Audiotica 2015.508.1404.5881
Choosing the best tool to carry out a certain task, like playing songs, could need a bit of searching first, because there are quite a few apps that aim to replace the application built-in the Windows Phone OS.
Windows Phone users have a lot of dedicated apps to choose from when it comes to handling multimedia files and among these tools you can take for a spin the one called Audiotica.
Well structured interface, with a nice look
A friendly interface, with a simple look, well organized and with every function at hand pretty much sums up the appearance of this app.
There are some cool backgrounds that appear when accessing an artist's listing, for example, while the neat graphics are consistent all through the application. Moving around the various sections of the utility is done fairly smoothly and without major lags or other types of flaws.
There is a bit of delay to fetch the data from the Internet in some cases, but the real annoyance comes from the advertisement banners that are spread out in every area of Audiotica.
Import local tracks or search online to find your music
This utility relies on several services to help you locate the songs you are after, including Last.FM, Deezer, SoundCloud and Spotify. In case you want to add the audio files you have inside your local music library, the app is able to import them in no time.
The app is good not only for quickly finding songs and playing them, but also for viewing the latest trends in music, thanks to the rich assortment of suggestions offered from Last.FM. Note that in order to enjoy this feature you will have to log into your account.
Built-in music player and playlist support, with could sync and more
The basic commands for controlling the playback are present and Audiotica comes with "Repeat" and "Shuffle" buttons as well. The support for playlists is present, as expected, so you can create new lists in a couple of seconds.
Adding the online tracks to your collection takes one tap and from there transferring them to the phone's local storage takes one tap for each song. The utility is able to handle very well high-quality sounds, as it supports FLAC audio format and it also offers a cloud synchronization feature, but in order to use it you have to purchase a subscription.
