon:
https://a.co/d/31BNP5V
Price was 23.99 when this was posted.

Put that device near your problematic Bluetooth speaker, attach the usb power adapter from the usb of the speaker to the Esinkin power input, connect from the Esinkin RCA out using the provided cable to the speaker aux port.  Put your speaker in aux mode, connect your apple device via Bluetooth to the Esinkin and Walkout Song DJ should play much more reliably through that combination. 

Note: You still may need the 'Send external speaker Wake-up' enabled on the settings page of the app for some speakers that want to go to sleep within seconds of the last playback regardless of how they are connected.

Yes...
On the Apple version: on the settings menu, under ai audio affects submenu, there is a gain slider
On the Android version: on the settings menu, announce gain slider

Slide that in small increments until the balance is better.  It can generate distortion if you go too far.

Last post by JohnnytotheC - September 02, 2024, 06:11:55 PM
I am using the AI generated announcer, and it seems much quieter than the song. Only the people in the immediate vicinity of the speaker will hear the players name, but then everyone two fields over will hear my speaker thumping the walkup music. Is there a way to isolate and change the volume of the announcement without changing the music volume or any other fix for this issue? Thanks for all your help!

Enhancement Requests / Re: larger volume slide

The volume slider on iOS is only on iPad screens where there is room.  For iPhone you use the normal volume buttons.

The red triangle vertical line button will skip the configured stop time and allow the song play to the end or until you manually fade or stop it. 

Not sure why you would want the default values to be endless as that pretty much defeats the purpose of configuring a song to start and stop in the time it takes for a batter to get to the plate or for the teams to warm up between innings.

Best Walkout Songs / Good version of "Take Me Out t...
Last post by frank010 - August 27, 2024, 02:57:40 PM
Hi!
I am looking for a good version of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", I think the Bing Crosby one is the best, but this song is not available on Apple Music (only on Spotify). In Apple Music I only see kids versions and a very old one.
I am now looking for an mp3.
Also available for tips where I can find baseball sound effects (pack) that I can play in the stadium.
Thanks!

Where can I find this button in the iOS app? Als curious what the the button is next to the play and fade out button. It is a red triangle and a vertical line...
And I would like to have a setting where the default values for the walkout duration and inning break duration are endless (as long as the song). Currently, both are limited and can only be extended in the individual songs...


Thanks!

I would also like to see this option where the pregame songs overlap/fading, now there is always a pause in between.
Thanks!

I believe there was just an outage yesterday at GitHub that prevented download.  Give it a try today and see if it works.
