Ok firstly I used Itunes file sharing and added all my Lyrics (which are documents in RTF Format) ..this produced them all appearing in SONGS as a list ..which seemed a good start ...! So I have all songs there...title artist ..I can then associate the RTF's to each song next as a DOCUMENT (my lyrics and chords)
Adding documents to the app through iTunes File Sharing does not create songs in the Songs list. Did you add the songs by importing a spreadsheet file, perhaps?
Furthermore, adding documents through iTunes File Sharing doesn't even create documents in the Documents list. It just puts the files where the app can access them, but you still have to register each file with the app by tapping the + icon at the top of the Documents list and selecting a file. This is explained here:
http://www.bandhelper.com/tutorials/attaching_documents.htmlI then tried the same thing with MP3 files..no subfolders , using Itunes file sharing... after a 10 minute or so wait after hitting SYNC on Itunes, NO mp3's appeared in the "recordings " of bandhelper either on ios or the web app .
This works the same way as documents. Simply copying a file into the app doesn't do anything. You have to register each file with the app:
http://www.bandhelper.com/tutorials/attaching_recordings.htmlThat's why the batch import is better for large numbers of files, because it adds the files and registers them automatically.
So I then tried Zip file import from the WEB app ..firstly all songs zipped up (over a gig) ...after a long wait (unsurprisingly) NO mp3's showed up in recordings.
The file size limit is 500MB, and some browsers will give up sooner than that when uploading large files.
I tried importing ONE Mp3 zipped up as a test...success..it showed up in Recordings
so I tried importing 4 mp3s all zipped up... only ONE showed up...when I say it Failed this is what I meant
Can you send that zip file to me to look at?
