Songbook is available in itunes app store

Only problem now is that majik ds doesn't show up in 'room'.
Any ideas? nothing on the 'bookshelf apps' page.

Cheers

Apple surprised me, my last app took 5 days to get approved (after being rejected once, so the total was more like 3 weeks). I submitted SongBook yesterday thinking I'd get the process underway and it's now listed on the App Store, that's the quickest listing I've heard of.

The web site will be updated tomorrow.

Also I have an update to submit to Apple tomorrow, it has a couple of changes. I've slowed down the device discovery so that it works better on more challenging networks, and I've also made a fix to support Majik DS's that do not have an external preamp connected.

If anyone has any other suggestions or bug reports you can send them to jason@bookshelfapps.com to reach me directly.

I do intend to add some more functionality in the near future so let me know what is important to you and that will help set priorities.

Oh, and well spotted. You can't even search for it on the App Store. If you do want to find the listing go to the Apple App Store and select the Music section. It's currently the second item in the list, but it will move down as more apps are released. From past experience I think that a search for "SongBook" should work in a day or two.

Hello Jason,

Have you included random play functionality? Having playlists with hundrets of entries
this is the most important function for me.

Has anyone installed Songbook and tested it? Would like to know how it works compared to Leia.

I have the same issue... awaiting a response from an email I have sent to Jason...

Got an email from Jason.
He has uploaded version 1.0.1 so should be available soon.

Have to problem with Akurate DS - it is not showing up in Songbook

KM

how about a demo version of songbook, so everybody can try it without first spending 65 EUR? the price is very expensive, ok we all have spent a lot of money on our DS and NAS etc. but does this justify the price for the songbook app?

I would say so. The market for DS apps is not that big, and it takes time to develope such an application. I want to support a developer who makes just the application that I feel that I need.

I am beta testing this app, but I will gladly pay for my program as it does not cost more that a Playstation 3 game (in Norway) wich is not as useful, and the SongBook app will be used a lot more that any of my PS3 games.

But I can understand that people would like to try a demo version before they payed 65 EUR.

(The latest version has no problem with detecting my Akurate DS - the previous version, the one that I think is out now, did not work for me either.)


Best regards,

My problem is that if I buy Songbook for £50 and it does not do what I want, there is no chance of getting your money back. Also, it is not even possible to sell it on. So, if it does not do what I want I have thrown £50 away - something I do not like doing. All this would not be a problem if a trial version was available.

At present nobody has stated how good it is in use. Can you save playlists in Songbook on the Touch ? Can you random play music ?
