FAQs

Have questions about MyFitnessDJ? If these FAQs don’t provide an answer, please email: support@myfitnessdj.com

Q: What does MyFitnessDJ do and why should I use it? 

Q: I just downloaded MyFitnessDJ. Where do I start? 

Q: MyFitnessDJ is misbehaving by……

Q: Help! My iPhone exploded on reentry from Mars. [got flushed down the toilet || was eaten by my pet alligator || etc.] Is there any chance MyFitnessDJ magically saved all my work just in case?  

  • Good news! Every time you change a cue, MyFitnessDJ backs up that playlist to your iCloud account. It saves two files each time to the MyFitnessDJ folder in your Files app, available on any device using your iCloud account.
    • playlist_name.mfdj is a compressed data file that any player from DandeApp can read.
    • playlist_name.json is a human readable text file that can be used to manually recreate your work in another app (no judgement if you find something that works better for you) and is of a standardized format that any other player app can use for direct import.

Q: After updating to iOS 16.x or 17.x, music playing goes silent with no warning or consistency. The timers continue as if the music is playing, but no sound is made.

  • This is a known bug in the Music app that shows up randomly. So far, downloading tracks before play seem to minimize the bug, but does not guarantee. Some users find a solution in toggling Settings App > MyFitnessDJ > Media & Apple Music. Others have found success by logging out then back in to their iCloud
  • If you have this issue and offer any clues as to what causes the bug to trigger, please let me know.

Q: I’d like share playlists with my riders when they’re not able to be in my class. Does MFDJ allow that? 

  • Great idea! The best (and only legal) way to share a playlist is to use tracks from Apple Music or YouTube. To verify that tracks are correctly labeled for Apple Music sharing, tap ‘Edit’ when viewing the track list and you should see both a lock icon and a 9 or 10 digit number after the lock. If the track is from Apple Music (you see the icon but don’t see a number or yellow triangle) exit edit mode and swipe left on the track > more > ‘Set Apple Music URL to xxxxx’ to assign the Apple Music URL to the track.  YouTube is displayed on the second line of tracks that are sourced by YouTube.  Once you’ve verified that all tracks are source from Apple Music or YouTube, you can ‘Share” while viewing the track list and send the playlist via email, text or save the file to your iCloud Drive to share as a file.  Your riders can install the free MFDJ, then tap the MFDJ data file and MFDJ will import and play all track and display all cues.  If they want to import more than one shared playlist at a time, they’ll have to upgrade to power pack.

Q: Is there a video I can watch to learn how to…….  ?

Q: What do in-app purchases include?

Q: When will MyFitnessDJ play tracks from Spotify?

Q: When will you release MyFitnessDJ for Android?

  • When I have additional development and support resources for another platform. As of now, I’m proud of the support I give users of MFDJ on iOS. I’d rather provide a great experience for one platform than a less than great experience for more than one.

Q: I’m subscribed to Power Pack or Studio Edition – and have verified in “Manage Subscriptions” – yet those features are not working. How can I get them back?

  • Occasionally, a subscription renewal is delayed or your device doesn’t have internet service when the subscription renewal is sent. There’s an easy fix in MFDJ:Tools > Manage & Restore > Restore PurchasesIn a short time, you should be able to access you in-app features.

Q: How can I duplicate a playlist so I can use it as a template for a new playlist? 

  • Swipe left on the name of the playlist you want to duplicate, tap More > Duplicate this Playlist.  Now you’ll have a duplicated playlist with COPY added to the name. Swipe left and tap More > Rename Playlist if you want to give a different name, then make changes to the duplicated playlist without changing the original. 

Q: How can I recycle a track’s cues using a different music track? 

  • There are two ways to recycle a track’s cues:
    • Select the track that has the cues you want to recycle, tap cues, then tap & hold any preset square. Confirm replace. Then use that new preset on any new track you add.
    • Tap, hold & copy the track that has the cues you want to recycle, then tap Add and select the new track from your music library. Confirm that you want to use the cues from the track on the clipboard on the newly added track. 

Q: How can I copy a track with its cues from one playlist to another?  

  • Tap and hold the track in its original playlist to select copy. Then select the new playlist, tap and hold the track that’s BEFORE the desired location and select paste. If you’ve just created the second playlist and it doesn’t have any tracks yet, add a dummy track from your music library to tap and hold so you can paste. Once your copied track has been added you can delete the dummy track – swipe left and confirm delete.

Q: How can I copy a cue with its text, color and Scoreboard Display Type from one track to another?  

  • Tap and hold the cue in its original track to select copy. Then select the new track, tap Cues, Then tap and hold the cue that’s BEFORE the desired location and select paste. The cue will be set to one second after the previous cue, so you’ll likely need to adjust the time.

Q: How can I copy a playlist from one device to another that uses the same iCloud account?

  • Once you’ve created a playlist on device #1:
    • MFDJ Tools > Backup Playlists > Use iCloud > save ONE playlist to iCloud > select the playlist
  • Then on device #2 (same iCloud account):
    • MFDJ Tools > Backup Playlists > Use iCloud > Get ONE playlist > select the playlist
  • Be sure the playlist’s tracks are available on device #2.

Q: How can I share a MyFitnessDJ playlist that uses Apple Music tracks?  

  • Build playlist in MFDJ with tracks from Apple music
    • add tracks from Apple Music URL so the tracks will have Apple Music urls assigned
    • if added previously from music library dialog, begin track play, swipe left on track, tap More > Set Apple Music URL to …
    • check for Apple Music URLs in your tracks by tapping edit and noting the lock and a 9 digit number
  • While viewing the track list, tap Share
  • AirDrop and email work best for sharing with someone you know
  • Save to Files is a great way to share the playlist to your Files app for sharing later

Q: How do I change the tempo (BPM) of a track?  

With Studio Edition subscription active, tap Tempo Tools > “Swipe Up/Down for tempo adjust”, then you can either:

Q: After adding a YouTube track with URL on clipboard, the video doesn’t play and “… updating” stays at the top top of the screen. What can I do?

  • This issue was fixed in MyFitnessDJ 2.36, released April 2024
  • Some YouTube URLs now include a referral (it’s after a “?” in the URL) which prevents a successful paste into MFDJ. As a workaround, copy the URL from YouTube, paste into a mail app, delete the “?” and everything after it, copy the updated URL back to your clipboard, then add the track.
  • The URL on the clipboard should look like this
  • https://youtu.be/hyve5cNm8i4
  • not this:
  • https://youtu.be/hyve5cNm8i4?si=3xPZfX7rxY-r2tC1

Q: After updating to iOS 16 or 16.1, the first track of my playlist is repeating or play progresses to the wrong track.

  • First, make sure single track repeat is turned OFF in your Music app.
  • There is a known bug in the Music app that causes playlists to play in random order at times. There is a temporary fix in MFDJ 2.33 (released 11/29/22).
  • If the fix doesn’t do the trick, try this temporary workaround: set the end time of the track that repeats (or the track that ends by jumping to the wrong track) to 1 or 2 second before the end of the track. Do that by selecting the track > cues > End > scroll wheel 1 or 2 seconds earlier. That way, MFDJ will correctly advance to the next track instead of letting the Music app repeat. Hopefully, this issue will be fixed soon. 

PLEASE backup your playlist data regularly. It’s easy > Tools > Backup Playlists > Use iCloud > Save ALL Playlists to iCloud. If you want a double dose of prevention, Tools > Email All Playlists to yourself. 
A few users’ playlist libraries have disappeared during iOS15 updates. It’s a small subset of users, but having a current backup of your work is always a good idea. 

MFDJ v2.30 fixes the bug that caused a crash when an iOS12 device played a track.

Q: After updating to iOS 14.3, there is a long pause after music starts and before timers activate.

  • Issue resolved with iOS update
  • There is a known bug in iOS that causes the screen to freeze for up to 10 seconds after starting a newly loaded playlist. Music will play as expected and cues and timers will update correctly after a pause of up to 10 seconds. This issue has been reported to Apple Engineers and will be fixed in an upcoming release of iOS.

Q: After updating to iOS 14.2, I can’t open some playlists.

  • Issue resolved with iOS update
  • There is a known bug in iOS that causes a freeze when an app attempts to add a track to your Music Library. This shows up when MFDJ tries to add track(s) from a playlist that aren’t already in your Music Library. Until a fix is released, you can ‘skip’ the code that causes the freeze by > Restart MFDJ, swipe left on playlist that causes the freeze > More > Rename, enter skip for the new name. This won’t rename your playlist, but will cause it to skip the code that causes the freeze. Then select the playlist and you’ll be prompted to replace the track(s) that aren’t in your library with tracks from your library.

Q: Since updating to iOS 13.3, tracks added to a MyFitnessDJ playlist that are not in my music library sometimes play a random track when selected instead of the track I selected.

  • Issue resolved with iOS update
  • This is a known issue with the Music app that MyFitnessDJ uses to play Apple Music tracks. The best workaround until a fix is applied is to add tracks to your Apple Music library before adding them to MFDJ.

1) Swipe up or down on any playing screen in portrait orientation to adjust tempo or

2) Adjust the third wheel of any cue time to change that track’s tempo each time that cue displays

Tracks with BPM assigned in Tempo Tools – using auto detect, or tap the beat or manual entry – will display BPM. Tracks without BMP assigned will display a percentage of original tempo. If you change the tempo by setting the third wheel on a cue, that change will persist as long as the track plays and no other tempo change happens from swiping or another cue. So if you want a track to always play 10% faster, set the first cue at 0:00 and set the third wheel to 110%.

Q: Why do some tracks play louder than other tracks?

  • Getting all tracks to sound like the same volume level is pretty tough. MFDJ uses the native music player for many tracks – like Apple Music or those in the iTunes library that are part of iCloud-  and the native audio player (I know those two sound similar but are two separate underlying functions for the operating system) for others – like music files you own and are downloaded to the device. 
  • The tough part is that many music tracks are “mastered” at different levels and MFDJ doesn’t have a reliable way of knowing those levels when a track plays in the music player. 
  • The silver lining is that more and more current tracks are being mastered at a common level, so more new music should sound the same than older tracks. If you have tracks that you own that seem quieter than standard Apple Music tracks, you can try this trick that will sometimes bring their levels up:
    • In iTunes on a Mac, in Preferences > Import settings > MP3 + High Quality . 
    • Select the track that seems low in volume click File > Convert MP3. 
    • This will net an additional track in your iTunes library that will hopefully be a higher volume.  You can identify the newer version of the track with its “Date Added” field. 

Q: I use MyFitnessDJ with a MyZone display (or Coach by Color system) so the color zones are not the same. Is there any way to make them match?

  • Sure! Activate the Studio Edition subscription, tap Tools > AlternativeColors. Each time you turn it on or off, you get the option to convert the working zone colors of the current playlist. When turned on, Alternative colors substitutes Blue / Green / Yellow / Orange / Red with Grey  / Blue / Green / Yellow / Red as the color zones.

Q: I used Schwinn’s Class Tamer, but it’s no longer available. Is there an easy way to transfer my Class Tamer playlists to MyFitnessDJ?

Q: I really wish MyFitnessDJ could do… (cool thing that MFDJ already does)

Q: Does MyFitnessDJ play tracks from Apple Music?Yes! Use Apple Music to choose a song or build a playlist, tap “Make Available Offline” then add the track (or all tracks from playlist) to a MFDJ playlist. The crossfade feature will not work with Apple Music tracks, but you can leave it on for use with other tracks in the playlist.  

Q: How does MyFitnessDJ Scoreboard work? 

Check out All About MFDJ Scoreboard

Calculate and display Watt & Heart Rate data from ANT+ sensors when connected to a network that has a WASP – ANT+ to wifi bridge (released Oct 20, 2014)

To give it a try, just install the free app by tapping:

get.myfitnessdj.com

Join the wifi network that is used by the WASP, then start MyFitnessDJ. You can verify that the sensor data is being read by tapping “Tools”. The option under FTP Control Panel will change to WASP ANT+ Device Menu

Once the WASP data is being read, add a new track and select any of the zone presets, play the track and turn the device to landscape. The desired zone will display and up to 6 ANT+ sensor data will be dispayed as well. For more than 6 sensors, activate the Studio Edition  in-app purchase.

A sample playlist with Scoreboard cues assigned and reduced size music files can be loaded by tapping:

happyagain.myfitnessdj.com  

How can I display cues, timers and rider watts and heart rate zones on a studio monitor?

That’s exactly what MyFitnessDJ Scoreboard does! Activate Studio Edition in tools, then turn on AirPlay. Audio & Video is transmitted via AirPlay. If an AirPlay device is not available, connect your iPhone/iPad to a display with a Lightning to HDMI connector. Audio & Video will default to the attach monitor, but attaching a cable to the headphone jack will route audio through that connection while leaving Video on the attached monitor. 

Q: Sometimes my playlist jumps through all the tracks after playing just a few seconds. What’s wrong? 

  • Make sure you’ve updated your iOS & MFDJ to the latest versions. Also, be sure Crossfade in Tools is either OFF or at least 4 seconds. 1, 2 or 3 second crossfade is no longer compatible with all playlist progression. Although updated version of MFDJ won’t allow those crossfade times to be set, if you haven’t changed your crossfade in a long time, it may still be 1, 2 or 3 and causing a problem.  

Q: I’m having trouble with playlists progressing correctly that have Apple Music tracks since iOS11 launched. What can I do?

  • Please update MFDJ from app store as this bug has been fixed. 

Q: After upgrading to iOS 11.3, music starts to play when I select a playlist and if I select another track, two tracks play at the same time. What can I do?

  • Please update MFDJ from app store as this bug has been fixed. 

Q: After upgrading to iOS 11.3, I can’t create a new playlist. What can I do?

  • Please update MFDJ from app store as this bug has been fixed.

Q: After updating to iOS 10.3, tracks from Apple Music don’t progress correctly causing play to jump to a random track from my library that is not in the MyFitnessDJ playlist. What can I do?

  • Please update MFDJ from app store as this bug has been fixed.

Q: After updating my iOS, I can’t play music or add tracks. How can I fix this?

  • Please check the privacy settings for MyFitnessDJ in the Settings app. Open Setting app, scroll to your list of apps, find MyFitnessDJ and tap. Starting with iOS10, there are new privacy requirements to use music from the iTunes music library. Make sure the Media Library switch is ON.

Q: After updating to 2.9.15, the app crashes when I try to play a track from a shared playlist. What can I do?

  • Please update MFDJ from app store as this bug has been fixed.

Q: After updating to iOS10, I can’t paste a track URL from Apple Music. How can I fix this?

  • Please update MFDJ from app store as this bug has been fixed.

Q: After updating to iOS9, MyFitnessDJ voiceovers are now in Russian (or Spanish or not the language I want). What can I do? 

  • iOS9 brings enhanced language support, but version 2.9.9 of MyFitnessDJ doesn’t properly take advantage of the new feautures. Version 2.9.10 will fix the problem. In the meantime, you can turn off Voiceover in Tools or take advantage of the bug to learn a new language!

Q: How do I share a playlist including music files to another device or Dropbox? Click here for everything you want to know about sharing (backing up) your MyFitnessDJ playlist including music files to another device or Dropbox.Q: What’s the difference between MyFitnessDJ & MyFitnessDJpro?  ** MyFitnessDJpro is not longer publicly available. All features of pro are now available in MyFitnessDJMyFitnessDJ is free and for anyone who wants to increase their workout efficiency by adding structured cues to their workout playlists. It can also be used by participants in a Group Fitness class to get cues from an instructor.MyFitnessDJpro is for group fitness professionals who use the features of MyFitnessDJ while teaching classes or working with small groups. The pro version includes Cue Lookahead to see which cue is coming next, the ability to connect a video monitor for an entire class to view, an HTTP stream to share cues and ‘Network Leader’ capabilities for any device that’ near.(Power Pack in-app purchase unlocks all Pro features in the free app.)

Q: Can I use iTunes Match in MyFitnessDJ(pro)?

Yes, but with caution. As long as tracks have been downloaded to your device they will play great in MyFitnessDJ(pro). If a playlist you select has a track that’s not on your device, you’ll get a reminder that it needs to be downloaded. Just find the track in the Music App, and tap the iCloud button.

BUT when using iTunes Match, if your device gets close to being full, it may remove tracks that are available on iTunes Match. MyFitnessDJ(pro) has no way of getting those tracks back to your device, so you may have to repeat the above process when you least expect it. If it’s 30 seconds before a class starts and you have no network connection, it’s very frustrating.  

Q: How does the Tabata preset work?

– It fits as many 20 second ON + 10 second OFF intervals as it can in the track. To try it, be sure “Custom Cues” is OFF. While the track is playing, tap ‘Cues’ > ‘New’ > ‘Tabata Intervals’.

>Tip: Adjust start and end times on the track before you tap Tababa to cut out long intros or boring fade outs. 

Q: How do I delete a playlist, track or cue?

A: Any item in a list (playlist, track or cue) can be deleted by swiping left on the item, then confirm the deletion.

Q: How do I email all of my playlists?

A: Tap ‘Tools’ at the bottom of the screen, then ‘Email All Playlists’. You can then restore the playlist(s) by tapping the attached data file when reading the backup email on your device. This method is for the playlist info only. To backup one playlist with music files included, use the “Share” button on the playlist screen.

Q: Can I download a playlist sample?

A: Yes, view this page on a device with MyFitnessDJ installed, and tap here for a sample playlist.

Q: What devices run MyFitnessDJ?

A: iPhones, iPod Touch & iPads running the latest iOS version
