A true hidden gem regarding the 920 (or Nokia if its available on other models)

Nokia music. So many genre's, mixes, flavors and tastes and they all can be downloaded for offline play. I finally just out of random started messing with it, and wow! You can livetile them and update offline mixes for your convenience too.

I don't know how much of a hidden gem it is. Nokia talks about it quite a bit. Its all over their Facebook and their website. But I agree, its really good.

Other than the offline mixes, what really separates this from Pandora? I'm not impressed.

no ads.

yup nokia music, free and I can download the mix to listen off of wifi or network. AWESOME!

 

[JammyGitz]

I can't seem to download more than a few songs for offline play, it just greys out the link.

You are only allowed to download four mixes for offline playback and are limited to skipping tracks six times per hour. Each mix should contain aprox 50 tracks however so you will get a good amount of music.

respectfully, what,would it take to impress you?

Unless I was doing something wrong, I wasnt impressed with the selection. I chose a band of a type of music I liked, and they created a playlist. The first several songs and then some didnt even feature the artist I liked. Often it wasnt exactly the same type of music either. Similar genre, but not the same.

Pandora did this too when I used them a long time ago. But they atleast got the genre right, even if they didnt play a lot from the band I started with.

It may be behind Pandora, but it's free and offers offline music without ads. Can't beat that for the price of free.

Isn't Pandora coming to the Lumia 920 and for the first year be free?

 

[dogfish54]

I REALLY liked this and was impressed. I think I was mostly impressed because I expected nothing and got something good. I understand that Nokia hypes it, but a lot of companies hype their stuff, rarely are the 'no strings freebies' actually good.

 

[Luke Kailburn]

yup. free. offline mixes. I was sold on day 1 when I got the phone. sweeeeet

Nokia music is an awesome gem, the only reason I would consider it hidden it is only available on Lumia devices.

i agree, it's pretty cool.

i've only used it once so far and i think you can skip songs as much as you like as well. again, i didn't use it much but i skipped through like 5-8 songs without a problem.

with pandora, you're only able to skip through maximum of 4 songs i think.

 

[Parktreeone]

I over looked this, started using it today and you know what, its great!

 

[Shap2012]

Its a nice feature, started out really really liking it, but have found the mixes it auto-creates are not nearly as good as pandora creates. Pandora knows me, nokia music doesnt.. yet.

Unless I missed it you can’t like or unlike songs like you do in Pandora. How will it get to know my music preference over time? I get the impression that it simply gives you a set of predefined selections per genres.

That is what it does. No, it doesn't learn your taste like I wish. Maybe one day. Nice for free and really cant complain, but Im a much bigger fan of pandora at this point.
