Hi Kingnight,

Firstly, thanks for trying the app :)

Which artist were you trying to search for? I'll try to see if there's a way to get access to that particular artist's page.

Regarding search...

Currently is a "general" search. Meaning, it will search both song titles AND artist names.

Howeever, the LastFM API also has different types of search eg. search artist names ONLY, search song titles ONLY etc. This might solve the problem (but also maybe not). I will incorporate a more advanced search once I think of an elegant way of layering into the interface.

Another alternative is to have also use another music database (eg. musicbrainz) which might have better artist information.

Any suggestions for improvement / stuff you like / don't like, I'd be delighted to hear.

Thanks once again! Sprockettyz

PS: Full functionality mainly means ability to save / share playlists, last.fm scrobbling (upcoming release), as well as early access to experimental functionality (one of which is "radio" feature, which I'm quite excited about, because it really works quite well.).
