Music & Audio 1.0
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 Music & Audio.
Clean and easy to use interface
The utility offers a tidy look, with all the functions and commands conveniently placed for quick access and it also features some decent graphics, with high quality images as thumbnails for the music tracks.
The navigation though the numerous songs listed in the various section of the application is smooth and without lags or other types of flaws.
Nonetheless, there are some flashing ad banners shown in the lower side of the screen in most areas of the app. Also, occasionally you will get some reminders that prompt you to rate and review Music & Audio, but these can be disabled with just two taps.
Find and listen to your music on the fly
This application offers a quick overview of the songs and other audio recordings that are currently trending on SoundCloud, so you can select and play any track immediately. There is also a well implemented search function that looks for people, songs, groups and playlists in one go.
The playback controls are at hand and while you have several songs in queue you have the possibility to shuffle the list or put the tracks on repeat.
Fast downloads and playlist creation
With Music & Audio you can save to the app's cache the music and then transfer the songs to your local library so you can play them when an Internet connection is not available.
Storing the tracks inside playlists is done in a pretty intuitive manner and you have the possibility to create online as well as offline lists. By signing in to your SoundCloud account you will be able to check out the dashboard, friends and followers lists, as well as the favorites, playlists and tracks.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The decent GUI of this application is best suited for practical use, but the graphics and the overall design are not too dull either. Only the adverts and prompts spoil some of the good feel of the app. |
Function10
Music & Audio has plenty of features to accommodate the needs of most users, so downloading, playing songs, creating playlists and viewing the content stored in the personal SoundClound account are possible. |
Security7
For some reason, this utility needs to look into the phone dialer and requires permission to access the phone and owner identities. |
Battery8
The power consumption is moderate for most of the time this app is running, so the battery usage is kept at average levels. |
Price9
A very good tool to have by any music aficionado, this application offers a lot of possibilities and the users only have to put up with the numerous ads. |
Compatibility8
Tailored to run well on handsets that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and above, Music & Audio needs a minimum screen resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. |
