Wanted - MP3/Music Store software for windows mobile

ramiss · #1 (**permalink**) 05-30-2009, 03:04 PM

After several days of searching I have been unable to find what should be a very popular item. A Windows Mobile based app that lets you download mp3s directly to your device from a major online music store.

Either I am just not typing in the right keywords or I have discovered a huge niche market.

I am willing to pay for music but I don't want to have to go home to my pc to purchase and then sync them.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

There's a site call mp3raid that you can do this from.

Maybe because it's already easy to do with a good Web browser? I'm using Opera on my Sprint Touch (Vogue) to download an Amazon MP3 purchase on my phone as I type this on desktop PC. In the time it took to type this, the tune D/L'd and is now playing--no problem. Album art shows too, even though I only wanted one track. I see no need for a dedicated app.

like other guy said why do you need an app to do when you can ?

It isn't easier to use a browser. Just the zooming in and out and panning to the login box is annoying enough. Having an app is like the difference between viewing your mail in Outlook vs webmail in Opera. It's like night and day.

I must admit I have not tried it. I am using a custom Rom and have lost the icon. i have searched for a CAB but every search I have found states that the Sprint Music store is really a link that opens in the browser.

If you can tell me where the cab is then I would love to try it.

The other thing I have heard about the sprint music store is that the mp3s are digitally licensed to your device. I am willing to pay extra for an unprotected mp3.

If you are on sprint there is the sprint music store. You can do exactly what you are asking to do. It will add your purchases to your phone bill.

Sorry for the confusion. I am looking for an application for windows mobile that will do this. These suggestions are good but they are browser based.

they knew what you meant.
But as far as I know there's no app that does this.

Unless you want to download them using torrents,
then you can use a torrent program.
But there's now specific app to download music through.

An app would be easier for MOST of the market. Like I can think of my wife as an example.... she's not going to go to amazon on her phone, login, and put in her info through opera. She would only do this if she had an app.

Depends on who you are and how much "work" you mind doing.
