Amp Music Player (Free)
Version – 1.0
Review – “Music made easy on your iDevice!”
I have tried out a variety of different music players for the iPhone platform, and unfortunately almost all of them have the same shortcoming. They don’t integrate with the built in iPod app well. This means that when you exit these apps either your music stops playing, or you lose the list of songs that you had created to play within the app. With that said, Vicious Dericious has come up with an excellent app, in Amp Music Player, that not only avoids this problem, but also adds
some very cool functionality to your music!
When you open up Amp Music player for the first time you’ll start out on a screen where your music will be imported into the app. This allows you to see a variety of extra information about the songs and artists you love! The process is relatively quick, as I have about 8 Gigabytes of music and it took me under 5 minutes to finish.
Once your music is imported you’ll want to swipe left to continue on through the tutorial for the app. This will describe the basics of how everything
works, and what features are available. The tutorial is very thorough, but in all honesty most people should be able to skim through it and get right to the app.
The main screen for this app is the “Library” screen. From here you’ll see a list of options for accessing your music. You can browse it by artists, album, song name, genres, or even access your podcasts and audio books! At the very top of this list is an option that will view all of your playlists. This will show not only the lists that you create with this app, but also all of the lists that you have available in your iPod app!
Creating and editing new lists is extremely simple with this app. All you have to do is find the songs/albums/artists that you want to add to your list and touch the small “+” button to the left of them. You can edit/arrange the tracks you have selected at any time by touching the musical note in the bottom left corner of the screen. From this screen you can touch the “Edit” button in the upper left corner and rearrange and/or remove tracks with simple touch gestures. You can also save a list or start a new list as well!
Another great feature of this app is that when you go into several submenus it is easy to figure out how to get back to where you were. Either there will be “x’s” to touch and take you back or you will able to “swipe” the screen to the left. All the while your playback
controls will stay at the bottom of the screen all the time!
At the very top of the screen is a menu bar that is scrolled from left to right. The other menu’s available through this scroll bar are “Skins,” “Playing,” “Concerts,” and “Options.” There are four different skins to choose from, but in all honesty the default one is the one that I prefer myself! The “Playing” screen is particularly useful as you are listening to music. You’ll find all kinds of information on this page from track information, to all kinds of information on the band! You’ll find not only a wikipedia link, but also some youtube video links and links to share what you’re listening to via facebook, twitter, or email!
The Concerts screen is another
very cool feature of this app! This section will analyze the music in your library and select concerts in your area that you might be interested in! Not only will it give you basic information on what day/time the concerts are, but it will also give you a location on the map where the concert is and direct links to go buy tickets if they are available!
While it’s great that this app is free, the only thing I will say is that I would really appreciate it if the developer would consider releasing a paid app as well that omits the advertising. While the ads are not overly intrusive, they definitely get old after a while! With that said, the ability to quickly and easily create and edit playlists on my iPhone is priceless!
If you love music, but are tired of managing your playlists through iTunes this app is simply amazing! The interface is simple, and the way it keeps your playlist open and playing when you exit this app is something that I didn’t ever expect to see from a third party app for my iPhone! So what are you waiting for? Stop using that old out-dated iPod app and download the Amp Music Player for free in the App Store today!
