I installed the lite version and I made sure I have a SkyDrive account. I added some music files but my app isn't seeing them. They are standard mp3 files that I own copied from CDs that I own. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: Just realized what the problem was... I thought it was mp3 but was WMA. Sooo nevermind.

What bitrate does this stream at? Or does it just stream the exact file?

XDA article isnt linking to this thread right, had to find it on my own. Probably why there is a lack of response here.

Anyway going to try this right away, sounds very cool.

BTW, what are the differences between the paid version and the free version?

Lite version of SkyAMP is restricted in its functionality and does not allow adding more than three tracks to the playlist.

SkyDrive's limitations make it well suited for storing music (25 GB of space, 100 MB max file size) and this app harnesses that potential quite well. Downloaded the lite version and streamed 10-15 songs with it and I'm pretty impressed so far.

Will have to test this more extensively once my 11 GB library is online

Will it just play mp3's in order of file name without a playlist? Or were you playing 10-15 songs manually selecting them 1 at at a time?

You can see the 4th screenshot, you have to add tracks to playlist to play.
