Has anyone found a magical way of being able to use a controller and also use external usb storage at the same time? I noticed the lightning connection splitters only allow charging on one side and headphones on the other side, so i doubt they would work in this case, but has anyone tried and been succesful?
I know i could use icloud drive (i currently have itunes match) but my problem is not having enough storage on my ipad to load a whole playlist of music and it would be handy not having to delete files to download others.
Easy: just use the apple lightning to USB adapter which also have a lightning power input. Successfully tried with my mixon4 and external powered USB drive , and also some USB key
yes you can read the tracks directly from Djay : in fact it’s like you add index of the folder you choose from the drive to Djay and it appears like a playlist into Djay
then you can play any file of this (kind of) playlist
in fact all this happens through the Files app included into Djay : then you can access everything that the (iPad) Files app can access, including Dropbox, Google Drive or … network access
(at least this works under iOS 13 … just try under you actual OS)
not directly an answer but this is a potential workaround - store 100’s of tracks on a wireless drive ie ie a WD Passport Wireless drive or an Airstash and leave space on your iPad for say 30 songs - you can load off the wireless drive on request in the same was as iCLoud but without needing a wireless access point at the gig (you create a direct wireless connection - iPad to your wireless drive) it does create a local copy of said track on your iPad so you still need to manage space requirement
According to one of the developers here there is an option to play music through the “Open In” section of this guide https://help.algoriddim.com/hc/en-us/…
