Can't seem to get it to work.

Ok I'm trying out this product and can't get it to work how I need it. I thought it would tweet from my playlist but that's not the case. I pretty much plays all the songs and over 2000 songs is too much to search through for what I need. I have a storm 2 and I can't get it to tweet my information at all :(

The author alluded to apps that do something similar? Anyone familiar with these?

I must be missing the point...because I do not understand why on earth I want my tweet updates/timeline to include a bunch of people's "what I'm listening to now". Why do I care? Seriously, this just junks up the timeline IMO. I hope there's a way to turn off the "what I'm listening to" because I find it pointless and useless and really can't stand the thought of weeding through the "junk" to get to what I really use twitter for, which is to see what is going ON in the world, not what people are listening to.

I hate these kinds of apps.

Thank you for sharing this Bla1ze. I think we recently discussed whether or not Slacker, Grooveshark, or Pandora allowed the tweet ability per song.

Ill have to check this out. Crack on...!

Bla1ze,

Thanks for the POST. I am the developer of the app. Thanks to everyone who downloaded and provided me feedback today.

It is my first app, so I am still learning what I am able to do and not.

There are some limitations I need to work on...

1) BIS users seem to be having trouble connecting.
2) It only recognizes .mp3 files at the moment.
3) The only option is to point to a root folder and it will play in sequence or random the files in that folder and it's sub-folders.
4) It only works on OS 5 and greater devices.

I wanted to just integrate with the base media player, but was told in the dev forums there is no API to integrate with the built in now playing app. Maybe OS 6?

As to why, it was something people do anyway #np is very often a trending topic. I just wanted to make it easier to do while listening to your music.

I created a separate Twitter account to post #np messages that do not show in my main timeline but contribute to trending artists etc.

There are options to auto tweet each song as you listen to or a button next to the media control where you can manually tweet a single song.

Thanks,
Kevin

Be on the lookout for the Blaq twitter client for Blackberry by @hamrick, @kfow35 and @blaqtweets.

This feature is built in and integrates with your media player so you can tweet the song you are playing straight from the media app.

Blaq will also be the best looking twitter client you have ever used by a long shot. Check out the website http://allblaqeverything.com (moving from tumblr to wordpress at the moment so its not 100% ready to go)

Heres a video of the feature at work... http://yfrog.com/5cvid00012201007122338z

i downloaded it, tried it out, and deleted it. yes it does tweet the updates as to what you are listening to, but you have to listen to it via the Tweet Media Player which is stoneages behind the already average Blackberry default media player.... Its not worth the time, the download, the install, or the uninstall. Wait for Blackberry to release an update for the final Twitter app. Maybe it will be something included there, since the Twitter for Blackberry app is so well integrated into the OS.

I used to feedback to ubertwitter hoping that they would be able to pull this one. Looks like another tweet client to install. Bummer.
