Download MP3 Music 1.15.13.10
For those who want to fill up their Windows Phone powered device with all the audio files it can carry, one of the tools that can help them do that is suggestively called Download MP3 Music.
Well designed GUI, wit a practical layout
The looks of this app are quite decent on the whole, despite the low quality images displayed sometimes as album art for some songs you can find inside.
Well organized and with all the features at hand, this utility seems to be focusing more on practicality and ease of use rather than on offering visually appealing graphics.
The advertisements are quite pushy and some appear in full screen, which can be a real nuisance. Also, there are two rows of flashing banners that are placed at the top and at the bottom of the screen in every section of Download MP3 Music.
Go through the music database or use the search to find cool tracks
In case you don't see a song you like in the "top artists" or "top tracks" you can browse the genres listed inside the app. A very nice addition in this respect is the "nostalgia" section where you can check out the hits of each year starting with 1960.
The search function this application comes with moves pretty quickly and displays the results momentarily, so you can view the tracks or artists that match the terms of your query.
Several online databases are used by the search engine, so you can check out YouTube videos or SoundCloud tracks at a glance.
Play and save songs on the fly
Downloading the tracks is a one tap job and inside the app's dedicated area you will be able to monitor the progress as the song is saved directly in the internal "Music" library.
When it comes to playing the songs directly from inside this application, you have no advanced playback controls, only a "Play" and a "Stop" button.
The great thing about it is that the music keeps on playing even if the utility is closed or the phone is locked, so you can enjoy your favorite tracks without any interruptions.
