Apple Music & iPad Syncing Issues (Again)

I so wish we could simply have our files synced through iCloud Drive. What’s stopping me is: Recursive import of the Music Folders on iOS.

And I’m also heavily exloring Lexicon DJ for library management. Last i’ve tested (a month ago), a library exported on Mac did not work on the iPad - it just didn’t recognize the tracks from iTunes. I’m now preparing another set of tests to see if it will now work thrhough the iTunes sync mechanism (entire library Mac → iPad).

If iCloud Drive file-level sync + recursive import on the Dajy iPad can relink the files, Lexicon is simply GREAT for library management from what I see. There’s a lurning curve, and it’s not bugfree (MAKE BACKUPS!), but is definetely worth it. Yes, there’s the manual step to move around djayMediaLibrary files, but the extra tagging and the Library maintanence tools in Lexicon are very, very good. I’ve already had two DJ sets running out of Lexicon generated djayMediaLibrary.

I’m preparing to test iTunes library generated from Lexicon; Syncing this lib with iPad through the iTunes (offcloud) mechanism; and use the Lexicon generated djayMediaLibrary on both Mac & iPad. If iTunes manages to transfer all my files + the djay iPad can link to them properly, through the iTunes source, this would be just great! Will keep you posted.
