Don't do that, almost my posts are based on informations kindly given by a lot of guys here.
This app and its forum, and its developer of course, are all marvelous.

@ccc Can you elaborate on that? That looks similar to what I have, though, a little more compact. Are you saying that addresses the cloud sync issue here?

@cvp Thanks! That sounds like an interesting approach. I could append something unique each time and then when loading load the one with the largest unique value. I'll give that a try.

xthis works, might be ways to simplify

from objc_util import * s=ObjCClass("AVAudioSession").sharedInstance() s.setActive_error_(False,None) s.setCategory_withOptions_error_(ns('AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback'),0x2,None) # s.setActive_error_(True,None) import sound sp=sound.Player('game:Bleep') sp.play() s.setActive_error_(False,None) s.setCategory_withOptions_error_(ns('AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback'),0x1,None)

option 2 means to "duck others". there is another option to interrupt others, but i cant seem to get that working.
If we dont set active false at the end, the music stays softer.
Im not entirely sure if the setActive is needed up front.

Unless Mido was written specifically for pythonista, it is not going to work (e.g unless it is written for coremidi on iOS), since other midi libraries are not built into pythonista, and iOS is limited to static libraries. The point of those links was to give you a starting point if you want to try tackling this -- a few have tried, none have succeeded. In part because coremidi is a very low level protocol, requiring ctypes instead of objc, which makes it extremely hard to debug and get right.
