Music+ (Idea Creator Corp) 3.0.0.0
Music+ is one such solution, especially designed for owners of Windows Phone handsets who use SoundCloud as their main source of music. Signing into your account will put at your fingertips the favorite tracks, the saved playlists and a lot more, all from a single place.
Decent GUI with a relatively good feel to it
The interface of this app looks friendly and has everything well organized inside, so you can choose one of the main sections from the home screen and go to your account, access the offline songs and local playlists.
The navigation is fluent for most of the time, but there are some glitches that appear when you access certain screens inside the Soundcloud area. To get rid of the flickering effect you will have to exit to the home screen and re-enter the dashboard, tracks or favorites menu.
In most areas of Music+ you will be accompanied by advertisement banners and oftentimes a prompt to rate the app will appear as well. The reminder can be discarded for good by checking a simple box.
Play songs directly or transfer them onto the phone
Among the advantages offered by this utility are the possibility to cache the music tracks locally, so as to be able to play them even when Internet connectivity is not available and also the feature that enables you to mark the songs from the current queue and add them to a playlist.
Downloading the selected items is a breeze and inside the "Offline Music" section you will see all of them and with one tap save the tracks on the phone in the dedicated system library.
Another set of welcomed additions to the feature set of Music+ are the controls that are meant to enhance the playback experience. More precisely, you will be able to set any song on repeat and even have them play in random order.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
Even if the information is presented in an organized fashion and all the commands are at hand, the looks of the GUI are not the strong point of this app. |
Function9
This versatile utility is well prepared for a variety of tasks and provides a wide array of useful features. |
Security7
Music+ requires, for some reason, access to areas which contain sensitive information like the phone and owner identity or the phone dialer. |
Battery6
The audio playback, song downloading and online searches take their toll on the power consumption, which means the battery usage is high. |
Price9
With the exception of the bothersome ads, everything else is to appreciated, as the feature pack comes completely free of cost. |
Compatibility8
Prepared for usage on Windows Phone 7.5 and higher handsets, this utility needs very little to run properly. |
