* If the app is having trouble finding an IP address, we recommend deactivating then

resetting the iPhone/iPod touch, then resyncing it.

You can delete your recorded WAV and MIDI files from your iPhone/iPod touch simply
by clicking the "delete" link next to the file name in your browser when downloading.
