I know you can upload your own songs, but only 4 songs default for "free music"? Thats not a lot and thats actually pretty sad, I was hoping for atleast 20+ free songs just to start off with...looks like I have to get to work with uploading my songs then.

If the point of the game is to use your own songs then even 2 free songs would be ok. You're buying this game over other rhythm games to use your own songs.

yeah, thats whats cool about this one

Its just very inconvenient, especially for people who dont have a computer available ASAP. All of my music is on a PC that is hogged all day long by my brother, right now Im using a mac with nothing on it. I was just a bit disappointed with the selection at start, but hopefully I can get some music up onto the server soon. You expect these games to have a fit music selection from the start, but I guess not this one.

SoCal - Once you upload, you then D/L to your iPhone, then the music stays there. Very nice concept.

Songs that are weak on beat / bass do not do well with encoding. There are some significant changes between levels sometimes, again based on the song. But the concept is great, and opens up your whole library to be able to use.

30 songs is probably an OK amount - I would imagine with time that people will clamor for 50 - 100 being able to be maintained, then perhaps "continuous" play where it automatically jumps from one song to another and keeps everything so you have mega tap adventures...

Does the game work well with electronica?

Not a huge deal however, as I just used a different e-mail acct., and started anew.

I had the same problem so I just emailed the creator of the app (his email is on the website) and he fix it for me.

I have one question: Does it play the actual song or does it play the rythm etc..? Or can you hear all the instuments etc..?
