well worth it, just paid.

Well it would be nice to have a clear now playing list button, Also to be able to play a song from the search screen so as to not have to, search a song>switch to the player view>push play>switch back to the search view.

I would say bury the exit button in a menu somewhere and put a more meaningful button on the left soft key. Maybe the link to the player? or a play/pause button.

It was mentioned earlier but i want to also ask for the ability to add entire playlist to playing view.

In the player view if it kept a light highlight on the song playing it would be convenient.

In grooveshark there are multiple "add" options for a song like play now, play next, add to end of list, stuff like that. It would be nice to see that functionality maybe on a long press on a song.

Also on each song could make each artist or album a hotlink to do a search for more of each field respectively. Example, I search for "most beautiful girl in the room" then on the first hit i see flight of the conchords as the artist i click it and it then searches for songs by artist flight of the conchords.

Also a button to show the most popular songs on like on grooveshark would be nice.

Only 10 of my playlists show up, I currently have 14 on grooveshark, i haven't had a chance to add or subtract any from the website (blocked at work) to see what happens in nG. The weird part is it is a seemingly random 10, they are not in order alphabetically or the order on the site.

Lastly i quite often get "song download failed! (GS_JSON_PARSE_ERROR) and i am on sprint with touch pro2

I agree 100% with everything you said and recommended. I hope that is implemented.

I use this app every single day and it works very well most times. This is the best app I have on my phone and it only cost me 5 bucks. I thought Kinoma was beast for 30 bucks but I use nG WAY more. I can't believe a few are complaining about the 5 bucks. Especially if it works for them. I would see if you tried it out and it didn't work.

I do get the song download failed every once in awhile, but i always get the song to play after a few clicks on play. And once I get one going it plays my whole list with no problems.

I still dont see why I would pay for nanogroove if we have a working version of groovefish. What does nanogroove do that groovefish does not?

Groovefish is having problems playing certain songs. I hope he can figure it out and come out with a new fix. Probably 50% of the songs I try to play either get stuck on Requesting stream or get Failed to start. Off hand, search for Hallelujah Kate Voegele.. It won't play. I like the NanoGroove interface, aside from having to switch to Player to play the songs. Not sure if I'll pay the $5 yet, although that is pretty cheap!

I have much respect for Barquast (The creator of Groovefish), and having used Groovefish since it's inception.....

I liked Groovefish even with all of its flaws.
but...
1. Groovefish search results were limited relative to the same search you would do in Grooveshark.

2. Within the limited result set that Groovefish gave you, only some of the songs were actually playable, a known bug in Groovefish attributed to the way Grooveshark sends song data.

3- If I lost my EVDO and went to 1X, Groovefish would often have trouble continuing to function.

4- Groovefish had no playlist or song queue support.


- Having used Nanogroove for the past few days I am totally in love with this app.

1. You get the full result set when doing a search and I have yet to find a result that will not play.

2. Nanogroove still downloads song data with a 1x connection.

3. Playlist support.

4. Cover art.

5. Great audio quality.

6. Totally worth $5

I do agree with the feature suggestions mentioned in an earlier post as far as having the player button in place of the exit button on the search page, this would make for easier switching between the two. Highlighting the current song would also be nice. I had read in another post that a feature to resume after a phone call would also be helpful, but I have not yet run into this problem.

All in all a great program and mostly everything the groovefish community was hoping for in a program.

I bought this and have been using it the past 24 hours. Works great, though is a bit flaky about starting playback during buffering sometimes. Devs are fairly responsive also.

This work pretty good I just have to built up my playlist on GrooveShark. But it made my phone crash a few times and also my sound on my phone was gone for a bit, but after a couple of soft resets it fixed it.

Defiantly not worth 5$

So funny thing happened to me, first off a song i was getting error on yesterday played today. More interestly i exited nG and now 2 hours later pulled my sd card out and found a file groovy.mp3 that is that song with the full tag filled out (artist/album/etc...)
