## What is Ballpark Audio?

Ballpark Audio is the game day soundboard built for baseball operators, DJs, and anyone who needs reliable audio at their fingertips.

NEW IN 2.2 — PLAY QUEUE WITH CROSSFADE
- Queue Songs and Apple Music tracks to play back-to-back with a smooth 4-second crossfade between non-DRM tracks
- Tap + on any Song or Music card to add; queue chip in the footer to reorder, pause, or clear
- Queue survives an app relaunch — pause and resume right where you left off
- Walk-Ups and Sound FX interrupt cleanly; the queue resumes when you're ready

NEW IN 2.2 — SOUND FX TRIM AND IMPORT
- Trim any Sound FX clip non-destructively with a draggable waveform — source audio is never modified
- Pinch-to-zoom on a section, two-finger pan; tap Set Start / Set End while previewing to mark by ear
- Import audio from Files, your Apple Music library, or the Apple Music catalog and trim before saving
- Apple Music clips save the start/end timestamps and play through Apple Music on demand

NEW IN 2.2 — BROWSE SOUND LIBRARY
- Search Freesound for Creative-Commons-licensed sound effects and import with one tap; attribution travels with the clip

NEW IN 2.2 — LIGHT MODE
- Toggle from the hamburger menu when you need to read the screen in bright sunlight; per-device, not synced

NEW IN 2.2 — AIRPLAY 2 MULTI-ROOM
- AirPlay button in the header opens the system picker; route to one HomePod or several, audio follows route changes mid-game

NEW IN 2.2 — APPLE MUSIC FADE OUT
- DRM-protected Apple Music now fades smoothly on tap, matching every other clip; the old Stop button is gone

ICLOUD SYNC (from 2.1)
Your full soundboard syncs automatically across every device on the same iCloud account — walk-ups, sound effects, songs, teams, Apple Music selections, audio files. Toggle in Settings → iCloud Sync. Private CloudKit container, no third-party cloud.

GENERATE AUDIO ON DEMAND (from 2.0)
- Walk-up announcer reads in three baseball voices, full Line Up announcements, and Sound FX from a text prompt
- Custom AI music bed paired with any announcer; pick genre + length

WALK UPS
- Multi-team rosters with team-scoped next-up indicator; generate or upload; disable / re-enable today's lineup with one tap; drag-to-reorder

LINEUP CARD SCANNING
- Snap a photo and the app reorders walk-ups to match; fuzzy matching handles handwriting; on-device via Apple Vision

SOUND FX
- Generate from a prompt, browse Freesound for CC clips, or import + trim from your own files or Apple Music
- Organize into named categories; sort by name, duration, or date added

SONGS & APPLE MUSIC
- Songs tab: countdown timer, played/unplayed tracking, one-tap reset between games
- Apple Music tab: search the full catalog, import library playlists, or add from your local library
- Relink any synced song when the original isn't on this device

A WORD ABOUT APPLE MUSIC AND PUBLIC VENUES
Apple Music subscriptions are licensed for personal listening only. For public venues, use AI-generated Sound FX, files you've imported with public-performance rights, or CC-licensed clips from Browse Sound Library.

### 2.2 — 2026-05-18

PLAY QUEUE WITH CROSSFADE
Build a queue of songs that plays automatically with a 4-second crossfade between non-DRM tracks — perfect for between-innings music. Add with the + icon on any Song or Music card, tap the queue chip in the footer to reorder or clear, and pause + resume right where you left off (the queue survives an app relaunch). Walk-Ups and Sound FX interrupt cleanly; the queue resumes when you're ready.

SOUND FX — TRIM AND IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
Trim any Sound FX clip non-destructively with a draggable waveform. Pinch-to-zoom on a section, two-finger pan around, or tap Set Start / Set End while previewing to mark the exact moment by ear. Import from Files, your Apple Music library, or the Apple Music catalog — DRM-protected songs save the start and end timestamps and play through Apple Music on demand.

BROWSE SOUND LIBRARY
Search Freesound for Creative-Commons-licensed sound effects without leaving the app. Preview inline, import with one tap, and the attribution travels with the clip through iCloud and .bpaudio package exports.

LIGHT MODE
Toggle Light Mode from the hamburger menu when the sun makes the dark theme hard to read. Per-device — your dugout iPhone can stay in Dark while the press-box iPad runs Light.

AIRPLAY 2 MULTI-ROOM
New AirPlay button in the header opens the system picker so you can route to one or more AirPlay 2 speakers (HomePods, recent Apple TVs, AirPlay 2 receivers). Audio follows route changes mid-game. The AirPlay 2 sync clock keeps multiple speakers tight.

APPLE MUSIC IMPROVEMENTS
- Search the full Apple Music catalog and add songs directly to the soundboard (subscription required to play)
- Import entire playlists from your Apple Music library in one tap
- DRM-protected Apple Music tracks now fade out smoothly — the old Stop-only button is gone
- One-time licensing reminder on first catalog search: Apple Music is for personal use, public venues need their own music-performance licensing

PACKAGE EXPORT v4
Shared .bpaudio packages now carry trim points, source attribution, and the Date Added timestamp. Existing v1–v3 packages still import.

QUALITY OF LIFE
- Hamburger menu grouped into visual sections so you can scan it faster
- Date Added sort works across every tab
- Many small fixes around DRM playback, queue handling, and cross-device sync

### 2.1 — 2026-05-09

iCLOUD SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
Your soundboard now stays in sync across every device signed into the same iCloud account. Walk-ups, sound effects, songs, teams, lineups, and Apple Music selections — including the audio files themselves — propagate automatically in the background. Sync over iCloud is on by default; toggle it off any time in Settings → iCloud Sync. The status line shows when the last sync ran, and a Sync Now button is there when you want to force a refresh.

### 1.0 — 2026-04-15
