This is the best jailbreak music app out there. Don’t bother trying to find a cracked version of this jailbreak app because you won’t. The author is very respected in the jailbreak community for cracking jailbreak apps. It’s $4.99 in Cydia and it’s worth every penny. A non-expiring demo is available for Pandora. However, only popup and lockscreen controls are available. New updates for new music apps and functionality are frequent and the app works flawlessly.
