Music Downloader 2.0.0.9
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 Music Downloader.
Simple and unadorned interface
A friendly interface, with a simple look, well organized and with every function at hand pretty much sums up the appearance of this app.
Unfortunately, the first impression is not too good, as you will be greeted by a full screen advertisement and the only way to close it is by using the special button placed in menu at the bottom of the screen. Also, there are numerous other ads that appear all through the interface and some occasional prompts to leave your opinion on the app.
Go through the available songs of search specific tracks to download
In case you don't see a song you like in the suggestions screen, you can start a search or simply browse the genres listed inside Music Downloader. The search engine moves pretty quickly and displays the results momentarily, so you can view the tracks, people, groups and playlists that match the terms of your query.
When choosing to download a track it is important to remain inside that section until the file is completely transferred, otherwise you will lose the information. The downloaded items can be played on the spot or saved inside the media library of Windows Phone.
Be advised that the ringtone option uses an online service that is not related to the application itself, so you should use it carefully.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
The plain GUI of Music Downloader cannot the customized in any way and the only things that stand out are the disconcerting advertisements that come as flashing banners and also in full screen. |
Function7
With this app users will have the possibility to easily locate and save the songs they are after and even transfer the tracks in the phone's local storage. The list of genres could be improved as it still lacks many varieties of music. |
Security2
This application tends to peek everywhere on the system as it requires access to phone dialer, contacts, appointments, phone and owner identities and SD card storage, many of these being totally unrelated with the actual functionality of the utility. |
Battery6
The battery drains pretty fast while this app is running, which means that the power consumption is well above average the whole time. |
Price6
It may be a freebie that offers a quick way of getting the preferred songs fast, but there are just too many things working against it for Music Downloader to be a really valuable asset at this time. |
Compatibility9
Those willing to try this application for themselves will have to do it on a Windows Phone 7.5 and higher device, with a screen resolution of at least 480x800 pixels. |
It can bring you the music you want, but also some potential trouble
