    Wow, much better... Haven't played many tracks (yet), but the app feels much more stable and 'snappy'. I even dared to press the 'event', 'bio' and 'Similar Artists' buttons. Transition between songs is smooth.

    Only the down-timer to the right sometimes shows 0:00 already, while the song still plays. I never paid any attention to such details in the desktop app, so it might not be a iPhone.app only problem.

    Thanks... now for version 1.1 or a big leap to version 2.0???

    addition to down-timer remark:
    The progress-bar is right (still not at the end, when downtimer indicates 0:00)

    Noted this on a long track (6:50 minutes), and the next song had apperently already buffered quite a lot, as it started instantly (which is nice by the way).

    This is due to the song length being incorrect in our database. Sometimes the audio tracks we stream don't quite match up with the album data we have, so the song lengths will occasionally be incorrect.

    how about making the now playing screen similar to the ipod now playing screen.. high quality album art and the artist, title and album name are on the top bar... looks slicker and has continuity with the rest of the UI

    I didn't have many problems with the last version, so I haven't noticed many changes in the new update. The improved buffering between tracks is a welcome improvement though. Looking forward to the forthcoming major update - which I would be perfectly willing to pay for, this is the best iPhone app by far.

    Works great, what's there, but I'm a little confused - in the original version, I could play my playlist, but since the 1.0.1 upgrade, that's no longer an option. I get "My Library", but no "My Playlist". Has it been removed?

    @sopor6: You may need to open Safari on your iPod first and login to the AT&T WiFi portal before your iPod is allowed to access the internet.

    On my iPhone 3G I find tracks stop and need to re-buffer mid-way through. I also get a number of 'failed' plays.

    FRUSTRATING!! Over three different broadband Wi-Fi networks - cable at home, a T3 at work and T1 at a friend's office, I can't get through one song on my iPhone without two, three or more major "buffering" sessions before it then usually goes to the "Playback Failed" error message which requires starting over again from scratch. What am i missing?? The website experience is wonderful....what's the deal with the app? :-( Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Very sad, even with the updated version 1.0.2 this iPod-Last.FM-client crashes over and over again. Sometimes it doesn't crash for half an hour but then it appears 4 times in a row -mostly if it tries to load the next song ... it says:




    "Playback Failed
    An error occured while trying to play this track. Please try again shortly." -in the message the second "r" in occurred is missing :P (a real error-message haha)
    Anyway, I press the "ok"-button and I return to the app but nothing happens. If I press "next song" it crashes and bring me back to the mainscreen with my app-icons ...




    I really hope that there will be an update soon, an update which mainly fixes the crashing-problem.

    Suggestions for the design-layout:

    - covers in the foreground
    - bigger icons in the "play"/"stop"/"like"/"dislike" menu these once are pretty small and don't want to work every time.

    Cheers -BC


    PS: Good work on the app anyway, and thanks for making it for free :)

    Unfortunately lyrics had to be removed for legal reasons.

    Runs smooth and stable. Thank You!!
    btw. how much bandwith does last.fm consume? 128 kbit/s or more?
  • c99koder skrev:

    Yes, the audio stream is 128kbit/s. There's also a bit more bandwidth being used to fetch the metadata / artwork etc.
