I did not understand, why it need invite? I think it was not good idea, coz it followed GMail and SocialScope 's way, have no new idea.

Althou I don't agree with the invitation model (it might as well kill the idea before it has a chance to show its worth - see Google Wave) it seems like the best way to go, since you'd most likely invite your friends and they have (or should have...) similar musical tendencies.

You don't wanna end up hooked with a bunch of rappers when all you listen to is Bach right?

PS: Could use an invitation, Beta Zone does not deem me worthy.

I have it, but I dont really understand what it does. Only 50 songs? Whats that all about? Why would I pay £5 per month to have 25 different ones per month but not own the file or increase my amount I can store.

**marc.flores** · 08-26-2011, 04:10 AM

I got invited in last night. Installed and chosen 50 tracks already.

So far, I'm quite impressed by the selection of tracks they have available. I've started formulating an Old SKool RnB playlist. If you're in the beta, add me!

@ marc.flores

just tried adding you, is that ok?

I am intrigued to see how it works when you have people added through it.

**laurah2215** · 08-26-2011, 06:17 AM

I'm in. But I don't like how you only have 50 songs.

**marc.flores** · 08-26-2011, 07:51 AM

I used BBM music to stream my playlist whilst commuting this morning. I was partway through a track when the train I was on entered a tunnel. I assumed the track would cut out, but it had been cached so played on to the end

**will_0708** · 08-26-2011, 10:44 AM

@ Laurah

I think the idea is that you choose and rotate 50 of your fav current tracks and then have access to all your friends tracks aswell potentially giving you 100s of tracks.

I may be wrong about this. But it was the impression that i got.

The streaming does indeed work very well without a memory card inserted.

I think you do have one inserted it downloads the track for 30days.

**Mattma43** · 08-26-2011, 05:22 PM

I am in the Beta also.

**aminrajabi** · 08-26-2011, 10:27 PM

I've been using the beta version for a few hours now and am loving it! Song selection and quality is great. I like the fact that you can cache or stream the songs. The UI is slick, and is very fast on my 9800.

I'm looking forward to actually getting some BBM contacts signed up and using the music sharing feature. That's the real draw for me right now.

**Brian Scasta** · 08-28-2011, 12:30 AM

You actually do have to be a Beta Zone member to get it. If your not and get invited, you have to sign up for BZ first

**BigBadWulf** · 08-29-2011, 02:05 AM

I've been pleasantly surprised by the app so far. The selection is fantastic, and while having a 50 song limit seems small, once you've connected with others, you have a ton of songs to choose from. Excellent sound quality, nice UI, and it doesn't appear too abusive to resources.

The $5 a month is extreme to me, as little as I listen to music on my phone. Perhaps they can offers two tier plan, with one including advertising at a discounted rate. Zero would be preferred.

Folks, I can appreciate the enthusiasm, but this is a discussion thread. For invites and adds see this thread:

**Guatiao** · 08-29-2011, 10:44 PM

I'm in, into heavy metal (old and new), classic rock, prog rock, hit me up...

**qbnkelt** · 08-30-2011, 03:23 AM

I'm in. Loving it. Need to add more songs, started late last night.
Maybe I'll get a chance to add more on the train ride to work this morning.

**belfastdispatcher** · 08-30-2011, 01:06 PM

Me too! Loving it!

**archpopoy** · 08-30-2011, 01:59 PM

Already "discovered" a few new songs! Awesome!!!

**belfastdispatcher** · 08-30-2011, 02:25 PM

Lol, it's going crazy tonight, every time I look at my phone there's a new request, list is growing by the minute.

If it keeps going like this the question will be not if you want to pay for it but if you can give it up lol
