Hello,
our native Android application have been upgraded to the version 0.2-beta.
This release includes Froyo support along other enhancements and bug fixes, all users should upgrade to the newest version.
Also if you are a developer check out the JavaLib project on Github. Those are the very same libraries we used to build the native Android application, so imagine what you can do if you know Java.
An important news is that an Official iPhone/iPod Touch native application is going to be released soon, built by @softboysxp

Now, words from our developers.
Time has passed from the first beta and the feedback is really encouraging! So… thanks!
This brand new release (0.2-beta) comes with two important news.
The first one is the way you interact between playlists you are browsing and the one you are listening to and another little GUI improvement is the love/unlove button.
The second news is about how things works under the hood.
Our first Android app came with a built-in “AudioBox.fm client”.
Testing such architecture was really hard and took really long time.
While we were developing the new Android application version, we realized that our platform is growing fast and keeping things as they were would lead us to a “really-hard-to-maintain-application”.
To face this problem we decided to split what we consider the “view” from the “engine”.
That’s the main reason behind the birth of the AudioBox.fm-JavaLib project.
Designing, building and finally testing those libraries took a long time and many efforts but the benefits will be really great and you’ll see it in future versions.
This is briefly why the GUI has not yet revamped: the engine has changed and it’s ready to rumble!
With the new Java libs ready we can now focus to improve the User experience for versions to come.
Thanks for your support!
