MyStrands Social Player Pic Music playing on my mobile device is usually one of my top priorities, because i'm always on the move I find having a competent and well organized music player to be one of my devices top priorities, that's why I was pleasantly suprised when I downloaded the award winning MyStrands Social Player. A music player that does more than just play music, it acts as a type os social music networking tool.

After installing MyStrands I instantanously noticed the units capabilities. My favorite aspect is the units ability to connect to other users, share music, and in essence create a full social music network.

The application was easy to install and featured full access to Last.Fm which I used for scrobbling. If you are unfamiliar with Scrobbling it basically means when you list to a song its sent to the network, its a way of seeing what people are listening to and sharing your interest in music, a very cool function if you like to introduce people to new songs or tout your favorite artists.

The program also made recommendations based on the songs I was listening to, I'll admit I didn't always want recommendations, but I couldn't figure out a simple way to turn off the feature. One positive of recommendations is that the program features over 6 million songs with free previews of the music. Since the network is full of music enthusiasts the music tends to vary from main stream pop to underground indie, a very nice aspect once again, especially for finding new music on the move.

Finally I loved the "Who's Listening" feature, which can notify you of people who are listening to the same songs you are, you can even send messages and view the currently listened to songs of those users.
