We're really happy about the new version of Serenade that just landed on the App Store, since it's the biggest update so far. We included features that we think makes Serenade the best social music player on the iPhone:

Sing, Sing, Sing!
Do you want the lyrics of the song you're listening to? Just tap the Mic button on the top-right of the screen and we will display the lyrics from Lyricsfly.com if we find them. It's very easy to do, and you can know check out the lyrics before sharing a song, or a specific part of the song.

More sharing
If you don't want to share a link to the iTunes Store, you can now choose to link to Youtube or Spotify. We'll build a search link for those services and there's a very high chance that the song you're listening to will show up at the top of the results. We still prefer you to use iTunes (because that's how we earn money!) but if you want other links, you know have the choice to.

I'm listening to...
You can now add a prefix before the information of your song, like "I'm listening to" or "I really like" so you message is already personalized and you can share a song even faster. We'll add custom prefix in the next version.

Hashtags
When you share on Twitter, you can now add Hashtags next to your message. For now, we have 3 types of Hashtags: #serenade (to help us make some buzz about Serenade), the artist or band name of the song you're sharing and #musicmonday if you're sharing a song on on Monday.

We also made improvements to the Facebook sharing, and fixed other little bugs. As always, let us know what you think and if you like using Serenade, please write a little review about us on the App Store.

We're really excited about this new version of Serenade, now available on the App Store. We've listened to you, and we added features that we hope you will love:

Sharing on Facebook
You can now share your songs with all your friends on Facebook. Simply login from the Settings section, and you're good to go! A cover art of the sond you're listening to will be included with your message (if we find it on iTunes), as well as the link to your song.

Smart saving of your message
Now that you can share your song on 2 different services, we wanted to make it easier to share a song on both services, with the same message. So when you're sharing a song on Twitter, and then on Facebook, we'll memorize and add the same message you typed on Twitter. If you don't want to use the same message, simply shake your iPhone, and we'll clear the old message!

Playlist management
Previously, you had to leave Serenade and manage the songs you wanted to listen in your iPod app. Now, you can do it from Serenade. Simply press the top left button and you can access all the content of your iPod, and add it to the current playlist.

We're also supporting the sharing of Audiobooks, and we made the Settings section easier to use. We already started to work on Serenade 1.2, and we can't wait to show you what's next. If you have any feature ideas, let us know!
