We heard you loud and clear and we fixed over 20 crashes and freezes (gotta love Android fragmentation)
Also we finally added support to upload files from your desktop to your Android.
You can upload to up to 3 different Android devices at the time. We figured you could have a phone, a tablet and maybe your mom could have an Android too, so now you’ll be able to send those baby pictures with just a drag and drop.
Full integration between FrostWire for Android and desktop has been achieved between FrostWire 5.3.5 and FrostWire for Android 0.9.8
Upload gigabytes of files to your Android devices (up to 3 devices at the same time) via WiFi with a simple drag and drop of a folder or a selection of files.
Stream or download the music (that has been made public) by any Android device on your WiFi network and blast with your sound system.

One exciting hip hop artist to watch out for, John Graham rolls out licks and rhymes that create a different kind of sound. He doesn’t only have that rare talent but he’s also bringing hip hop back to its roots all while incorporating a positive vibe.
The man behind Ego Free Productions, John runs the company along with his partner, Amir. According to the singer, the company name was appropriate for the singer’s brand of sound since he provides music that’s “filled with positive messages meant to inspire growth and insight change.”
Success in Retrogade EP is an amazing record complete with 7 tracks. Each song carries a special message that you won’t normally expect or associate with the genre.
Originally from the Bay Area in California, John moved to Philadelphia by the time he was in college to attend Lincoln University. Majoring in Education, it was this move that helped to introduce him to several influential MCs and eventually foster his passion for music.
According to his bio, John isn’t interested in the fame or being labeled the next big thing in hip hop music. His primary goal is simply to put forth his sound and have his music serve as a gateway for opening a “dialogue between all races, cultures, political affiliations, and beyond as we all face issues that supersede any of the things that keep us divided.”
Some of the songs talk about fame and the hip hop lifestyle while others mostly express the artist’s viewpoint on life. For instance, Modus Operandi is a thought provoking song that narrates the rapper’s two cents about music. Complete with a steady and catchy beat, the single tackles the common assumptions people have about music. Promoting music with a more substance than “bling,” the singer definitely hits the point home. Veterans of Foreign War is another track that delivers a statement, as it gives props to the many veterans of war. On the other hand, The Top 1% peels back the skins of hip hop artists and celebrities. It talks about how “entertainers and athletes are paid millions of dollars to keep the masses engaged in fantasy.”
The last two tracks feature Esha J. and showcases a slower, more R&B feel in places. John’s rapping is more laid-back and are somewhat more personal. Overall, the album is definitely worth checking out. One of the few hip hop compilations that step out and take a stand. You can hit the download button above and start enjoying.

We just can’t get enough of Carsie Blanton‘s sweet music. Her new album, Idiot Heart is like a tasteful dessert that melts in your mouth.
The Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter flawlessly blends country and pop music in this ten-track release. Compared to her first album Buoy, Idiot Heart offers a more upbeat vibe.
Blanton’s passion and conviction to her music shines through in this collection. Smoke Alarm immediately charms the listener with funky guitar strings. Her soulful voice is a perfect contrast to the upbeat rhythm.
Together Too Long keeps one foot, or at least a couple toes, in the pop machine. This tasteful track reveals bouncy harmonies and the sensibility of a modern woman.
Unleashing some surprisingly jazzy tunes, Backseat flirts like a teenage love affair. The singer’s approach to songwriting is a product of the transparent times. The verses are not so poetically deep but manages to touch a bigger audience.
Little Death reveals a sensitive issue about violence. The lines such as “he hit her like an avalanche/he hit her like the plague” are chill-inducing. It’s an acoustic lullaby that delves on a heavier subject.
Title track Idiot Heart goes back to the upbeat folk sensibility. Accompanied by a pinch of strings and ukulele, she delivers a lovely track that’s full of energy and hipness.
Conquering the slower territory, Honest Truth is a gentle closing piece that digs up about painful love.
Idiot Heart hooks the listeners with an honest, innocent and raw confession on love. Blanton lays claim to emotional wounds and regrets, turning them into bittersweet melodies.
All in all, Carsie Blanton has crafted a rock-solid album that’s not afraid to touch a softer spot.

Jermaine Riley’s Hello Earth featured on FrostWire for Windows, Mac and Linux
Jermaine Riley might not be a household name just yet but he’s certainly worth keeping an eye on.
Hello Earth is Jermaine’s latest release following his previous records; Goodbye Krypton (which was his debut record) and Nine Ten Eleven – The Refixes (which was composed of remakes). Both of which along with a couple of his singles are all available for free download, just like this latest one.
Mixing soulful R&B with a cool hip hop dance rhythm, Hello Earth makes for a great club album or something to hold on to if you simply need some smoothing tracks for evening company.
Jermaine Riley’s Hello Earth featured on FrostWire for Android
Former member of Brit pop and R&B group, FMD, Jermaine Riley is slowly but surely carving a name for himself in the scene as a solo artist. Showcasing his love for one of the most well-known superheroes the world over, Superman; Riley packs Hello Earth with 11 cuts that range from R&B mellow mixes to upbeat dance cuts.
Paying homage to the creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster; the album chronicles Superman’s transition from leaving Krypton and moving to Earth. I guess, you can say it’s a concept album of sorts. The songs are both catchy and easy to listen to. You’ll find traces of Ne-Yo, Usher and Chris Brown as you listen.
Track like Smallville beautifully features Jermaine’s vocal range. It’s a sweet song that you can pop onto your player and enjoy without much fuss. A few must-listen cuts include Wonder Woman ft. Lioness; Peaceful Day ft. Cherri V and of course, title track, Hello Earth.
Jermaine Riley is an artist that you shouldn’t miss out on especially if you love R&B. Unlike his previous releases which featured covers or 90s samples, Hello Earth is all about the artist. It comes with original cuts and a nice (not to mention) fresh take on the concept album. Really enjoyable piece that you should be downloading right now.
