iPad file format

[Gerry Orkin]

We don't (yet) have the ability to access music files that are synced via iTunes on computers to the iPad/iPhone iTunes app on iOS devices. However we can access music files that we copy to one of the folders owned by our apps on those devices. For example, my app comes with 3 mp3s already installed, and the user can download more. I include the default mp3s in the Copy Files pane of the standalone settings, and copy them to the Document folder on the device with a script the first time the user opens the app. Is that possible in your case?

I assumed that adding songs to the Music folder in iTunes would put the song files into a folder called Music and then I could list the files in that folder and put them into the fld in my application and play them.
