Welcome to a new series of FrostWire for Android.
The first thing you will notice is our switch to flat-land design while still keeping our flavor.
A flat user interface means not using any gradients, this makes screen painting faster and more energy efficient, as well as less memory intensive.
New Search
Search now reveals a lot of search results you may have been missing.
FrostWire is a file type agnostic search tool for your mobile, on this release you will be able to see in real time the number of search results you get per file type (Audio, Video, Documents, Programs and Torrents)
We’ve also made a lot of upgrades under the hood that will make search feel faster and better than ever.
A few new search engines have been added to FrostWire’s smart meta search, and more are coming on further releases of the 1.2.x series.
Our first attempt at a navigation menu was ridden with bugs that have been solved with a completely new menu that comes on top from the left side.
Renewed Audio Player
The audio player screen got some love too, notice the new flat buttons, flat progress bar, and new long press gesture on the pause button to completely stop the current song being played.
On the top right there’s a menu with more options, including an option to delete the current track if you don’t like it, something you’d never be able to do with a iOS devices and iTunes.
Also, you can switch songs by swiping your finger to the left or right, and if you want to pause a song you can swipe down with 2 fingers.

Official FrostWire Blog 
I have downloaded Frostwire 5.7.6. for my Mac os x mavericks. I’ve tried holding the cursor over the PLAY/PAUSE button to get it to stop but nothing happens. Please advise. And I find the Mac blogs giving instructions that only a trained computer tech should follow. I’m NOT going into the ‘terminal’ on a Mac. It’s the equivalent of software neurosurgery.
Thanks,
J. Bols.
this feature will be available on 5.7.7. You can try it if you download the source code and build the software yourself today from http://github.com/FrostWire/frostwire-desktop (should be only a few days until the 5.7.7 release)
Sorry we hadn’t implemented this yet for Desktop, perhaps you know about the “Hold” trick from the Android version.
