Confirmed on my iPhone.

I kept my PC on all day yesterday and Audiogalaxy kept the music going even over EDGE. I would have like to use 3G on my iPhone 3GS but in Seattle, if you have 3G on, you'll drop any phone calls. Since I'm one of the few people that use my phone for voice calls, I give up 3G but get better battery life - but I digress.

The shuffle is a great feature. I hit it with a folder on my HD and another USB drive and it found all 57,000 songs. Then, the shuffle put together a 10 song mix that allowed me to enjoy a few tunes I hadn't heard in a long time. Additionally, the responsiveness to a fast forward in my shuffle list was very quick. Again, this was all over a fairly nasty EDGE connection.

Sound quality was really good. Most of my Mp3s are really high bit rate and it didn't choke on any of them.

I would love to see a paid version that could handle .Flac files (a bit of an anomaly for sure) but otherwise, this feels really well baked and ready for prime time.

If you want to know how they're going to make money, just say LaLaLaLaLa over and over again until they are acquired and cash out.

Cool! I'm glad the iPhone experience is just as good :)

There's an entry in the FAQ, re: FLAC. They say they're working on it (and I don't think it'll be paid-for... at least I hope not). It's probably something to do with transcoding, because you don't want to stream FLAC to a mobile device (unless you have very nice headphones...)

I'm curious how much it will cost them to run. Bandwidth is pretty cheap nowadays...
