Choose Custom Track
T' link a custom audio track t' yer chord chart, ye must first decide which library t' pull from fer playback, savvy? While these methods o' accessin' audio tracks be slightly different, they all include th' ability t' link a track just by tappin' on it. Once a track be selected, ye'll be presented with a Change Song dialog t' determine if th' track's duration and tempo be applied t' th' chord chart. OnSong provides access t' th' followin' libraries.
Apple Music
This option provides access t' shared audio tracks that ye can play usin' th' Music app on yer device. Linkin' audio tracks from Apple Music has some advantages, matey.
- Tracks that be stored in iTunes in th' Cloud or iTunes music match can be accessed usin' Apple Music.
- Tracks that contain digital rights management can only be played through Apple Music.
- Tracks be not stored within yer OnSong library makin' th' storage requirements o' yer app and backups less, Arrr!
- Tracks be shared between multiple apps and can be played back from th' Music app on yer device.
- While OnSong does support background audio when playin' music, if OnSong were t' be shut down fer any reason, th' audio would stop. When usin' Apple Music, th' song can keep playin' even in th' event o' an unlikely failure, blimey!
Audio Media Library
Choose this option t' manage audio tracks directly inside o' OnSong. Th' audio media library be stored inside o' yer OnSong library. This lets ye import and manage audio tracks without usin' Apple Music, but will consume additional data storage inside o' yer library, savvy?
Visual Media Library
Choose this option t' link videos t' be used as backin' tracks. When played, these videos we automatically be played underneath any lyrics projection with sound and can be controlled just like any other backin' track, Ahoy!
Spotify Library
Choose this option if ye have a Spotify account and would like t' link streamin' audio tracks t' yer chord charts instead o' storin' them on yer device. This will open th' Spotify Library screen t' let ye choose from yer saved tracks, albums, followed artists or t' search fer tracks in Spotify's music catalog, ye scallywag.
Note that Spotify be not supported when runnin' OnSong on a Mac because th' Spotify SDK be not supported on macOS.
