ModernMusic 2015.206.203.3288

Enjoy your favorite songs on the go with an efficient music manager and player
Plenty of users like to listen to their preferred tracks in various moments of the day or night and the need to have the most appreciated songs at hand at all times is pretty easy to fulfill thanks to the evolution in mobile technology.

Those who have yet to settle on a music player that they will keep onto their mobile devices have a varied choice at their disposal and Windows Phone users can experiment with an app that is suggestively called ModernMusic.

Tidy front-end, with a practical design

This utility comes with a pretty simple interface, that seems focused more on functionality rather than good looks. Nonetheless, the decent graphics and very well thought organization of the content are not the only advantages.

ModernMusic will enable you to modify the color scheme for the background and accent color, so as to obtain the combinations you like best and with a simple app restart have the modifications come into effect.

There is a minor hindrance you will notice undoubtedly when accessing the "Now Playing" area and it comes in the form of a small advertisement that can be removed only by making a purchase.

Simple playback and queue management controls

The app scans the device for audio files automatically and has them ready to play in a few instants. The commands it puts at your fingertips during the playback are the common play/pause, next and previous track buttons, but they are not the only ones.

ModernMusic also features random and repeat controls, as well as a slider that will allow you to rewind or move forward inside the currently loaded track.

The songs that are queued for playing can be easily reordered, thanks to a switch that unlocks their position and enables you to move them in the list, but removing the audio files can only be done one at a time.

Song library, playlist and Last.FM scrobbling support

This application offers quick access to the built-in library that hosts all your music tracks and has them organized by artist, album or song name, as well as by genre and you can also check out the created playlists.

Besides being able to create these lists, ModernMusic can also import them from the local storage or the attached SD card, as long as they are in WPL format and reside inside a "Playlist" directory hosted by the "Music" folder on your device.

The Last.FM scrobbling feature is a great addition that will allow you to have the tracks played onto your mobile device added to your Last.FM account as soon as you login from the "Settings" area of ModernMusic.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The application has a simple look, practical but also customizable, which is a definite plus, especially considering the nuisance coming from the ad banners.

Function9
 

This utility offers a good set of features for playback and integration with Last.FM, but needs improvements to the queue management and an equalizer would certainly not hurt.

Security10
 

ModernMusic doesn't go anywhere near the sensitive areas of the system and thus it is pretty safe to install and use.

Battery3
 

The app consumes a whole lot of energy, as its power consumption is considerable, which translates into a very high battery usage at all times.

Price9
 

All the functions are offered freely and the only costs related to this application are those regarding the advertisement removal.

Compatibility8
 

Anyone can try out ModernMusic as long as they install it onto a Windows Phone 8.1 powered handset.
