Yep Guys Tagging an artist in ITunes and syncing back to IPad works.Was able to import songs.
Peter,Where to the songs import too.
Does this mean we have songs in media library and songs in Stagetraxx.?
Thx Barry
Stage Traxx beta version 3.0.0
- Edited
coopdawg This is a Great finding. Now I know how to reproduce this and I will be able to fix it.
Bazz02 Yes, songs are imported and stored in Stage Traxx. I had to deal with too many support requests regarding syncing issues and lost songs due to iTunes. Having all songs in Stage Traxx will get rid of these problems.
JDSMUSIC Sorry I did not make screenshots as the layout is not finished yet. But it looks similar to the iPhone, only bigger.
peter can Stage Traxx 3 put the phone in aeroplane mode automatically when opening the software and take it out of the mode when exiting?
I believe the old Stage Traxx for I pad was bulletproof in that respect.
We have so many things to setup prior to performing one less thing to must remember makes the performer more relaxed and confident the app won’t let him down.
Regarding TEMPO Change,
If you have TC lyrics which all my songs do, you change tempo to a song the TC does not compensate for tempo change and visually goes out of time to the audio.
Cheers Damir
Damir No, it is not possible to switch automatically to Airplane mode. On the iPad with cellular you had the same problem. If you want a backup device without phone capability you could buy an iPod Touch.
If you change the tempo the clock runs faster or slower. You can see this on the time display. Time coded lyrics should stay in sync.

Ok Tempo is working as expected now I don’t know why it didn’t when I first started testing
I will keep an eye on it
Is there a way to quickly transfer all my songs with TC on my old ipad4 to my Iphone6+
I know I can sync to my ITunes on my IMac but the songs don’t have the TC Data for automated scrolling.
I have copied and emailed individual song lyrics on my iPad with TC then received the email on my iPhone copied and pasted in to appropriate song, this seems to work but will take ages having 200 songs is there an easier way?
Thanks Damir
A great point Peter.Some testers look like their spending a lot of time migrating all files.
When as you say “A FUTURE UPDATE TO NEW BETA VERSION COULD CLEAR DATA BASE.
Hope you don’t mind the Capitals just want all to be aware of this.
Thx Barry
Well, I try to avoid it but I can’t rule it out. This is a test version after all.
peter all good, as long as you are aware of the issues I am not migrating to new version till all important issues are rock solid.
Just found I can’t load all my performance songs from iTunes.
I have two main playlists created both playlists are exactly the same songs but one has no drums as I use a live drummer on occasions so the names are the same but the audio is different.
So all the song names are the same in both playlists but the artist column I placed a different tag like Songs with Drums, Songs no drums, this works very well in old software,
The new version it loads all songs with Artist tag Songs No Drums but won’t load the Songs with Drums, it seems like it is not using Artist name to distinguish the difference only Song name so it does not load both versions,
Can this be fixed otherwise I am going to have to rename all my songs to distinguish the difference so they all loaf in to SONGS?
Cheers Damir
Damir When importing songs the filename used to store a song in Stage Traxx consists of title - artist.m4a. If a file with the constructed name exists, Stage Traxx assumes that this song is already present and will skip it.
I will have to check whether there is a bug. But I have currently no means to change tags, so I will take a look at this in 2 weeks.

Hi Peter
Firstly may I say how pleased I am that you have decided to continue developing stage Traxx.
It’s an awesome program that accommodates every professional musicians needs and for that I thank you.
I would very much like to upgrade to stage traxx 3, if I may I ask a couple of questions.
Firstly, would 3 supersede the present version I have, or would it be possible to run both versions on the same iPad until I got used to the new features and interface.
As I’m sure many users have, I have spent countless hours integrating lyrics into the program, would stage traxx 3 automatically include the lyrics of the original playlists or would it be a case of starting again..?
As for the subscription idea, I would be more than happy to subscribe to the program, given the flawless features and user friendliness that ensures a more professional performance only achievable by using stage traxx
Sincerely
As always thanks so much for your prompt response, much appreciated.
I wait in anticipation for version 3
Best regards ..
In trying to add songs I opened my Google Drive in Files, navigated to Folder "Backing Tracks" containing 297 songs. I did Select All and they showed selected, then tried both options Open and Done. Nothing happens. Seems for now you can only add songs one at a time?
JDSMUSIC It seems like you missed the download indicator. It takes some time to download that number of tracks and the import into Stage Traxx can not start before all tracks have been downloaded. The indicator is displayed beside each file. This is a standard iOS dialogue so I can not modify this window.
