Shure makes a Music phone adapter, it works great and works with any headphones (especially Shure’s because of cord length but will work with any).

It’s basically the apple buds without the headphone, just the mic and you could use them with any headphones

You definitely need to communicate the situation better, if you’re interested in taking care of your existing customers. It’s about as clear as mud from the outside at this point.

I can also tell you that I don’t have lots of app slots to spare on my iPhone, and even if I did, it’s unlikely I would dedicate THREE app slots to one application. I don’t think I’m alone there, either. It would be good to solve this- I only have room for one RjDj…

Thanks again…

yep, I work for RjDj – you maybe have heard some of my scenes like Gridwalker or Moogarina.

With the new version we wanted to give everyone access to the download-enabled version of RjDj, for free, because we also want to let composers decide if they want their scenes to be free or paid for. In the end, our code base (Pd) comes from a free software background, and some of us, me included, compose on Linux etc. We like free stuff. :)

OTOH Reality Jockey is a company. The only way to sell scenes (which is partly funding our development efforts) was by bundling them with an RjDj player in the AppStore before we had the new website. And as I wrote, there are technical hurdles that make it hard or in fact impossible to use more than one app for scene downloading, at least now.

If we would be producing and selling MP3s, everything would be fine and dandy: We could have sold them through the AppStore, collect them in albums or sell them separately, they would show up in iTunes (and only there). Nobody would have been disappointed because iTunes updates don’t include new tracks for their collection.

But as it is iTunes cannot play RjDj scenes – so we have to go a more complicated route. I agree that we probably should communicate this better than we are already trying to do.

I guess, the main misconception we are dealing with is that people think, RjDj would be an iPhone software. RjDj is not a software – RjDj is a platform for music as software.

All the best

Whatever the case may be, they should at least explain what’s going on….

Some of the confusion is because of the way Apple handles uploads, correct? That is, it isn’t really possible to *replace* the one app with the others?

“You can now also get the scenes from both albums through our website, but the albums are a bit cheaper than buying all scenes separately – especially at the moment, where both albums are free for a limited time.”

Frank, I assume you work with the RjDj group. I have to say, the whole thing is very confusing, and I would have had no chance of understanding if it weren’t for these comments. I had no idea why my RjDj app suddenly swapped its icon with a different app, also called RjDj. There’s probably quite few more people out there who have no idea what’s going on.

RjDj is avery cool app, but I think you’re diminishing its potential with these multiplying versions. You don’t even explain it clearly on your web site.

I’m sure that I don’t want three RjDj slots occupied on my iPhone. Two of these will go away soon. I shouldn’t have to pay again for the scenes I got with the original RjDj album.
