I use it almost every day. It's a great app. Different from Orb. The client is super sleek and the streaming quality is very good, at least on HSDPA. The app also comes with a huge MP3 store. Check this out -

This is pretty cool. Thanks for the heads up. Gonna give it a shot and see how it works for me. +1

Thanks for posting about this. I downloaded it and the desktop client but something seems funky. First of all it never finds anythign on my phone even though I'm signed in both on my desktop and the phone. I'm going through a wifi router, do I need to open up any ports? Their website certainly has next to zero info. Also, the destkop client doesn't work very well. I have to right-click on the taskbar icon, and hit sign in, but after doing that I can no longer right click on it either to close it or to configure it. I have to kill the process in my task manager. Then it seems to sign out on its own. Anyone else having any of these issues? I've been a bit lazy about getting Orb set up, but this may have given me the boost to do it!

Ok, I'm finally seeming some tracks. Guess it's just taking a while. Probably will take days before my full library will get through at this rate!

I don't get it, why would you use this over ORB??

The problem with Orb is that it doesn't automatically play the next song and the interface is browser based which is not as good as the other options.

However, Kinoma does not support streaming Live TV

So...does didiom do all of this?

Didiom is just for audio.

Also, since sometime this morning I've been unable to sign into my account on my PC, getting an error "can't connect to remote server" - has anyone else had this problem?

I also couldn't sign in for a couple of minutes this morning. Now I can stream smoothly.
