If you love Music you need this!!!

[Adam Shoes]

I haven't had a music program that I have used this much. I downloaded Mobbler to help out a fellow member with a wifi bluetooth problem and cannot stop using it. Yes, it is a internet radio program but to me it is simply a Pandora radio in a different version. The speaker on my N95-3 is more than loud enough to just let it play when I am on Xbox, Sitting in my bedroom, etc... I have hooked it up to my Klipsch Ipod dock in the aux slot and it sounds great also. If your looking for a program that gives you unlimited potential for random music by a certain genre this is it or you save songs as your "Loved Tracks" and listen to just them later.

Go to this link to download...Mobbler

Go to this link to sign up for Last.FM

When you install it, use your Last.FM log in to sign in under details in the options screen on the phone and then you can begin to search stations. I use this with my Wifi at home. If you have used it before let us know your experiences, I would love to hear it.

[Micky]

Been putting this through its paces over the last few days, and its brilliant. Configurable, with your favourites, and styles of Music liked, its great.

Works very well over WiFi too Adam.

[Adam Shoes]

I am going to try out Pandora and see if there is a program for my XM Radio here is the state as well and give that a shot and see what one I like better.

[M8tRiX]

How do you search for new stations ?

Is it start a new station option ?

Thanks,

[Adam Shoes]

Yes, i always just use the artist selection because I am in the mood for a certain type of music. type in the artists name and then listen to your hearts content.

listening to r&b right now in the office on wifi plugged into my computer speakers.

[M8tRiX]

Very cool. going to use it tonight via my wifi

[dreadpred]

yeah thanks very cool this

[TheNCO]

Been using this for a good while now. By far my most loved application

[dkhanal]

This is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks Adam.

Certificate error

[Adam Shoes]

we would need your phone info to help you out...phone and firmware at least.

[dkhanal]

I was able to install Mobbler...very cool!

[gnjuss]

I've been thinking just the other day about how great it would be to have an app like last.fm on the phone,and now I hear it can be done.
Are you kidding me??,I'm downloading it right away!
Adam Shoes,I have a wireless router at home,and I have been connectig regularly to browse or sync my e-mail,I'm on v30,will I be able to use it?!

[Adam Shoes]

Yes there shouldn't be a problem I use it on my wifi at home all the time no problems. Heck I use it at work with computer speakers. ATT is gonna hate me after how much data I use on my plan.

[Micky]

James Whatley likes Mobbler too..

[MazduhFD]

Can't we use our original Music player?...Because the player used in Mobbler sucks imo...We can only go forward and not go back.

[MrCapo]

Any one use this with 3G. I have unlimited data plan but not sure it will be fast enough.

[MrCapo]

I still can't get a3G signal yet but via WLAN this is the best app I have got yet!! Love it!!! I have been a big fan of last.fm for year now but this has made it a million time better!

[gnjuss]

Adam Shoes,if I connect on my home WiFi router,and listen to it,I just wanna know who gets stuck with the bill: my mobile company,or my ISP (that's better of course,because I'm paying for a flatrate data plan).
I'm afraid that my next mobile bill could be a whopper,but it shouldn'be,right??I'm using wifi to connect,and not the phone's network.

[Micky]

Wifi you won't get charged.

Mobbler has an update available now Adam, make sure you upgrade.

[gnjuss]

thanks for the info Micky,just wanted to be absolutely 100% sure,sorry if I was a little annoying

[seifer333]

first of all thanks!! what an awesome program.

Does anybody have an issue where you literally CAN'T do anything else while on mobbler? When i have mobbler on, and hide it in the background, anytime I try to press a button it would create a "pause" during the song. It's not my connection because my 3G works perfectly. If i leave mobbler on at the background and don't touch my phone, the song plays perfectly.

I check on taskman and i have plenty of RAM left...

[Adam Shoes]

you know i never have tried to use it on my 3g network...i always use wifi for it. I can give it a shot tomorrow and see if I have the problem also. I know on Wifi I can still use other apps.

oh yea, thanks micky I just updated it.

[Adam Shoes]

aww ok so I just found something out that is upsetting with Last.FM the loved tracks which I have been selecting quite a bit can only be listened to if you have a subscription to Last.FM 2.50 euro a month same with recommended. But good news is that you can select not only artist, but the tag (i.e. blue, rnb, rap, etc...), user, and personal. This is cool because Personal Library is pretty much anything that has played by you selecting the options above. So if you listen to a station alot you like it most likely saved to your library and you can just select a new station....personal and it will play all of them.

[gavinguinness]

What a cracking program! Just hope it doesn't fizzle out - I would happily pay a subscription to this service! The music library seems huge and some of the tunes it's pullling out are ones I've not heard for years, some I've failed to find! Marvellous!

THANKS! (Yes, I'm shouting thanks!)

[gavinguinness]

Yes there shouldn't be a problem I use it on my wifi at home all the time no problems. Heck I use it at work with computer speakers. ATT is gonna hate me after how much data I use on my plan.

As you say there shouldn't be a problem. I found this on t'internet:

"Q: Will other RF (Radio Frequency) devices interfere with Bluetooth Devices?
A: No. Bluetooth radios operate on the unlicensed 2.4 GHz (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) frequency band that is shared among other devices (microwave ovens, cordless phones, garage door openers, etc. ). Bluetooth radios switch frequencies at such a rapid pace (1,600 times per second) and the data packets are so small that interference from other RF sources is highly unlikely. Bluetooth is a robust communication system."

That said, we know that DECT phones anihalate WIFI in close proximity....

"Q: Will Bluetooth and Wireless LAN (WLAN) interfere with each other?
A: No, both Bluetooth and WLAN can co-exist. Since Bluetooth devices use Frequency Hopping and most WLANs use Direct Sequence Spreading techniques they each appear as background noise to the other and should not cause any perceivable performance issues."

However. I too am having serious problems with the streaming when using A2DP streaming on my S9's and Blackbox. It get's to 20 seconds or so, then buffers again....

I've tried altering the AP channel from 1 right upto 11, but it makes no odds, as stated above, Bluetooth seems to have the full use of this range and should hop around to find the best segment, but in practice, it doesn't work so well. As soon as I disconnect from the Streaming device, the music plays uninterrupted.

Would be interested to hear if anyone's managed it and using which Wifi Channel.

bump for such a good application good find matey

[TheNCO]

I use mobbler all the time too

It works fine on 3G, certainly much better now that I have upgraded my firmware to V30.

Data use is just 16 to 18 KB/s when listening to the last.fm stations so it comes in at around at slightly under a MB per minute. Upload speed is very small.

If you leave the mobbler open and don't use the radio function it scrobbles your tracks and sends the track information to your last.fm profile, very low data usage on this.

This is by far the best 3rd party application out there!

[dkhanal]

I use mobbler all the time too....and I agree...this is by far the best 3rd party application I have ever installed on my N95.

[Adam Shoes]

first of all thanks!! what an awesome program.

I can use other apps on 3g in my area. I have mobbler playing in the background while I use the web. I guess it could depend on how much usage your network has on it I would think. That would determine your up/down speed.

[Jaustin]

hmm just downloaded it and it seems to be a nice little application.

[trixxx]

Hey, having a problem with this... I succesfully installed Mobbler on my N95-4, and also entered in my details, but after this when I tried to switch to online mode, it does not connect via wifi or my regular data plan service on 3g network.. it gives me the error of "There is an error with your data connection <connect> forbidden"

Can anyone please help with this error? This app sounds really good, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[trixxx]

Nevermind, found out the problem... if you type your password incorrectly, you get the message, "There is an error with your data connection <connect> forbidden"

[buxz777]

top program really like it and it works well only trouble ive had is using wifi to stream the radio content then iam trying to use bluetooth to send it to my sony stereo but it plays up really bad with the bluetooth awitched on and stutters and stalls alot

with bluetooth tunt off it works great and i just use the 3.5mm out at the top of the phone (n96) to connect to my stereo and this works fine very good program thanks for the heads up i use it quite a bit

[Adam Shoes]

yea a lot of people are having this problem. We have had debates on here where some feel it is the bluetooth and wifi frequencies and other feel it is the phone not being able to process the information fast enough to transmit. Hopefully something gets fixed on that, soon.

[gnjuss]

hey I've noticed that sometimes when I use this app,my wifi router reboots all of a sudden?!
Could it be that I'm downloading-watching IPTV-and using Mobbler at the same time?

Should I avoid doing this,am I overloading my router???

[sunshinesarah]

I've just installed this - love it! Hubby will be installing it on his N95 8gb tomorrow.

Nice one!

[Adam Shoes]

@gnjuss - I would think so your router can only perform so much data transfer at a time. I know if my wife downloads torrent files my xbox live works like crap and its hard wired to the router. Its just a matter of the up/down speeds your network can handle. As far as rebooting on its own, I honestly cannot comment on that, not sure what is going on there but the slowing would be because your using so much of your network at a time.

[LordTakyon]

Thanks my friend, this is an awesome app. Just type an artist or genre and listen away.

Absolutely brilliant. Listening to some good stuff right now, from back in the day LOL

[Savy]

Can any one help me out on this? I'm a big fan of last FM so I'm really keen to install mobbler. I've download the file but it won't install, says there is a certificate problem

I look at the intructions and it says If you get a certificate error when installing Mobbler, it probably means that your phone does not accept self signed applications. You will need to go to the application manager on your phone and change the software installation setting from signed only to all.

Mine is set to all, but it still won't work. Is this an N79 bug, a Mobbler problem, or is it just me?

Thanks

UPDATE EDIT - Sorted it out by messing around with dates on the phone, and now it has installed

[Moz]

Only just got round to this, mint apps. Cheers lads
