It mashes up together databases like MusicBrainz, Last.FM and BBCRadio to deliver complete info about songs, artists and albums. And uses unique plugin system to search for publicly available mp3s and streams for desired songs.

Installation

Installation process is simplified to maximum. There's currently two ways of getting the app installed:

  1. Downloading generic AIR package as well as Adobe AIR Runtime and installing them both (requires administrator access) [recommended]
  2. Downloading platform-specific package and installing it in a way common to selected platform (no administrator access required, does not have autoupdate feature!)

Download Adobe AIR.

A: If you have Linux, than absolutely yes. If you have Mac or Win, than you can use one of platform-specific bundles.
