Hello!  
I find that I’ve never been able to play audio from the Music app while running Tagtool on my iPad (Pro gen 4). Is there something I’m unaware of, or is it that audio cannot be played while Tagtool is running?

Thank you, and thank you for the latest update!!

Hello,

That’s correct—when using Tagtool, it prioritizes media playback. We’ll look into it and aim to adjust this in the next update.

Thank you for bringing it up,  
Mat

Hey,

You’re not missing anything — this was indeed a limitation, but it’s been fixed in the latest beta update: **Tagtool 1.5.0-b30** , released today!

Music from other apps (like the Music app) now keeps playing in the background while Tagtool is running on iPad. So you’ll be able to have your soundtrack going while you create!

Grab the update via TestFlight — if you’re already in the beta, you’ll get notified automatically. New to the beta? You can join here:  
👉 [Join the Tagtool beta - TestFlight - Apple](https://testflight.apple.com/join/T1vEQath)

Enjoy the music!

Yours,  
Mat
