Thanks Alan, upbeat is a real gem for me: I'm open to a wide variety of genres and constantly searching new musical food, so its perfect for me!

This post couldn't have come at a better time. I have literally listened to my favorite playlists 40 times over and it was time for something new. And yes, Noon Pacific is awesome.

Not a bad start, but it appears to be missing some necessary basic features, such as background audio that shows song info (lock screen doesn't show anything), info about the song (such as a way to star it in 8tracks or buy it in iTunes, etc.), and possibly push notifications (for new playlists on Mondays).

Thanks for sharing Noon Pacific. I use to work at Abercrombie and Fitch and a lot of the music NP plays sounds like the stuff they played in the store.

How did I miss this??? This thing is beyond amazing! Road trip coming up, this will make it so much more bearable! Thanks Alan for the tip, you rock as always.
