Did you ever get bored of listening to the same music again and again? What if we could share music with our friends, get suggestions among us to experience music socially?
One app called WeTunes, which seems to be a fresh take on two tired app categories, promises to give all these features! WeTunes is a music player for Android with fun rating, sharing and status options that turn listening to music into a truly social experience.
To start your socio-music adventure you’ll need to register your email address and name to generate a pin for your device. It is this pin that you have to share with your friends to socialize with them, definitely inspired by the Blackberry Messenger. Apart from giving you basic functionality of a music player, this app is smart enough to identify the song and automatically get the lyrics for you. And while you are listening to a track, you can rate it for your friends and share your thoughts in a wall-style stream, which is shared with your friends. A direct link with YouTube even allows you to listen to the song they are hearing! Other social features help flesh out this app, such as the suggest option (and suggestions board) where you can recommend tracks and receive recommendations, and rate songs too. A list f top songs is also displayed on the basis of the ratings users have given. The upside is that the top songs comes from the ratings of your friends, so the chances they suit your tastes better is higher.
However, it isn’t all fun to play with, after all. The interface is basic, and at times, features are hard to find. Another major drawback is that it doesn’t support playlists, or playing all songs on your device, which necessitates selecting track after track, quite cumbersome for heavy music listeners. number of features like, it still doesn’t support playlists and you will have to select a track every-time to play.
It could be a lot of fun, especially if you have friends who get the app and can enjoy the awesome social features with you. The concept is fresh and worth appreciation. However, integration onto an existing social network might have worked better, rather than the ambitious step of starting a dedicated network .The app is definitely worth a try, considering the fact it is free to use.
