SoloGuy I am curious as to why 3 of my posts are marked as "Deleted".

Which posts? I don't see any deleted posts in this thread.

BTW, I have just uploaded version 3.0.1 to the app store. Once reviewed by Apple, it will be released quite possible in the next few days.

Here is the Changelog:

3.0.1 (2019-08-14)

This release brings back the playlist based workflow from version 2. It can be activated by disabling the option Advanced Queue Mode in the settings dialog. In this mode, the queue management is handled transparently by Stage Traxx. You only need to select the song you want to play and Stage Traxx will continue with the songs in your current context (playlist or song list).

Added

  • Playlist based operation mode where the queue is handled automatically by the app. Can be turned on and off by the option Advanced Queue Mode in settings dialog.
  • New option in settings dialog to disable drag & drop sorting

Changed

  • Support forum link is now pointing to the new domain name

Fixed

  • Crash when trying to send invalid midi commands
  • Waveform generation fails when trying to import non-standard audio files

    Must've been a glitch in the website. Some of my posts said "Deleted" instead of "Sologuy".
    It seems fine now. Thanks for all your efforts, @peter.

    SoloGuy Plz read my explanation.The answer I got back was oh well we still have to go to the Queue.But I asked you to then select the playlist tab and your good to go or as Musicado said Select Song tab.
    Might have seemed smug posting pic but I was trying to show how I was using ST3.
    And yes your spot on Peter could have been saved a lot of extra work with a little bit of patient from
    those experiencing ST3 for the first time.

      My apologies. It seems that the answer was given piecemeal by a lot of people and it is quite frustrating when you can't get a clear concise answer form an entire group. Musicadi's final response was exactly what I (and I think everyone else who was frustrated) was looking for. It was like being new to a city and getting incomplete directions from nearly everyone you ask, just to go from point A to point B.

      So, version 3.0.1 has just been approved. It should pop up in your Updates tab on the App Store within the next hours.

      I hope that we can now move forward from this thread.

        Thanks for your efforts Peter, but this will NEVER work for me I'm afraid.
        After ST2 which was so simple and never let me down on hundred of gigs over years, this V3 is just too different in concept for me.
        Having to import all your songs into the app is beyond me ! It's ALWAYS worked fine using iTunes with the advantage that I have always prepared my playlists in iTunes on the iMac (easy and comfortable...) and transferred them to ST.
        Now you have to load all the files you want into the app, doubling the amount of space needed (a bummer for my 32Gb iPads šŸ™

        And so far the importing songs bit just doesn't work ! ! ! It blocks near the end of a 100 song transfer and I have to force the app to close. Not one song imported ! ! And I have near 1000 ! !
        NO WAY can I use this for my next gigs.
        Others may have been convinced that it's great, but I stick to what was said earlier.... give us ST2 with a few improvements and the guarantee that it will be updated for future iOs versions and Ill be happy to pay for the extra peace of mind.
        Sorry to rant, but I'm now very annoyed to find that I've bought a Frankenstein version of what was a great app and cannot use it because of all the major changes.

          The songs have been imported. Just do a refresh of the song list.

          It would be useful if you could send me the song that can not be imported.

          I had to answer so many support requests for syncing issues with iTunes, I am not going back there. The quickest way for you would be to just import the audio files without iTunes. Then you would not need them in iTunes and it would not take up double space.

            peter How to import to several iPads with an ADSL upload speed of < 1Mb ? Wouldn't have completed for my next gig :-o

            Fastest way is through iTunes filesharing as this syncs directly over usb.

            AlanC76 give us ST2 with a few improvements and the guarantee that it will be updated for future iOs versions and Ill be happy to pay for the extra peace of mind.

            Same.
            The app is better now for sure but still a far cry from ST2.
            why o why in the playlist view if I press and hold a song name it’s starts shifting north or south?

            Why in portrait mode the lyrics block the list and if I wanna see the list I can’t see the lyrics?

            theres more but I’ve been awake 22 hours and after a long gig and drive, and we’ve listed most things.

            Sorry peter, I’ve asked for a refund from iTunes and got it. This isn’t for me either and I’ll stay with ST2 and won’t update my ipad that’s I gig with.

            You had it perfect with V2 and I also would like to keep it working for the future and like I said earlier will pay as much as $100 annually to motivate you to keep it working.

            sorry friend, I’m sure there are many who’d love the new features but for me I’m bugging out.

              In Peter’s defence it’s not him writing a new program that’s the issue. Apple will eventually stop version 2 from working. It won’t just be that either so not updating your iOS is a very dangerous practice unless of course you want your iPad hacked. V3 is not that even now with the new update. Give it a chance!!

                I can’t seem to find the update in the App Store. What gives?

                  Sharonzaz It's OK, you don't need to use version 3 if you don't want to.

                  Sharonzaz why o why in the playlist view if I press and hold a song name it’s starts shifting north or south?

                  Did you even take a glance at the release notes? One change is:

                  peter New option in settings dialog to disable drag & drop sorting

                  Sharonzaz Why in portrait mode the lyrics block the list and if I wanna see the list I can’t see the lyrics?

                  You can, except on the iPhone (just too little screen estate). On iPad the song list can slide in and out. Your lyrics stay visible. And instead of just 3 songs, much more are displayed.

                  Muzomart It won’t just be that either so not updating your iOS is a very dangerous practice unless of course you want your iPad hacked.

                  Depends. If you only use your iPad for music, and don't use it in the Internet, I don't see a security threat.

                  SoloGuy I can’t seem to find the update in the App Store. What gives?

                  It did not display for me either. On the Internet, the new version is visible in the App Store but it did not show up in updates yet. Don't know what the problem is.

                  But you can force the update by opening the App Store, searching for Stage Traxx 3 and tap on download icon.

                    peter my apologies, I didn’t see drag and drop option on the notes. This is better for sure. And yes, I was on my iPhone rather as was on a long road to a gig. Will test this on my ipad and if it does what you said I will repay for the app. I suppose I was driven by disappointment. Like I said, when I got the email about V3 I didn’t even think and try it I just paid and went from there.

                    Will let let you know after the weekend how it went

                      Sharonzaz Like I said, when I got the email about V3 I didn’t even think and try it I just paid and went from there.

                      Same here ! Just came as a shock to see how different it all is.
                      Pity I missed the beta testing but as I said, I haven’t been to this forum since 2017 and didn’t get the mail I had for previous betas.
                      I’m persevering (with help from Peter !) and hope I will get to use it, but ST2 will remain on my iPads for a long time yet...
                      Was used to preparing playlists on iMac in iTunes and sync’ing to ST2, very convenient.
                      this is no longer possible and preparing set lists from well over 1000 songs is going to be complicated for my aging brain 🧠
                      Good luck šŸ‘šŸ½

                      Funny thing is, the update shows up on my iPhone.

                      peter thanks for the update. I was frustrated before and that’s not the right approach.
                      thanks for listening to all of us. It must be hard eh.
                      it has taken ages but I have my songs back in it now.
                      can you tell me where the back up saves so I can access it from another tablet. It saves but where to?
                      also the volume choice on the old app is gone. It used to be a one click access to turn the set down and then after the break one tap to put it back to track volume. Can that feature come back please.

                        SteveCherelle the volume could be set differently for each playlist, that was a handy feature that has vanished.
                        Maybe it could be restored in a future update Peter ?

                          Yeah, as the queue is still working in the background the audio player does not know where a song is coming from (which playlist, songlist, whatever). So I did not have a good idea yet how to tackle this.
