scanning library

Hello i have a question when it is scanning for library should i have itunes open or does it not matter?

also i have been scanning for like 30 min and my library has like 25 gig??

what is the issue?

 

[slapguts]

Huh. This is all I can get it to do.

I don't think it's safe to assume everyone who uses this app will be using it just in their cars or at work, but even if they do, not everyone has got a charger in their car

Simple solution... buy one.

Having trouble

I'm trying to get this working using my library on an external drive. Has anyone been able to do this succesfully? I have sharing enabled and have selected my iTunes music folder from the app but it doesn't show up. Any advice?

You're doing better than me.... I can't even find it.

You're doing better than me.... I can't even find it.

search for it in itunes and sync it with your phone

 

[lindsayanng]

there is a link directly to the app within the first few posts.. it says *link*

I just downloaded it I have been looking for something like this

 

[ankushpatel]

just keeps scanning

Anyone else having this issue.. it stays at scanning libraries for 30+ min.

 

[gcmexico]

it doesn't matter, you can't stream them anyway.

*
even the ones that aren't protected? that blows!!

pandora streams a radio program. This streams YOUR music that you may not be able to fit on your iphone.. so you have access to your ENTIRE library all thetiem

Point being that they both stream music.

Same here..hope it eventually works and doesn't have to scan everytime I want to use it.

 

[lindsayanng]

wow.. just because the both stream music doesnt make them the same app.. they arent even CLOSE!! thats lke saying that this is just like my FM radio! it still plays music as long as it is turned on and tuned in...

Its NOTHING like Pandora. its your OWN music.. and shared music from friends.

for all of you having issues.. check your itunes sharing preferences.. make sure you are allowing sharing. I had NO issues connecting to my rather large library.

amazing app!

This thing's amazing! I have access to huge amounts of music on my iPhone, without having to take up the space on it! Didn't need the 16GB iPhone?!! And up to 30 other people's?? That's many gigs of music "on" my iPhone! Plus I can access it anywhere! (As long as the desktop app is running and the Mac isn't asleep!!) Awesome stuff.

One thing - in the desktop app prefs, isn't "sharing" just for sharing with to other people's accounts? Or do you have to have sharing on to listen to your own account? I've been experimenting to try to find out which, but I can't work out if if it was just a bad connection when I had "share nothing" selected in the desktop app.

For All Who Are Stuck On Scanning..

MAKE SURE you are updated to mac osx 10.5.4!! should fix the issue

I have it working, I just went into preferences, sharing, my music folder, and then manually chose my music folder. Took a while to get everything uploaded but it's working.

 

[lindsayanng]

you NEED to be sharing in order to share with yourself.. itunes doesnt know that YOU own the iphone that its coming from because its coming over their servers.. so theres no id for the phone.. so yes, you NEED to have share ON for yourself

 

[FaustArp]

im following the steps and i tryed going to their website but it doesnt exist apparently?

 

[lindsayanng]

yes it does.. you must have mistyped or there is a block on it from your cpu

 

[jecapaga]

well i got it to show up on my phone and it's working but it's only showing 253 songs as my whole library. Where are the other 25683 songs? It only syncd a portion of my library.

Edit: I see now that it's up to 500 songs syncd...it's just going very slow

 

[MacMuttonchops]

Still free as of 9:44PM EST!

 

[bonesboy]

awesome!!!!

this thing is really cool. 16gb? Who needs it? Not for music, anyway.
My favorite feature is the lyrics button. Tap that and the lyrics will be on your screen. It doesn't work for all my songs but most of them. This program is great.

I'd prefer if the application ran in the top menu bar in Mac OS X so that I don't have to have an application running in the dock for no reason.

Same here. They really need to work on that as its an annoyance to have it in the dock serving no purpose (really).
