Samba, Samba, you know you wanta! – MusicStreamer Review

This app has breathed new life into my Kingston MediaLite Wireless G2, a decent wireless media device with built-in samba (SMB) sharing whose own app's music functionality is pretty lame. As mentioned by other reviewers and in the subject, MusicStreamer allows mounting of samba (SMB) shared folders and once you have pointed it to one, it indexes that directory and its sub-directories and locates all music files. While at home, I can point to the same drive share that I have on my portable and have easy access by toggling between profiles. On the subject of toggling, I like the fact it toggles between album mode, playlist mode & "driving" mode (the one with a steering wheel icon), which makes the controls really big. Overall, I have been pleasantly surprised how feature packed and easy to use this app is, with many features being so intuitively placed. In addition to its functionality, I really like the design of the app icon/logo, as well as the look and feel (including color scheme) of the app itself, which are details that many apps out there are missing. So, for this, my eyes thank you =) One last thing… Nathan from Stratospherix was very responsive to some questions I had about playlists and I look forward to watching this app continue to improve over time. Many Thanks!
