<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\nWhat’s new in Vagalume 0.3?<\/h4>\n
Major changes in this release include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Support for lastfm:\/\/play\/<\/tt> URLs. These are the 30-second previews (and sometimes full-length tracks) that you get clicking on most of the songs in the Last.fm webpage.<\/li>\n
- If you click on a lastfm:\/\/<\/tt> link in other application (the web browser, the e-mail client) now it will be opened with Vagalume (Maemo only feature)<\/li>\n
- Some of those full-length tracks can be downloaded (see examples below). There’s a new button to download the mp3 file in Vagalume for those tracks. Right now they’re always stored in the Audio Clips<\/em> folder and there’s no progress bar, but I’ll improve that in future releases.<\/li>\n
- As you can see in the above screenshot, now Vagalume shows the album cover of the track being played<\/li>\n
- We have new buttons to love, ban and download tracks, and icons for all of them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And now a bit of spam<\/em>: I’d like to recommend a couple of tracks from some local bands for you to test these new features \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The first one is a band from Ourense<\/a> called Annie Hall<\/a>. They sing mostly in Spanish and their guitar pop is (in their own words) influenced by bands such as Teenage Fanclub<\/a> and The Jesus and Mary Chain<\/a>. You can listen to their whole record in its page at Last.fm<\/a>, or you can play it with Vagalume clicking on these links (all tracks are downloadable):<\/p>\n
- \n
- C\u00f3mo lo ves<\/a><\/li>\n
- Amateur<\/a><\/li>\n
- Haga clic para encender<\/a> (whole album)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The other band is 6PM<\/a>, a Galician band whose first record, Far From Perfect<\/a>, has received some good reviews. 6PM sing in English and their music is darker, more electronic and sometimes a bit experimental. Their music is often compared to that of The Postal Service<\/a>. They uploaded their whole album to Last.fm and here’s the link to my favourite track: Homemade Screener<\/a><\/p>\n
- Amateur<\/a><\/li>\n
- If you click on a lastfm:\/\/<\/tt> link in other application (the web browser, the e-mail client) now it will be opened with Vagalume (Maemo only feature)<\/li>\n
