As for the Audiosurf FM update, it's now available online. You can get the software by simply running Steam. According to the creator, Dylan Fitterer, the FM update enables users to "ride their music."

Much of things found in this particular has been requested by requests and feedbacks from concerned communities. Thus, the FM update is packed with yummy features such as last.fm audioscrobbling, running Audiosurf as a music visualizer, scoreboard comments, and a whole lot more.
