Wow… looks like im gettin on board with WP8 very soon… this was probably the one app that I was massively annoyed wasn’t there
Ah, still missing last.fm sync.
Bummer.
Hurrrray
I saw someone retweet me (cos our blogposts get autotweeted) and was confused. Then elated :p I zoned out whilst walking home with friends, too busy downloading it.
Checks out fine on Lumia 920, i just tested it.
It’s alot faster than the app for WP 7.8
Glad to see an app that is so popular with so many ppl across platforms is finally on our beloved WP8 devices. It looks fitting, too.
Out of curiosity, what features is Nokia Music + missing versus Spotify, other than ads and the fact that Nokia Music + is only on Nokia’s?
I am not particularly partial to Pandora or Spotify on my PC, I find its insistence and bandwidth hogging particularly annoying
Great news. Platform now just needs Instagram (which l don’t use) to silence the critics.
Have been trialing Xbox music unlimited streaming service, like it a lot (especially good if you also have PCs, Xbox etc). At this stage won’t need Spotify, but great option to have.
Instagram is really nice.
Symbian didn’t have that and some old school Nokia fans didn’t even think that was a problem. Now how ignorant is that?
It’s great to see that WP is starting to get some real application support.
Well, it seems there is no marketplace at the moment: Error 805a0193.
