Music HQ 2.2.0.319

A handy tool for your Windows Phone that you can use to find and listen to your favorite songs
As many people like to hear their favorite songs no matter the activity they are carrying out, they tend to take the music with them, either stored onto dedicated devices or by accessing their online playlists from the computer or the mobile device at hand.

Windows Phone users have a varied selection at hand, through the Store and among the numerous applications dedicated to finding and saving music tracks there is one called Music HQ that offers a simple and efficient approach to both tasks.

Friendly appearance and convenient layout

A pretty neatly designed interface allows you to browse the online database and find the music you want to get. Moving around songs, charts, playlists and collections is a breeze because there are no lags or glitches of some sort.

Well organized and with all the features at hand, this utility is also focused on practicality and ease of use, so the nice album covers and the neat way in which the content is displayed will make the experience worth while.

Search or discover fresh songs on the fly

This utility has a pretty good search function that seeks for music inside the online database to provide a decent assortment of songs.

There are plenty of artists and albums at your disposal, so the query should offer you pretty accurate results most of the time, even if on rare occasions, some songs or artists are not to be found.

The "Discover" section contains a fine selection of artists that are hot at the moment, so this will surely prove a good helper if you are interested in finding quickly the top choices of most users worldwide.

Play or save the tracks onto your mobile

For each artist you visit inside Music HQ, you can view the released albums and the songs on each of them, as well as a complete lineup of all the hits.

With a single tap on any of the tracks you will start the playback and the controls at your disposal consist of a play/pause button and two more for moving to the next or to the previous song.

Downloading the music files is a one tap job and inside the app's dedicated area you will be able to monitor the progress and as soon as the transfer is complete, the items will become available for offline playback from the "Music" section of the utility.
