I brought it in to the gym I own today, and wow. People love the music selection, and no commercials is pretty nice.
Great App!
Great App!
My only gripe is that they don't seem to update the tunes often enough for me.
I'm a bit of a music subscription nut, and have Spotify in addition to Zune Pass, and have tried out Nokia music. Nokia music uses algorithms created by a company called the EchoNest (which are also used by Spotify, rdio, and Mog amongst others), and I find their playlist generation better than the Zune Pass "smart dj" mixes.Does anyone pay for Zune AND use the Nokia app? I usually just play smart DJ lists. Any advantage with Nokia music?
for me it seems to load a lot faster than last.fm. I do like last.fm but it can be so slow sometimes...So it's last fm?
Having said all that, it's *very* impressive for a free service, so I think it's a great option to have. I just couldn't ever give up the ability to play specific songs, albums, or playlists of my choice that a subscription music offers you. But even using these I'm finding Nokia Music a fun adjunct for discovering new music.
Nokia Music lets you create a custom radio station based on a particular artist, but what it will do is generate a playlist based on that artist. However, that playlist will be a random mix of that artist's songs as well as artists the service considers similar to him/her/them.So I can't search for artists and then choose to play their album or create my own playlists?
