Music in Files App (iCloud) not Downloaded in djay

[kfarrell70]

Hi all, I’m perplexed by this. I have some beats, not apple music, just MP3’s and Wav files on icloud. I did choose download in algoriddm but as an experiment, when disconnecting wifi, the files aren’t available to load into DJ pro.

Hi @kfarrell70, please provide more details about your setup:

• Device model (e.g. 2020 iPad Air 4th Gen):
• Version of operating system (e.g. macOS 14.4.1):
• Version of djay (e.g. 5.1.2):

Thanks @kfarrell70, please try the following:

1. Open the Apple Music App on your iOS device(s)
2. Make sure that you see the downloaded symbol (circle with a down arrow) to the right of your file.
3. If you don’t see this symbol, that means the file is not downloaded onto your device and you need to download it.

I am talking about iCloud files. Outside of the app, it looks like this

Inside the app, it looks like this

Thanks for clarifying. Your title says “Apple Music files not downloaded”.

EDIT: I changed the topic title to make this question more clear.

@kfarrell70, in this case, you need to use the Files App on your iPad to move these files from Locations>iCloud Drive to On My iPad. After you have done this you can import them into djay via the Files source.
