Hi, I've downloaded and saved some BIAB song files from Dropbox to BIAB for iPhone. BIAB sees the songs on my iPhone but the play button stays red, and asks me for my IP address when I push play. Why doesn't it recognize that the file is on the phone and play it?

You need to have .mp4 files as well as the sgu files.

So if you have:

mysong.sgu
mysong_Render.m4a

in the drop box, it will work.

Q. So how do you get the m4a files?
A. Prepare them, using the main maenu Windows - BB2Go menu item.


Have Fun!

Thanks Peter. I've prepared the rendered files along with the song files and put them in my dropbox, but when I go to download, the phone doesn't see the rendered files. I've deleted the files from the phone and the box and started over with no luck. Ideas?

I had a repeat of your same observations when I tried this tonight, Frank. I prepared 5 rendered files along with their associated SGU files and dropped them into Dropbox. When I downloaded them inside the regular BIAB app (they even had the green colored name), the play arrow was red and they would not play. If anyone gets this to work, please inform us.

Sure could use more clarification on the use of Dropbox as a medium for getting BIAB files to play on the IPhone Remote app. I've gotten it to work, but at the expense of considerably more steps beyond those described by Peter in the above post. I'm suspecting there are fewer steps than I'm experiencing. Sure would be an appropriate time for one of those PGMusic super clarifying YouTube videos on this topic.....I used the previous version bunches.....and firmly believe PGM has a much simpler (and more timely) way of doing this via Dropbox with this version than what I'm currently experiencing. Aren't there many of you out there that are big BIAB Remote app users and, like me, eager to hear about the "streamlined approach" for doing this.......pllleeeaaassseee!!
