iPABC Availability and Download
Downloading ABC files to iPABC
iPABC is a simple ABC player/viewer for the iPhone or Ipod Touch.
iPABC provides the ability to both search, sort, play and view ABC tunes (stored in tune books=ABC files) as text or music. The ABC files are downloaded from the internet (or from a local web server if you have one). See later for how to achieve this.
Here are some sample iPABC screens :-

Here is a list of the changes I have made to ipABC since its' inception in December 2009.
The most recent version is available below.
iPABC will soon be available for download from iTunes ... I will put a link to iTunes here when it is iPABC is available.
Two version will be available :-
Apologies to all that I'm charging for the fully functional version ... unlike all my other offerings. Apple charge an annual developer license (60UKP/Year) for the privilege of being able to deploy the applications onto the iPhone or iPod Touch (unlike the other platforms where all the necessary development tools and mechanisms are free). I'd quite like to recover my annual monetary costs on this one (not including my own time though) ! For the same reason, source code is not available (email me if you're interested though).
Files can be downloaded into iPABC over the internet in one of three ways :-
Feel free to use the example web page (abcidx.htm) as a template for your own web pages linking to your own ABC files.
I may at some point write a simple Java based web server application specifically for serving out ABC files to iPABC. This would enable you to more easily serve the ABC files to iPABC without the need for designing web pages. I currently have other priorities so this may not happen for a while !
