Mixtapes 4.0.0.7
For those who want to enjoy some mixes other music lovers made available online, Mixtapes from Softwell night be just the thing to try out as it offers quick access to a huge number of songs combined in numerous playlists and has a lot of neat extra features.
Easy to use layout with nice graphics throughout
This application offers you a relatively simple GUI, with a design that favors practical use, as it enables you to easily get to the desired section of the utility and access the desired content.
The elements of visual design are neatly drawn, with transparent controls and some inspired background images posted by those who made the mixes.
If navigating around the many areas of the app is smooth and without any glitches, a constant nuisance comes from the ad banners that appear in every area of Mixtapes.
Find music on the fly
This utility keeps the mixes neatly organized under several categories you can browse by accessing the search feature. You can find more tags and artists by starting a new query using any keywords you want and the results will start to appear as you type.
A great feature of this search engine is the ability to help you find mixes where several artists are featured, so if you input a singer or a band name and then select it from the suggestions, you will have the possibility to carry on the search by adding another tag or name from the list.
An alternative method of finding fresh and cool music is by going through the lists that include the hot, popular and new mixes, as you are sure to come across a few that are well worth playing.
Should you care to view the clip on YouTube, there is a dedicated button inside the "Tracks" area when you are in the "Now Playing" section.
Manage your collection, share mixes and set sleep timers
All the mixes you play, tag as favorites or include in the "Multimixes" module can be retrieved from their dedicated areas and also from your profile section as Mixtapes is also focused on keeping the content well organized.
Details about those who made the mixes are available inside the "Now Playing" area and you can add your own comments as well as follow the DJs to get the latest tracks they post right inside your "Feed" section.
A pretty cool feature of this application is the ability to set so-called "sleep timers" and have the music stop automatically after 10, 30 or 60 minutes. There is no way to set a custom time interval yet, but you can deactivate the timer if you want.
