Nokia has just released another promising PC application in their
Beta Labs section.Nokia Music lets you play and organise your music, discover and download new music, all seamlessly integrated with your PC and your Nokia device.
Give every day a soundtrack with Nokia Music. Move your favourite CDs to your Nokia device with one simple click. Create and share playlists with your friends and family. A complete music experience in one easy to use application.
Mark Wheatly tell us a little bit more about the application:
“While there is other music management software out there, we’ve made this application more focused on the needs of mobile users. That is why our first release concentrates on those features that will give real value to people who enjoy their music on the move.
We talked to many users during the product development phase and they told us they want to update the music on their mobile device more frequently than they do at the moment. Many of them find the process time consuming and difficult. We created Nokia Music with that in the forefront of our minds and made it possible to rip CDs directly to a connected device (just drag and drop the CD icon to your device – job done!) and move playlists you have created while out and about back to your PC collection.
The techies among us will be interested to know that Nokia Music is one of the first applications to take use Microsoft’s new
WPF technology which in the future will allow us to introduce some cool and innovative enhancements in the coming months.
It was also important to us when creating Nokia Music to take a standards based approach. What does that mean? Well, we have not created any proprietary connection protocols or metadata models. This means that Nokia Music should function with any MTP-compliant device, whether it be a Nokia device or another brand MP3 player.
