Thanks for the report! I too would like to see those features implemented. Unfortunately, I have no information on whether the developer has these planned for a future release. He does seem to be very open to suggestion as I have already mentioned a couple of ideas to him. Please feel free to keep posting any ideas for improvement in this thread and I will relay them to the developer. As for the radio idea, not all devices have the ability to use that feature and there are plenty of apps available which do this. nanoGroove is designed to tap into the massive library contained in Grooveshark and I don't see this particular feature being implemented but again, I will pass that on.

the "radio" feature is built into grooveshark and plays songs that are similar to to your playlists....not a deal killer for me....I mean for 5 bucks come on....this is a killer app.

Thanks, I misread the previous posters request. I took it as the ability to access the FM radio function of the device. I forgot about the radio feature of Grooveshark as I do not personally use it.

Just a quick question, since this isn't affiliated with Grooveshark, and they are developing their own app, what's to say that this service won't be shutdown soon?
I'd love to see this work forever, and don't mind payin the 5 bucks, but I got burned with Seeqpod going down and if Grooveshark decides to not play nice I don't want to waste money.

What are your thoughts?

Its 5 dollars. How bad can you get "burned".

In any case, it's hard to tell what, if anything Grooveshark thinks of apps like this. For instance, Groovefish used to work well. Then Grooveshark made some changes to how they stream which knocked out Groovefish. The development of Groovefish slowed when Barquest's RL started to become more demanding so Scilor made a fix that got it working again. Given that a fix was possible, it doesn't appear that the intention of Grooveshark was to knock out anyone "piggy backing" on their stream. I would think we are safe for a while. The biggest question is, will Grooveshark be forced to close as Pandora is already having legal problems and may be forced to close. Only time will tell. Look at it this way though, if the app survives for a few months, you've got your monies worth out of it. Just would suck to become accustomed to having it everywhere you go and suddenly have to give it up.

Groovefish won't care until they have an official windows mobile program. They are more concerned with legal issues and penetrating the iphone, android and blackberry markets, all of which have official apps coming.

I think you meant Grooveshark, but in any case there is more than likely some truth to that. But for now, lets just enjoy nanoGroove for as long as we have it. There are always a lot of what ifs out there.

I agree, I just paid the $5 for nG and even thinking of paying $30 for a VIP pass but so far- the free Grooveshark account is serving me well.

I cannot believe I found out about this a few days ago when I read about nG.

$5 for a little app is nothing considering all the things we've all wasted much more money on...

Edit- I see there is a lively discussion on the other nG thread as well. I can only assume a merger is coming soon..
