Recent mention of Squeezer on this forum got me back into the habit of
downloading music to my phone from LMS. It's very handy and is the only
reason I've got a second LMS app on the phone. Material would be more
useful than the others in that it's the only one I've seen that displays
the music service icon on the front of the album art... so it's easy to
see what's available for me to grab from my server, and what isn't.

fwiw the download implementation in some of these apps seems very basic
(speaking as a non-coder). No progress indicator, no zipping albums,
etc. Doesn't seem to be any error handling that's shown to the user,
either (e.g., when I click Download on something in my library from
Spotify, nothing happens). Not even the option to save to the SD card
(that'd be handy). Not bothered about the files landing in subfolders or
not, as any decent Android music player can analyze the tags and sort
things out perfectly well.

Not sure I've posted on this thread before so let me just say thanks a
lot for Material Skin!
