A comprehensive Info section describes in more detail how to use CenterStage XL and what sound formats are supported.

Ratings and Reviews
Has potential
I have discovered one annoying bug, and a couple features I wish it had. I upgraded the app so I can add my own music, a feature I need. The bug is that when a song is playing the "pause" button is not always there. Instead, the "play" button remains available while my audio is playing. The problem is that I cannot stop the music unless I hit the " mute" button. Then I must hit "un mute" before I play another piece of audio. The features I would like is to be able to have a button play a music playlist instead of just one song. Switching between this app and iTunes is a pain. Finally, I wish there was a volume control on the app. Now the only volume option is the iPad's side volume buttons.
Developer Response ,
Please try the latest version. There have been lots of fixes and improvements since then, including a volume control was added in the app.
If you're looking for playing more than just one song, you may want to try one of my other apps, Platinum Music Player. It can play or shuffle a playlist or play all songs by one artist (through the search feature).
Useful sound panel
I use it in my RPG sessions, to add sound effects throughout. It didn’t take long to figure out the way it works, then I was good to go.
Most customizable of all...
Pros: This app is by far the most customizable of them all. Good sounds to begin with but better when I add my own. Not only that but being able to create my own button graphics helps me locate the buttons quicker when I need them. I use mine at work. When the kids get into my van a voice tells them to "Buckle Up!", and when we arrive Mickey Mouse tells them he's glad they've arrived.
Cons: Your sound clips have to be ridiculously short (can't use it to trigger a song or long spiel), the file transfer system isn't the most friendly of them all (You'll need at least a C+ in computer efficiency) and unlike other sound board apps, you can't load directly from your iPod app (all your soundbites have to be in .wav format - use iTunes to convert).
All in all I gave it 4 stars but mostly because I'm good with computers and could figure it all out. It's certainly the best of what's available. I hope in future updates they allow iPod transfers or at least let us transfer longer (higher quality) sounds.
