Eavesdrop: Share Tracks Over Wi-Fi For $1.99

Eavesdrop is a clever app that allows iDevice owners to share tracks with friends over a Wi-Fi network. Currently, the app is available to download for $1.99, although it could be removed from the App Store at any moment.
It really would be great if Apple incorporated a feature such as this into the iOS. However, because of clingy publishers, this isn't going to happen any time soon. But, worry not: Eavesdrop works like a charm, and is reasonably priced at $1.99.
The only downside to the app is that all participants need to have Eavesdrop installed. This means you can't jump into your friend's iPod library without that friend having already purchased the app for $1.99. Of course, you could download your copy of the app onto your pal's iDevice (either by trusting your friend with your own Apple ID and password, or temporarily changing your password).
We're hoping complaints from the music industry don't result in Apple removing this application from the App Store. However, we are urging readers to buy the app quickly (if they're interested in Eavesdrop), just in case.
You can download Eavesdrop from the App Store for $1.99.
