How Do I Share My Team And Include Music

To share your team to another device, choose "Actions > Share Team" below the team.  This will compose an email or text which you can send to the iPhone, iPad, or Android Device to which you'd like to replicate the team.  Make sure BallparkDJ is installed on that device.  Open the email on that device and click on the link within the email, the team will import and open up within BallparkDJ.  If you have not yet purchased the full version of BallparkDJ on that device, you may be prompted for the in-app payment at this point. If you are sharing the team to a device on the same Apple ID or Google Play account as the one you’ve already purchased the full version, then that purchase should be recognized and you should not have to pay again.

If it is a different Apple ID or Google Play account you are sharing to, then you’ll likely have to pay to upgrade that account to the full version. The full version in-app payment is linked to the Apple ID or Google Play account. Once full version is paid, you may need to import team again.

If you are sharing to a different user, we highly recommend that the recipient uses THEIR email address with BallparkDJ instead of using your email address. The full version that requires in-app payment is NOT linked to your email address, but instead to the Apple ID or Google Play account. Once the full version is activated, you may import any team that another user shares with you.

Music Setup When Sharing
When sharing a team, if the recipient is on iPhone or iPad and has an Apple Music subscription, then setting up music is a breeze with the new Song Assistant feature and the music should automatically be downloaded and setup upon import. Song Assistant also makes music setup much easier even if you don’t have Apple Music, but if you are trying to receive a shared team with lots of music associated, and you have considered Apple Music, this might be a good time to sign up for a free trial. It is a great service and allows you to listen to just about any music available, anytime, anywhere. And makes sharing of BallparkDJ teams so much easier. For more info on Song Assistant, click here. If the recipient does not have Apple Music or is on an Android, there will be more work involved in setting up the music as the recipient will have to purchase/download the songs on their device. BallparkDJ cannot share protected songs, only details about the songs, but we use those details on the recipients end to do all we can to make music setup as easy as possible on that end. And this page explains in detail how to use Song Assistant with Simple Song Downloader to restore music on a shared team.

Family Sharing
If someone on your family sharing plan shared a team with you, you should have access to any of the iTunes music they purchased for the team without having to pay for it again.  The purchase of the full version is also shared to others on our Family Sharing account. Trying to sync up songs through family sharing which another family member has purchased can have some pitfalls.  Here are some things you might check if you're having any problems.

  • In Settings, find the Family Sharing section and make sure Family Sharing is turned on for both the sender and the recipient and that Purchase Sharing is turned on within Family Sharing.

  • In the iTunes Store App, click on the More button at bottom right and then click on Purchased and then click on Music. Click on "Not on This Phone".

  • Now click on the Artist, then the Album, and then click the Cloud/Download button next to the song to download. If you see "Play" next to the Song, or "Downloaded" next to the Album, then you should be ready to use the song in BallparkDJ.

  • We have still encountered situations where this still doesn't work. You may find that you have to navigate to the song in iTunes and go through the purchase process again. Often, during this process, it will detect that you've already paid and not charge again, but last resort, it will charge you, but you'll now have the song available for BallparkDJ.
