After all the exciting new features pushed today by the blip.fm staff, there were a couple of changes to the API that weren’t exactly planned – so the Search function in Blipster stopped working.

This minor version is pretty much this: changes to conform to the new API, which brings back search.

There is also on the Search side, a interesting new field returned by the API: failCount. I’d suppose that is a counter of how many times that song has failed to play, so it will prove to be very helpful in the future.

Have fun!
