had some iTunes $ so I took one for any interested parties…

1. it doesnt seem to send audio out of the built in speakers in my 1st gen iPhone – headphones only.

2. each ‘track’ has a .beat file associated with it (see grab).

3. all ‘tracks’ are only 12 bars at 128bpm.

4. replaced one of the defaults with a 12 bar 128bpm loop with same name and that worked.

5. there’s also 10 tracks to play with but 11 inside the app.

6. there’s a CodeResources which is a .plst file – lists all elements including tracks. could possibly add more tracks via this file – havne’t tried yet. not sure how those data strings are generated and how they are linked. (see grab 2)

I’m not a coder so idk where to go besides just replacing the tracks with new audio but keeping same filenames. deadmau5 isn’t my cup of tea music wise, but love FAW and this app looked fun. hopefully just an update or non-deadmau5 version is in the works.

anyone paid the 2.99? if you did and have a jailbroken device, try getting in via ssh and see if you can just replace the audio files…?

Peter is right, Apple is not letting you access your own content its not the apps fault. Sucks because I’m sure he would make another couple of G’s off the App store alone.

That’s right — that’s an Apple decision to not allow you to make direct use of the library. And to me that seems to be about control rather than security or quality; that’s one of my beefs with them. In fairness, no mobile platform is without compromises, though, certainly not at the moment.

@hueyjl: unfortunately not. i think apple doesn’t allow apps to access the itunes library. at least i haven’t seen any iphone app yet, that can do it.

Last comment has killed me. How can you possibly don’t know Deadmau5 and still own an iphone… I don’t understand this world anymore..Tell Deadmau5 I Love him!

I don’t know who this Deadmau5 is, but this app seems like a lot of trouble just to be able to support 10 samples. Obviously there’s more here, but I suspect they’re going to be dishing it out piece-by-piece. Nice amusement though.
