Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
Frequently Asked Questions Q: How is this different/better than Pandora? A: Pandora allows you to listen to music IT thinks you might like while nanoGroove taps into the extensive online database of Grooveshark to play what YOU KNOW you like. Q: Is nanoGroove the official Grooveshark application for Windows Mobile. A: It's such a good app, both functionally and visually that I can see where you would think that. However, nanoGroove is in no way affiliated with Grooveshark. Q: Where do I go to make playlists I can import into nanoGroove. A: Visit Grooveshark.com and setup a free account. Once you setup playlists of your favorite music, you can import them into nanoGroove on your phone. Simply press "view" in the bottom right corner of your screen and then select "Playlists" from the pop-up menu. On first use, you will need to enter your Grooveshark login information. Once it logs into your Grooveshark account, press refresh and then select the playlist from the drop down menu. Q: Okay, so I went and got myself a new Grooveshark account. It's a pretty cool site. I can't believe I have not been using that site everyday! I made some playlists and follow all the steps in your FAQ to get them loaded into nanoGroove but they are not showing up. What did I do wrong? A: Great! I am glad you are enjoying Grooveshark. I use it myself at home, work and now with nanoGroove I even use it in the car! As for your playlist problem, don't be too concerned about it. You can usually create a playlist and seconds later load that list into nanoGroove. However, it has been reported on occasion that it takes some time to get from Grooveshark to nanoGroove. So just be patient and try it again later. Q: How many playlists can I load? A: At the moment, you can only load 10 playlists from Grooveshark. Note that it will only load the first 10 in your list. This limit has been removed in the new patch. Q: I have a suggestion to improve this application, will my ideas be taken into consideration? A: Absolutely. Please post any ideas to improve this application in this thread and a compiled list will be passed on to the developer. If you really want to contact nanoGroove yourself, please visit the website linked in post #1. But remember, the more emails he has to read through, the less time he has to implement the ideas you have. Q: I use the radio feature in Grooveshark that utilizes a Pandora style selection of music for me. Does this work in nanoGroove? A: It currently does not, but that is a great suggestion I will pass on. Q: Does my subscription cover the costs of updates? A: Yes, for that major release. For example, if you purchase v1.x you get all of the updates until v2.0 is released. Q: nanoGroove stopped working. Is something wrong? What's going on? etc. A: nanoGroove support has been keeping me updated via email with any major news and/or updates. So far I have been able to pass the information along within minutes to this thread. So unless they catch me sleeping this thread will be the best source of up to date information of what is going on. ***FAQ Section still a work in progress. Please check back for more info. |
Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
Some carriers appear to not play nice with this app and/or the Grooveshark stream. Will update this post with more info when I have time. For now, if you are having problems with the stream where it plays a different song than what you had selected, or simply does not play anything at all, please report your carrier name and the country. Just because it is reported working or not for a specific carrier in this list does not mean you will have the same results. This is simply a compilation of reports I have received. If you are using a carrier that is listed as not working, don't be afraid to download anyway and give it a try. If you receive positive results with one of the carriers that are reported not working, please post in this thread.
Quick list: Working: USCC - United States Alltel - United States Sprint - United States Verizon - United States Not working: Telus - Canada Vodafone - Holland Again, I am running out of time at the moment and will revise this post sometime this evening. |
Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
Used it, not worth 5 bucks, its full of bugs. Just plain old quits on you... Acts like its playing and isn't. It also has random errors over EVDO connections that their tech support admitted some of them are Grooveshark's fault and nothing they can do. So if there is nothing they can do about errors i'm having. then why would i pay $5?
the app had the potential to be awesome, unfortunately it has a long way to go to get there. with that said there is already a nanoGroove thread, why start a new one that looks very much like spam? are you pushing their software for them? |

Not sure how this appears to be spam to you. I was in contact with the developer of nanogroove about a few things and in the conversation asked him if he intended on putting up a thread with a FAQ on these forums. He stated he did not have time to do so and encouraged me to do this for him if I were so willing. |
Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
works well on alltel....having to build your playlist every time is a hassel...sound quality is very good...radio feature would be nice....having a "save playlist" or "select all" would be a feature I would like to see....overall worth the $5 bucks.

As for it feeling like spam, i just look at the first post and i hear "Hi Billy Mays here!, Bringing you another great product...." but that's my opinion lol Maybe if nanoGroove was offering PPCG users a discount on the app or some coupon code then it wouldn't feel so spammy for the advertisement they are getting with this thread. Hook us up with a deal. :P |
Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread

Opinion noted, I'll continue with this thread as my main objective of the thread was to give people a place to go to discuss this application with a running FAQ section. It's an app I enjoy using and as a result of this thread, the developer gets some more exposure. When the app only costs $5 to begin with, I don't see a need for nanoGroove to offer a PPCG discount but that is just my opinion. |

Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
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 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. |

and i am not a "nonagroove spammer". i don't doubt that you have had a negative experience- but different people in different parts of the world on different carriers are having different experiences. Considering 1 song download = $1, $5 to listen to all the music i want all the time seams reasonable. |
Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
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?

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. |
Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
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.

Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
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$ :-\" |
Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
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...)

edit: while on the topic of "adding" functionality to grooveshark it has to be possible to force groove shark to cache more than just the song currently playing |
Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
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. |

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.. |
Re: The **Official** nanoGroove thread
Please Merge!!!!

Can't load more than 10 playlists. And only the first 10 you created, none since that :(
