Summary
Moozone lets you upload MP3s to the internet and then stream them on your Android phone. Up to 4 GB of online storage is available for free. Aside from Moozone's main function, the app includes several additional interesting features. Find out what these are in our test.
Features & Use
Moozone includes a 2GB online storage that can be filled up with mp3s. You can do so directly from your phone or by accessing the Moozone website from your PC. If you use Dropbox, you can sync this service with Moozone to get an additional 2 GB of storage (depending on your Dropbox account). Then you can either stream these mp3s directly on your Android device or download them to your SD card. As far as organization is concerned, you can create playlists to help arrange your mp3s that are initially located in a long list. Creating playlists can be done from the phone or using the service's website depending on what's easier for you.
You can access your Moozone mp3s and playlists from any Android phone by simply signing in to your account. There are more services offered on the Moozone website. You can, for example, purchase songs and playlists, but these options are not a part of this test report.
Screen & Controls
In order to use Moozone, you need an account. If you don't have you, you can quickly make one directly from the Moozone start-up screen. Alternatively, you can create an account online right here.
Once you've logged in, you'll find yourself in your library.
Via the menu button you have the following options:
- Upload to Moozone
- Copy to Save Box
- Search
- Add to playlist
- Logout
- Quit
If you wish to upload mp3s directly from your phone (Upload to Moozone), the app scans through your SD card looking for any mp3 files. Obviously, the same can be done directly from your PC by using the Moozone web interface. After uploading them, your mp3s will show up in your library where you can play them.
Via Copy to Save Box you can download songs to your Android phone by marking them with a check mark.
To create playlist go to Add to Playlist. There you have to select Edit to create new playlists or add song to already existing ones.
Clicking on a song in your library starts up an automatic playback. This works well on both Wi-Fi and 3G networks, but obviously is too much for a GPRS connection to handle. During playback you can tell how much of the song is loaded by looking at a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, you can't fast forward a track even when it's completely loaded.
The main screen is divided into the following four tabs:
- Library
- Playlists
- Save Box
- Player
The player has only the most basic functions: play, pause and skip forward. Apparently, the player doesn't support cover art as of yet, so you are left staring at an empty icon in the middle of the player's screen.
The entire UI is very clear and easy to use, but doesn't look very nice on high resolution screens. Things don't look very neat, especially on the Milestone. Despite the cosmetic problems, Moozone works perfectly on all devices, including the Milestone.
Combining your Dropbox with Moozone also works perfectly. You will, however, first have to unlock this feature online.
Bottom Line:
Moozone definitely has a lot of good things to offer. It's great to have up to 4 GB of online storage and be able to stream songs directly on your phone. As far as the app's UI is concerned, Moozone still needs some fine tuning. Moozone is a useful music player in need of a little facelift.
Speed & Stability
Moozone runs smoothly and reliably without any crashed or delays.
Price/Performance Ratio
Moozone can be downloaded for free from the Android Market.
