Last FM Free

Well first off let me just say how disapointed i am with Last.FM. when i first discovered this service on my Xbox 360 a couple of years ago i was kind of amazed at the service it offered. Essentially turning my xbox into a giant Ipod Shuffle with pictures and an endless supply of streamed music.

Imagine my joy when i bought my first android device last year and discovered my whole library and stations had been imported onto my phone, with no need to save any music. Last.FM's official app had to be one of my most used on my first HTC wildfire. As well as having all my "Hot Joints" on the go, it meant i didnt have to use any of the small SD card that came standard. Leaving more space for me to fill with photos of me posing in my bathroom mirror!

So getting to the point imagine my Immense disappointment when i found out upon purchasing a cheap Samsung Galaxy, after downloading Last.FM im greeted by a message telling me "LAST.FM is no longer a free service and costs 3.99 per month/year" (didnt pay much attention when it asked me for money). So after my 50 track trial i was no longer able to use my service or keep my playlist unless i pay.

NOW FINALLY, i came across an app called LAST FM FREE on BLACKMART ALPHA. This isnt the same as LAST FM in the sense it downloads the music to your phone. To me its more like Limewire for your phone but without all the illicit material and viruses.

The way it works it has an easy to use interface all you have to do is type an artists name, the app then promptly comes up with all information in different tabs. So for instance i downloaded a Royce Da 5'9 song. I was able to read his biography whilst downloading single tracks or a full album.

The App itself is very stable, and the best part is you can add the songs to your normal player which you cant with LAST.FM (shame on you charging your loyal fanbase).

It works great over Wireless or 3g networks, the latter being my preference obviously id do most my downloading out and about. I fully recommend anybody who is using there device for Media to stop what there doing and download this app.

FAST. RELIABLE. USEFUL.
