How to Upload Songs (detailed)

Uploading songs into iHearit is easy and can be done in two ways:

Method A) Wi-Fi:

1) Turn on your desktop or laptop computer - the one that has songs on it you want to upload into iHearit.

2) On your iPhone/iPod Touch open up iHearit and touch the Upload button in the middle at the bottom of the screen.


3) You should see an address in blue on your iphone that looks something like http://192.168.0.5:8080. the numbers can be different, it doesn't matter.  Enter this address into the URL bar of a browser on your desktop /laptop computer.  It could be any browser: Safari, Firefox, IE, etc.

4) You should see a page come up that says iHearit Song Uploader. There are two buttons near the top of this page. Click the one on the left that says "Browse" or "Choose File" (it's different on different browsers). Pick a song file from your computer by double clicking it. You may have to navigate to get to whatever folder(s) your music files are in.

5) Click the other button near the top of your desktop/laptop screen that says "Upload"

The song you selected will be put into iHearit on your iPhone.Go back to the "Files" window (bottom left) to choose a song to work on.

Troubleshooting Notes:

- Your songs can be in any of these file formats: mp3, m4a, mp2, wav, m4r, m4v, mp4, aif or ogg.
- You have to leave iHearit on and in the Upload screen while you choose and upload songs from your desktop/laptop.
- Your device needs to be connected by wi-fi to the same network that your desktop / laptop computer is on.  You will see an error message if your device is not connected to wi-fi.
- It doesn't matter if your desktop/laptop computer is connected by wi-fi or ethernet, as long as it's on the same network which your device is connected to by wi-fi.
If you have any questions outside this, it's probably best to call me: one -4 one 6- 4 six 1- seven 6 two 5.

Method B) iTunes with docking cable
note: this method requires iOS 4 or greater on your device

1) Start iTunes on your desktop/laptop computer (the one that has songs on it you want to upload into iHearit)

2) Connect your device to your desktop/laptop computer with its syncing/docking cable

3) Click your device on the left hand side of the iTunes window (see pic below)


4) Click the "Apps" tab on the top of the iTunes window (see pic above)

5) Scroll down to see the "File Sharing" section (see pic below) and 6) Click on iHearit (see pic below)
7) click on the "Add..." button (see pic above) and navigate to and select the song(s) you want to upload to iHearit.  You can upload many songs at once this way.

Troubleshooting Notes:

- Your iPhone/iPod Touch will likely want to backup when you first connect the phone to iTunes - this could take a while depending on your system and how long it's been since you backed up.
- Your songs can be in any of these file formats: mp3, m4a, mp2, wav, m4r, m4v, mp4, aif or ogg.

If you have any questions outside this, it's probably best to call me: one -4 one 6- 4 six 1- seven 6 two 5.

  1. Is it possible to still organize the files within folders with these updated methods of uploading files?

  4. Hi Constantine,

    Nothing has changed in iTunes 10 (that I can see) with respect to the iTunes File Sharing. Scroll down in the Apps window for your device and click the "Add..." button. Call me if you have any trouble.

  5. Hi Trent,
    Very excited by this app. In using first method of upload - every song downloaded only the first 28 seconds or so. Why is this?

  6. Thanks for your message and for buying iHearit. The bug you've discovered is one that has come to our attention recently and a fix has been made already. It doesn't happen in all songs, which is why it escaped us during testing. We are close to releasing the next version with movable loop points, and will have the fix built into that. I'm sorry for the inconvenience - it will be out very soon.
