Musi: listen to your favorite music online legally and for free

In recent years become very popular music applications and online services for streaming: Spotify, Rdio, Google Music, Yandex. Music, the same native iTunes Radio. But they all have their drawbacks and limitations - subscription access, binding to the country, etc. Residents of the CIS longer close VK.com, with its endless rubble of music to suit all tastes, many listen to your favorite songs directly from the iOS-application or browser. The Western VKontakte users is not so popular, they prefer Facebook, as it is known to all strictly piracy. But this freebie is even more desirable, just developers have managed to maintain all of this economy in the framework of the law.

The result of these compromises was iOS-app Musi, which provides access to a huge library of music legally and for free. How? Who will tell!

To please the users and provide them with new products and a variety of musical content, developers use the well-known and favorite Youtube. Thanks to the "fashion" for putting some individual tracks and even albums on Youtube, you can not only watch video with seals, but also to listen to virtually any music, and completely free.

To use the Musi to register, by means of which the social component implemented (but more on that later). Immediately after the entrance in front of us the main screen, which displays all of your tracks. Here is located the search field with which we are looking for, listened to and add music. From the available information, there is a standard Youtube-summary: title, duration, quality, views. Load more results, you can press Load More ResultsAnd add the desired track in your library by clicking Add.

After adding music to your library, you can start listening through the built-in player. It has the same appearance and operation as standard and iOS, with the only difference that Share button is present here. With it you can share your favorite tracks with your friends via the app itself (Musi must be installed in your friend), iMessage, Facebook or Twitter. The application works with contacts and once installed will check your phone book to find out whether someone is using one of your friends Musi.

When you've typed enough of music, you can create playlists by grouping tracks by mood, situation or any other convenient for you criteria. Create a new playlist IIL can view the existing pressing Playlists Musi on the main screen.

The rest Musi functionality is available through a drop down menu that opens by clicking on the application logo. It's all very simple. Home - this is our main screen, Friends - adding friends, Inbox - history sheringa, More - application settings. In the settings you can change the stream quality, save (only the names and naturally structure) backup of your library in iCloud, review account settings, etc.

After all the necessary manipulations and initial setting, which is to add the tracks and creating playlists - you can enjoy your favorite music in any place where there is Internet. Everything works fine, the interface is pleasant enough, the player is the same as on iOS - all familiar and comfortable.

About the sound. Yes, of course demanding audiophiles should not even try, and Musi - in "standard" as the sound is satisfactory, in HQ has less, but far from ideal. However, for fast listening "on the go" and for regular users is quite normal.

As a result, I can say that the application is not bad, but only if you first do not be lazy and add your music. The only drawback - in Musi will play only those tracks that you add, ie any "recommendations" and "similar" tracks. This negative is both a plus when you want to listen to any specific actor or group (I like that happens a lot). iTunes Radio in this case, the first song will lose the specified artist, and then you hear it in at best 10-15 songs (sometimes it's just annoying).

If once zamorochitsya and add all your favorite albums and playlists - you can get a good "cloud" player. And if we plant a couple of friends (who have the same taste as you have) on the Musi, it will be all super.
