Ah here is first post about the latest project . " Awesome.FM "

I haven't posted post in a while ...Reason: i was busy coding something :P .

Well.. let me tell you what is this new project i was working on.
It is something for music/videos fans/lover .

The first version is focused on music specifically.
I focused on some of the areas to really make it a good soothing music listening experience.

 Music should be quickly accessible and fast in responding

A music listening source should be quick to access and must be fast in responding to user commands .
Yep .. So to achieve that,  it is a light weight desktop application in Adobe Air around 2 Mega Bytes in size and it is lightning fast in processing because no junk code is there and it all coded for speed as ultimate goal.

Finding music of your taste cant be more easy
Sometime it is hard to find any good new songs , specially of your taste .
But this is not the case with " Awesome.fm ". When ever you open  Awesome.fm client, it shows you most recent listened/liked songs by a huge user-base and filtered by genre.

The genre it covers are  " Blues | Classical | Country & Folk | Electronic | Indie & Alternative | Jazz | More/Other | Pop | World Music | R&B & Soul | Rap & Hip-Hop | Religious | Rock " . enough eh ?


Available in all qualities possible
Okay The app is fast and it can help you find your song .You click played it but .. what about the quality ?? What if i have the slow speed internet connection.
Yeh that was confusion while i was making app. It was hard to guess what could be a feasible quality for every type of users.
To tackle that i offered all qualities available so user can best choose on based of his/her needs .
Trust me..  you can enjoy uninterrupted music even on your dial up  connection :P


It find the songs you will definitely like and auto-plays next
Next thing .Yeh you listened the songs and  it was fun .. but what next ? .. Do i need find a song again .
Answer is "Nop" The app find the songs related to the one you playing and it automatically plays next song when it is finished . cant be easy than this.



Thats all for the first version..

But... wait there is one more thing .It is for the geeks out there our  app supports search operators :D .
Supports search operators
This is one the features i really love .
For the time being it supports only 2 types of operators.More will come soon.

"in" ,"order"
There are limited set of  values for each operator.

in can be : 'film','autos','music','animals','sports','travel','shortmov','videoblog','games','comedy','people','news','entertainment','education','howto','nonprofit','tech','movies','shows','trailers'

order can be : 'relevance','published','viewcount','rating'

Imagine you want to see trailor of inception with highest views.
then do something like the screen shot.


Rules to use operators : 
  • Both Operators can be used same time.
  • An operator can be used with single possible value.
  • Operator use is case insensitive
  • There should be no space in operator and value.
Okay thats all for now .
Stay tuned for more and share with your friends .
