As the saying goes, when it rains it pours. It seems that most large companies and developers chose the BUILD conference to unleash their apps to the Windows Store.
Call it coincidence or a sweet twist of fate, but this past week or so has seen several official apps make their debut, with names like Discovery Networks and more. Now you can add another big name to the list —
Songza has now officially arrived on the Windows Store.
Songza is a music streaming and recommendation service that launched in 2007. Its Music Concierge feature is what separates it from the countless other music services. It presents music playlists based on the time of the day, along with filters for different moods.
The official description is as short as it gets, however:
“Working? Relaxing? At the gym? Songza plays you the right music at the right time.”
Available for download with a freeware license, the
Songza app provides users with a simple way to listen to their favorite music right within the Metro UI.
The design of the app is on the elementary side of things — basic but very serviceable. Big bold icons guide users through making a selection. The app comes with complete Windows 8 integration, and users can easily save their favorite playlist and share them via Facebook, Twitter and, of course, email.
All versions of Windows are supported, but keep in mind that
Songza is only available for users based in the United States, for better or for worse. If you are in the US, then this app is a must download.
