Hi swampyk08

It's being trialled? I remember being promised faithfully that I would be included in beta testing... for shame Linda... for shame.

Hi gerryk
Not sure about "promised faithfully" gerryk, but I can confirm that there are a few people promised that we would try to get this for them. There were delays with release of testing platform, and we have only received our own test version yesterday.. Request is still in for the original posters we contacted about this.
Will know by Tuesday next week.

Sounds good any idea of a public release date?

Can you give some details, or are you bound by some sort of NDA?

My lips are sealed Gerry. Sorry ):

gerryk

Not even answer a few questions? Like how is streaming over mobile data? Does it have gapless/crossfaded playback? Does it have a 'artists like X' feature?

Any update on a release date for these apps?

Unfortunately, guys, you have really missed the boat on this one, at least where I'm concerned. I have my personal collection uploaded to Google Music, and have Spotify for everything else. I don't see what Eircom can deliver at this stage that would get my interest.

Hi gerryk

I can understand where your coming from, we were hopeful the app would be available for the start of this year, however we do not want to release the app until we were sure the platform functionality was working seamlessly.

Thanks, Mark

The apps (Android and iOS) were announced over two years ago and were supposed to be delivered in 2011. I think gerryk is right on this, you've missed the boat, and the longer you wait to launch the fewer customers will remain.

I've gone to Spotify because I was tired of waiting. Very happy with their service, it would take a lot to entice me back.
