Hey,

Why can't I play the music that are already in my iPod ?

Apple does not permit to access the songs in your iTunes library. Actually apps can play songs, but not access the "data" of the song which is mandatory for analysing it.
We've been reporting this to Apple, they took it into account, but who knows when they'll change it?

Some rhythm games took this solution: they play the music in your iTunes library and download the data from thier website. It sounds nice but has 2 main drawbacks:
- you are limited to songs they have in their database. You can't play on that unknown singer you love.
- beats may be out of sync if the song they processed is not exactly the same version you have.

So we chose a different solution: you have this extra step of uploading your files in the game, but then you are guaranteed it will works perfectly all the time!

Yes but HOW DO U upload the files????

Hey Eddie, just launch the game on your phone/pod, touch the button My Music and note the numbers that looks like "192.168.0.45" . This is the address of your device that you have to write in the web explorer on your computer, you see ?

then just follow the web interface to select and send any music files (mp3, m4a,...)

Your files should then appear in the Select a Tune menu, when you touch on My Music...

Thanks but I've done that and nothing happens. I need a step by step guide. I have windows vista and all my music is stored in I tunes. So I type numbers in explore bar and it does a google search. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to type numbers elsewhere or do I need to have a certain piece of software?? I so want this game to work but need more help!!! Thanks for replying hope u can help more

Hi Eddie,

Can you copy / paste here the exact thing you are typing in your web browser ?

If a google search is launched instead of the music transfer site it means either you misstyped something or your device is not not reachable for some reason.


If all your music is stored in iTunes you'll be able to find all the files in My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Music, and then transfer them to the game.

Hey Patrice I have sorted it out. Was typing in wrong codes as to small to see dot on iPhone screen. All working okay now and thanks for all your help. Truly first class service and a great game too

Great!

Yes, numbers are separated by dots. I'll add this to the FAQ.

Thanks for your feedback.

Weird. Whenever I try to put those numbers in, it just starts loading then stays on the same webpage.

Seems like the Wi-Fi between your computer and your device is not working.
Can you try to ping the device ? What do you get?

In their example use those numbers (called IP address) instead of mediacollege.com
