Android client support MusicCabinet features?

So I've recently come over from Audiogalaxy (as the jerks at Dropbox bought the company and shut it down) and one the biggest downfalls I've noticed is the lack of an official "Genie" type function--this is why I'm using MusicCabinet, not to mention the last.fm integration is amazing.

How exactly can I use the artist radio feature of MusicCabinet from an Android client? I see iSub supports MusicCabinet features but can't seem to find a comparable Android client.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Using the official Android client or DSub (most people seems to prefer the latter): browse to an artist, an below the album list comes "Related artists", "Top tracks" and "Artist radio". The artist radio is automatically generated so to get a new one, refresh the view. It's basically a smart playlist generated from the music you have.

(The extended features from MusicCabinet are exposed to all clients, there's no special support built-in for iSub)

Awesome, thanks for the quick response. Looks like the official app kinda sucks as it doesn't show this for me (not to mention all my artists seem to be associated with the wrong album, Eminem did not perform America's Here & Now :P), but DSub did the trick.

Thanks!

I can't tell for sure but it might be a caching issue in the official app, I think it should support that. It might just mix up ids if you just previously browsed your library as a standard Subsonic 4.7 server.
