Moozone for Android (v3.03)

Here is what comes with the new update:

  • Random play for selected items. While you’re in the “Library” tab, select a few tracks (or albums) and choose “Random Play” from the menu. The application will play tracks randomly from the list of the selected items.
  • Another way to play tracks randomly from an album (or an artist) is to use a long-click and choose “Random Play”.
  • If you think that the search toolbar is taking too much space, you will be able to hide it by choosing “Hide Search” from the menu while you’re in the “Library” tab.
  • Other visual improvements

Enjoy!

Hello Android Users! 

I hope you’ve all upgraded the latest version (3.00) by now. Besides performance and stability improvements we’ve done some work on the player controls.
First of all, the history button, that takes care of the cases when you need to play again a song you have recently played. By clicking on that button you will get a list of the last 10 played songs. However choosing a song from that list will not interrupt the current order of songs. In other words if you’re in the middle of playing a playlist and want to re-play some song you listened to 20 minutes ago (which might be in a different playlist), simply choose it and after the song is completed the player will continue playing whatever is left in the current playlist.
Another small, but cool feature is re-playing the song currently being played. Simply tap on the time elapsed and the song will get restarted.
Enjoy the new version and remember - there’s more to come.

Here comes the new uploader.

Good news for those you have large libraries of files. There’s no more browsing through hundreds of folders. Simply choose the root folder and all your mp3/ogg/m4a files will be selected automatically. Don’t worry about uploading duplicates. The system is smart enough to detect those.
The new uploader is a java applet. That means you won’t have to download and install anything.
Enjoy and let us know if you spot any problems.

Show/Concert Schedule In Your Area

Keep up to date on all events scheduled in your area based on the artists in your library. For that check your dashboard once in a while and see a list of all relevant shows or concerts for which tickets are still available.


Discovering New Music

Discovering mainstream music is relatively easy. There’s plenty of sources out there (billboard charts, reviews etc). When it comes to indie (or non-mainstream) stuff, finding a decent album is quite a challenge. Of course there’re lots of blogs that write about indie music, but your choices are limited.

Moozone offers an alternative way to discover non-mainstream artists. It works kind of similar to Pandora Radio, but its main focus is on indie. Follow the link below, type in your favorite artist and you will get a list of tracks, that might be similar in its sounding to the music of that artist. You will be able to play 30 second samples and see if you like it or not.

Genres/Tags

For those who would like to be able search and play music by genres (or tags) we provide this tutorial.

First of all, once you upload music to Moozone, a few things happen:

  • We read ID3 tags, pull out track genres. These genres get associated with the uploaded tracks.
  • We try to match your tracks against our catalog (we have over 7 million tracks with proper genres and tags).
So if your track has the proper track, album and artist titles, there’s a very good change it will have correct genres (or even sub-genres) associated with it. Worst case scenario, you can always enter genres (tags) manually on our web site.

So how can you use that information on both the web site and our Android App?

Well, type the following in your search field tags:rock. You will get a list of all tracks (or albums, depending on your current view) that have rock tag associated with them. Now hit random play (or simply a play button) and you will be able to play all these tracks.

Want to hear all metal and classical tracks at the same time?

Try searching for tags: classical, metal.

Let us know what you think and how it works out for you.

M4A is now supported

Mp3 might be the most popular format at the moment, but we’re well aware that there’re many users using other formats, like OGG and M4A. Just about a month ago we announced support for OGG format. Now it’s turn for M4A.
Upload away, dear Moozoners!
