Ampache Mobile in Palm Web Distribution

It’s been a big month for Ampache Mobile.  Buffer Ahead has been a huge success!  I submitted the Application to Palm for distribution which means you can install it on your phone with out any homebrew tools.  Just by clinking this link.  This makes Ampache Mobile available to a much wider audience than its prior home on precentral.

Since submitting the App on April 13th it’s been downloaded over 3000 times and the reviews are in!  24 in all so far, all but 2 are 5 stars.

More and more people have discovered how liberating it is to have all their music at their finger tips!  Thanks to all those who have helped make Ampache Mobile the success it has become.

Next up I hope Ampache Mobile can crack the ranks of the Hot Apps Contest.  So spread the word.  Here is a look it’s current position.

Some Reviews

Excellent app, if you can get an Ampache server working and configured properly. There are a couple bugs, more related to webOS, but there's not much the developer can do about it yet I don't think. Thanks! My 8gb limit is no more! Edit: And btw, once you figure out how to downsample/transcode mp3s, the performance is stellar.

Unbelievable application on all fronts! If you are a music lover this is a must have. Overall it isn't overly complicated but the external ip setup was pretty tricky at points. If you Google any places you get stuck you'll find someone else who worked through the same issue. Thank you Bryce for giving us this picture perfect palm app!

It's awesome, so is AmpachePre, so I have them both. Yes,, it's a little tricky setting up Ampache server, but that is not the fault of this app. Thanks so much!!!

Great app. Dev keeps working on new features and takes user requests into account. I had no problems setting up the Ampache server on my end. With this app I have all my music with me everywhere I go. I use it all the time.

Ampache Mobile and AmpachePre turned my iPod into an expensive backup drive. The feature list on the Pre vs. the iPhone and Android isn't in the same league. All my music from anywhere without taking up space on my phone's drive. Speaking of a drive, I haven't tested the Android, but the iPhone requires a wireless connection and Sprint does not meaning I can stream while driving. Another nice thing is the ability to download your songs to the phone (and later delete if needed) when you know there will not be coverage. The jury is out on which I enjoy more the AmpachePre or Ampache Mobile, but I can say I like the random feature on this app much better. Awesome! Update - the Jury is in and Ampache Mobile, with this update, wins. The navigation and focus on getting the music playing makes AM the best. I cannot believe it's free! Donation forthcoming!

Absolutely the best app that I have found in the catalog. Setting up Ampache was the trickiest part - I think they need to do a better job on their end to provide the documentation that a novice needs - but once my PC was set up, this app worked flawlessly, including all artwork, decent sound, no buffering etc. Recommended.

Wow. Excellent! Only problem is äü.... umlaute.

Great app. It is really nice having access to all my music from my phone. I am not wasting time now syncing new music onto my device: it is already there.

I love this app and Ampache! Why pay for Grooveshark when you can do it yourself and so much more. I'm still learning about Ampache but it has potential for much more than just accessing your music from your webserver.

The only app you will ever need for music!

Outstanding streaming music player, and keeps getting better. Search and play my entire home music collection from anywhere. Prebuffered songs are great when driving through dead zones. Buy it now! Oh, wait, it's free... Donate now! :D
