StreamStar v1.1 (beta) released!

I just released v1.1 of StreamStar for Android. This is a pretty significant rewrite of the previous version and includes several new features:
  • There is now a service that runs in the background which helps keep the app from being killed during low memory or low use (inactivity) situations. It also ensures that the app can automatically pause music playback during incoming or outgoing phone calls.
  • A new feature to search for artists and albums using your voice. See here for more info on how to enable that.
  • Ability to now stream OGG music files (thanks, Google!) This was a big deal to me since I originally archived a lot of my music using this format.
  • Many bug fixes (and probably some newly introduced ones.) Please report crashes when possible!
