- Sorry, MP3.....
I download a song to my PC and move it to the playbook and PM does not show it.
It does show up in the PBs own music player though.

PS, I would use the PB BB Music store but their prices are way out of line. Almost a $1.00 more per song.
I am downloading about 100 songs today for a wedding receptions this weekend and that $1.00 makes a big difference.Last edited by trsbbs; 06-20-12 at 09:37 AM.

For a $20 app that crashes alot and doesn't play raw iTunes music I'm thinking I made an error in purchasing this app. Maybe good for some, not for me. Every time I go to scratch, it crashes. I've uninstalled it until they release a fix for it with M4A support too. I don't see how a pro DJ could use this app and have a club rockin, then the app crashes and people boo and get all pissed. I was SO looking forward to this app, only to be shocked that yet another BlackBerry app that was supposed to be "super" fails again.

Ps, I also have Rhapsody. Is that a little better?06-20-12 09:44 AMLike 0 - This app does crash a lot, but with 2.1 being a PUBLIC BETA, I can't speak on the crashing during 2.0.1 official.
tsbbs, if you're running 2.0.1 official and it hasn't crashed much, the OS likely has a lot to do with it. I'm on 2.1 beta and it crashes, but if I load it again, I find it doesn't really crash much. I wouldn't blame Pacemaker for this, myself.
Also, be sure to check out Pacemaker's support section on their site (https://pacemaker.desk.com/). Good luck!06-20-12 10:04 AMLike 0 - It doesn't work with iTunes M4A files.

Lastly, I have no idea how this remotely involved "BlackBerry" as a brand directly, or even Research in Motion - aside from the fact it's running on their device. The bolded comment to me is just cynical, non-sensical BS that I'm oh-so-used to hearing in this "community" anymore.06-20-12 10:12 AMLike 0 - What is all this crying about lack of "iTunes" support?
iTunes is part of the Apple dynasty - and we all know that Apple is more or less a locked community. Not saying they have bad products, far from it, but if you go the Apple way - you'd better stick with Apple products all the way... just the way Apple want..
Playbook supports standard MP3 files, and apps on the Playbook of course supports the same.
Instead of complaining about not supporting iTunes, you should go to Apple and ask them why they use the codec's they do, and why they don't open up and allow direct use of MP3 files on their own equipment.
Please folk's - don't let this be a war. Some drive gasoline cars, some use hydrogen, some use bio-fuel, some use diesel, and some can use can use a mixture of them all...
It does not mean that a gasoline car is better or worse than a diesel, they both have ups and downs,.. and both have different qualities,.. you just buy the vehicle that will solve your transportation needs ... the same in our business...06-20-12 11:29 AMLike 0 -
The more important for any development project - is that core functions are in place of course - but also that the dev's are responsive and continusly work towards fixing bugs and functions.
The bigger problem with apps - are developers who "throw out" an app on AppWorld, and then forget all about it.. don't care about fixes or updates... Since all apps have flaws - it is important to be on alert and willing to fix...06-20-12 11:34 AMLike 0 - Get real ,... nothing is ever "perfect" - and if it was - it was released to late...

One of the "thrown out" audio programs that comes to mind is iSequence n Loop - which wasn't updated for the longest time, and now gets updated quite frequently.
Sorry for any confusion, I was just being sarcastic to the poster I was quoting who had a bad attitude. Entitlement stinks!06-20-12 12:43 PMLike 0 - huuu--- u scared me there for a moment..
Yea - a lot of confused people out here... who want software for free, software that solves everything, without bugs, with updates every week,...
I wonder if I can send my bills to them,... someone has to pay them.....06-20-12 12:47 PMLike 0 -
Secondly the PlayBook DM allows you to copy your selected ITunes folders onto your PB and play your ITunes music (playlist and album covers etc.) without any issue. It will not read DRM protected music or videos though.
Pacemaker does not read ACC files (loaded on a PB) at the moment. So the current solution is to convert your ACC files to MP3 and transfer them back to your PB.
I suppose this is a Pacemaker oversight but it is not a big deal, a software update could resolve this.
It�s a software compatibility issue not a PlayBook flaw.
06-20-12 01:44 PMLike 0 - Dude, I just sent you a link to Pacemaker's direct support site which outlines all supported formats and everything. It was in post #7. You've also been getting input from others. I apologize for having to be a j3rk to others who are just plain negative, but it is what it is. The forums are mighty tough lately.
