I hope that with a future iPhone update, it will be possible to access the iTunes library.


V1.0 and older.

Audio is loaded into DiddyDJ by making a webpage that has links to the audio that you wish to transfer.
On OSX the easiest way to do this is to turn on WebSharing in the System Preferences Sharing Pane, then drop the files into the Sites folder of your home directory. You will also need to remove any index.html files that are in there. You can see that the web page is generated properly by browsing to http://yourmacname.local/~yourusername/yourloopsfolder

Eg for myself...
I have made a folder in /Users/Diddy/Sites/ called Loops and then I drop my wav files into this folder. To access the loops from the iphone I connect via Wifi to my network and point DiddyDJ at http://diddysmac.local/~diddy/loops on the Add Loops page.
