Nokia Music changes name and appearance
The Finnish company Nokia continues to support its music streaming service or through Internet And it seems that these tools continue to grow and find their niche despite the fierce competition. To give a new push to Nokia Música, this company has decided to give a most notable facelift to your application. Something that could well be related to the rumored move to bringing this service to Android and iOS platforms
With this, Nokia Música has its version 4.0.0 which is marked by both a profound visual change and new and interesting features. In fact, even its name has changed to Nokia MixRadio, pointing to the character of playlists or radio stations that it proposes to the user. All this with a much more visual and pleasant design that makes use of the images of covers, singles and groups to avoid black spaces. What does not change is its free and paid offer, which continues to offer the same features to those who decide to pay to have all the stations, songs and listening options Without connection.
The first thing you notice about the new application, apart from its name change, is its new look.Thus, the simplicity of the dark backgrounds is dispensed with while respecting the characteristic Metro style to scroll laterally through all its menus. Of course, now it is much more visual, always showing in the background the image of a record or of the group or artist whose song is being listened to or searched for. In addition, the tiles system is still very present to access all the options. But there is more.
As for new features, Nokia MixRadio includes a feature that seems to have worked very well in other similar services. This is Surprise me or Play me An option located on the main screen of the application and which is responsible for creating a list of playback or exclusive music station and personal To do this, it learns from the use and tastes of the user, in addition to presenting a new thumbs rating system to know which songs are liked and disliked.With this you don't even have to search for a related station, just press and listen.
Another strong point of this remodeling of Nokia Música is the social aspect And it is that MixRadio now allows share the mixes or stations created by the user himself, either through social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, or through a link sent via email or the classic SMS
In short, an update that attracts attention due to its visual changes, but which encourages one to think that it is part of the strategy of Nokiato bring this music service over the Internet to other platforms with an attractive design and features.We will have to wait to see if this is confirmed. Meanwhile, Nokia Lumia terminal users can now download Nokia MixRadio viaWindows Phone Store fully free
