We analyze the steady state regime of systems interpolating between spin glasses and ferromagnets under a tapping dynamics recently introduced by analogy with the dynamics of mechanically perturbed granular media. A crossover from a second order to first order ferromagnetic transition as a function of the spin coupling distribution is found. The flat measure over blocked states introduced by Edwards for granular media is used to explain this scenario. Annealed calculations of the Edwards entropy are shown to qualitatively explain the nature of the phase transitions. A Monte-Carlo construction of the Edwards measure confirms that this explanation is also quantitatively accurate.
