Bug with meta tags and AAC+ streams (Internal Stream Engine)
This is a confirmed bug and we have already a fix. Update will be out in the next few days! Thanks for reporting the issue!
Update 06/19/11:
My fault I got confused. The issue was not with the internal stream engine, it was with the Android based stream engine. That has been resolved. I would recommend you try setting the internal engine to OFF and see if you can stream. The metadata addition for the internal stream engine will be soon.
Ads in paid version?
*XiiaLive Paid and Free are two different apps that can be on the phone at the same time. I would suggest uninstalling the free version to avoid confusion.
App looks great but I am worried about security risks
Well the first "Phone and State identity".
Without this permission we wouldn't know when to lower the volume of the stream when a phone call is received or being made.
Second, "gps location".
We have this for ads purposes. If you install the paid version it wont ask for this permission because we don't use ads there.
XiiaLive metadata, stream stats, and playback status intents
XiiaLive will be making the following intents available starting with release v3.0.1.1. The main goal of these new intents is to match what popular music players are using. Example, Amazon MP3 app, Google Music, Last.fm to name a few.
Please note that these actions are sent out with a category defining the release type of XiiaLive. That is if it is free, paid or beta. You can simply have all those categories defined on your broadcast receiver.

please fix, is important
I would take it even further, but every time I hear the music with the music player and then start xiia, the stream is established and there is no sound, only then everything must end with the task manager and then it goes.
Just to confirm I understand the issue. You are playing music and while it is playing music you are opening XiiaLive and starting a new stream but no audio is heard from XiiaLive?
1. Restart your phone and try again.
2. Cancel download if stuck and just restart it.
3. Make sure you have a good internet connection. Maybe try over WiFi.
disable notifications of new songs
How do I disable the notification of every new song in the notification bar? This is a particularly annoying feature and is about to make me batty, as I'm trying to read The Economist while listening to nice music, but I get a notification ever 3-4 minutes. I am not ADD, but feel like this app is making me so. Thank you for any tips.
The notifications happen every time a new song starts playing. Your request is a first but it is an interesting option to have. I will set this as planned.
How do I access settings/options menu?
AAC + crash on GALAXY ACE (android 2.2.1)
I download your new player ver 2.2.4, on GALAXY ACE (android 2.2.1)
almost all works fine but in AAC+ the player remark "Android fail..."
Could you try reproducing the issue and capture the logs immediately?
