14 DAY TRIAL // The ultimate music streaming application for Android devices, Grooveshark has just been updated to version 2.3.1, which brings several new features and corrects some known issues.
The application has been recently pulled by Google from its Android Market application store, but the developers allows users to download Grooveshark for Android directly from their servers.
With Grooveshark for Android, users will be able find whatever band or song they wish and listen to it instantly.
In addition, one can also create playlists while on the go or on a PC and access them later from the phone or another computer that has access to the Internet.
One of Grooveshark's most notable feature is its recommendation system called “Grooveshark Radio,” which finds similar songs to those in a user's playlist and queues them for playback.
Furthermore, users can store their favorite songs on the phone to listen to even when they are out of the network's coverage.
Grooveshark for Android 2.3.1 change log is detailed below:
- Added support for in-app subscriptions, upgrades, and freebie codes; - Added support for Google Voice Search; - Added support for saving the queue to a playlist; - Added support for posting application debug logs, which will help when working with support; - Fixed support for sharing links, and for opening shared links from the web; - Fixed the ‘stuck in offline mode’ bug; - Updated to using the same search method as the web site (previously the app was filtering non-transcoded songs from search results); - Fixed several subscribed and offline playlists bugs; - Fixed some album art issues.
Grooveshark for Android can be downloaded directly from the phone by pointing the device's browser to the developer's servers and is compatible with all handsets running Android v1.5 or later.
The application requires 3G or WiFi connection, as well as about 6MB of space.
