Looks cool, but will never buy without at least a time limited trial.

Hey, Xbox Music development team, over here! Up there, that's it. That's what a music app should do.

Xbox team- We know, this is just a long term april fool joke, remember the day 8.1 was released?

When will that be? I really would like to try this.

 

[loribinca]

YES!! .. love it!! - The only problem I have (and it's not yours) is that I am loathe to fill up my storage space with mp3's so my phone's 'local' mp3 collection is always rather sparse.

A trial is now available for those of you who'd like to try the app (the trial is a full experience btw) but number of times you can use the app is limited

@loribinca: Glad you like it, I've plans to add support for Xbox Music Pass in the future so keep an eye out!

It works fine, I guess I don't see why something like this is necessary though. Good on you for the app though, looks like it's going to do well for you, congrats!

The app is beautiful, fast and navigation is conveniently crafted. Due to the navigation and design, it definitely has greater potential than OneMusic.

Areas for improvement:

1. "Go to now playing" option is a heavily used one - should be added into settings foreground as an icon
2. Annoying bug with music continues to play for a moment or two after plugging off the headphones - please fix
3. The only reason I still have to go to Xbox Music is deleting songs - please add this function and your consumers will have no reason to switch
3. Gapless playback may be your killer feature - please add
4. Songs search by letters show some layout-related stutter on the background, please fix
5. Swipe to change tracks is a convenient gesture - however, it is not supported by animation/UI/tutorials. Consumer education is everything
6. Fwd/Rev buttons have original design that, however, doesn't fit WP BVIs. Would be great if you simply change it to ones from WP BVI.
7. Some artist backgrounds are absent. For all such occasions please load start screen background/classy pic

Wish you all the best my friend and looking forward for app development :smile:

A couple quick notes to the person above me: Swipe to change tracks is an established gesture. The WP8 Music Hub and the Zune HD/WP7 Zune app both used that gesture. I like that Muzik Player keeps it that way. Also, please don't add a default background picture for artists that don't have them. In Metro, it's better to keep a solid black or grey color when you have no image to display.

I only have a few odd complaints about Muzik Player; it's otherwise a very solid music player.

1. You boast having unlimited tracks in the now playing list, but it only displays 10? It feels like a bizarre limitation.
2. I would personally prefer to have the artist and album lists separate. It's slower to browse the album list with the artist jumplist than it was with the usual letter jumplist. Maybe there could be an option to use separate lists?
3. Last.fm scrobbling would be a nice feature for a future release.

I'm supportive with swipe gesture, my comment suggested that this common gesture should be supported by UI and animations that is not there at the moment.

 

[Udara Alwis]

Look pretty cool will surely give it a try !

 

[Yalita]

Please do take advantage of the opportunity to add a song from the player to an existing playlist

 

[Lu520]

Playlists which are created in XBM are not showing. Albums list not showing Movie wise. No Repeat and no Artish Background. except these good player with simple UI

 

[Boris Alexandrov]

Artist images are silently downloaded from the web in the background. Works flawless on my Lumia 720.

 

[Boris Alexandrov]

The app has just been updated and got even better!

Thanks for listening to our feedback, keep it up!

Great app, but the smart shuffle does not seem to be functioning that well (The Killers followed by Wu-Tang back to Dire Straits). Any suggestions? The old Xbox Music Player had the SmartDJ that seemed to fit the bill, when it worked.
