I typed in 4 artist (R&B) legends and nothing was found.

I see they only cater to certain genres or artist...

Not Cool!

Has anyone tried this app over a GPRS connection? It has been buffering for over 10 minutes and still nothing. To put this in perspective, I am able to use Imeem almost immediately over GPRS as well as StreamFurious, although that one can take up to 2-3 minutes to connect.

I'm using wifi right now and it's smooth...

Hmmm... I only tried the new app for a hot minute so can't comment on the client's ability to find stuff and stream it, but LastFM proper has a GREAT selection of soul, funk, R&B, etc. Go to the main LastFM site and try the search again, you will be surprised. BTW, what did you serch for?

yeah, it's smooth for me over wifi too... but my gym i go to does not have open wifi... so i'm stuck with GPRS!

I tried Minnie Riperton, Angela Bofill even Chante Moore

I mean it's not bad at all, I found some old House Vocals...

So I'm not totally disappointed, I was just upset my 3 favorite ladies couldn't be founded.

Simms22: maybe you are not spelling them correctly ???

Nope I know my artist quite well...

Edit: Minnie Riperton finally popped up, I'm even more satisfied now
