Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion has just made available for download a new flavor of its new BBM Music app for BlackBerry smartphones.

The new application release, BBM Music 1.1.0.12, can be found up for grabs via the BlackBerry App World with a wide range of enhancements packed inside.

The software was pushed to users in a beta flavor several days ago. No changelog for the final release was made available, but the app should include the same enhancements as the beta flavor did.

These changes range from the payment options that users can benefit from to enhancements brought to search and usability.

For example, the new application release offers users the possibility to Request a Gift. In other words, they can ask their BBM Contacts to provide them with a subscription to BBM Music.

Not to mention that notifications have been included in the application for users who take advantage of free trials. They will appear prior to first subscription charge as well.

When usability of BBM Music is involved, we can count the fact that the application offers users the possibility to send invites via Twitter and Facebook, and that there is also a better “Add Songs” dialog. Various bug fixes have been included in the new release as well.

The release notes for the new BBM Music 1.1.0.12 also show:

Payment Enhancements -Integration with BBM ‘Show what I’m listening to’ – Playing songs in BBM Music will update BBM Status if ‘Show what I’m listening to’ is selected within BBM (Requires BBM 6.1)

Search improvements

-Server side search improvements for new releases and popular content

Usability improvements

- Visible cues to add contacts at application start - Searching contacts by name - Sorting contacts by listens and recent updates - Improved playlist creation process - Improved performance throughout the app

As stated above, the mobile application is now available for download for BlackBerry users via the official App World.
