I tryed the inport function from BIAB on my PC. The zip fill function worked very wll and quickly transfer 6 songs.
The results were mixed
- all of the songs played
- 4 were close to desktop version others had various issues addition of solo meodist
- mixer and tempo buttons did not work for any
- when i change style still cant edit with controls.

What should we expect from import ?
What does m4a ready mean ?
What is the purpose of each section in Play Gen +?

I'm a little confused, so could you clarify something please?
You mentioned 'PC', and 'Import From Desktop'. Is this BIAB on a Windows PC or BIAB iOS (Apple)?
Are you importing material from your iOS device to a Windows PC, or something else?

M4A is an abbreviation of "MPEG-4 Audio" and is essentially an MPEG4 without including video information.

I imported a songs to BIAB for IOS from BIAB on my Desktop Mac. No problem with the song playing correctly on the desktop. When I imported the song to the App for IOS on my iPad, it generated the song on the Server because of the style used for the song, no problem there. But when playing the song on the iPad the "Tag jump" did not work on the IOS (iPad) in the last chorus. (Ie the song was repeated the required times but in the last chorus the tag jump did not work and instead the tag played at the very end of the chart.) I also noticed the "Bar based Section Letters" of the chart on the Desktop did not show on the chart in the IOS App.

Hi Otto,

Tag jumps and bar-based section letters aren't yet supported in the iOS app. We will add them in a future update.
