Ares Music-Online MP3 Player lets you enjoy and manage your music collection on a mobile device.
Ares Music-Online MP3 Player is designed first and foremost as a music player for Android mobile devices. The program is freeware, so you can download it to your phone or tablet and use it as much as you like without cost or other obligations. The program is also a music manager, and this is perhaps where Ares Music-Online MP3 Player really shines and separates itself from the pack.
Many music players for mobile devices do not put great effort into the collection management side of things. There seems to have been this expectation that people manage their collections on their PCs and upload just what they need locally to their phone. The developer of Ares Music-Online MP3 Player was therefore ahead of the curve in recognizing that many people would manage their collections on their portable devices and stream that music to their computers and wherever as needed.
Ares Music-Online MP3 Player provides sophisticated organizational tools. Edit the metadata of each music file individually. You can also organize various folders to store your music, and there is excellent SD card support as well. The program also allows you to create and manage playlists. The search mechanism may be its most impressive feature of all. As phones and tablets ship with more and more storage space, portable digital music collections get larger and unwieldier, and this feature offers many criteria and filters to find the exact song, album or playlist needed in a flash.
Ares Music-Online MP3 Player has a lot of other greater features too. It has a sleep timer, for instance, which is a simple add but highly useful and often overlooked by other developers. If you’re someone who enjoys falling to sleep with music on, the timer ensures that the music will stop sometime after you fall asleep, and that will better let you recognize the music when it goes off again with your alarm.
Ares Music-Online MP3 Player has a built-in widget, which provides fast access to the media player when using other apps and the like. It also has built-in support for sending your music wirelessly to other devices. There is specific support for Winamp, but Ares supports just about any device that uses one of the common standards for music streaming. Additionally, while Ares isn’t a full-blown P2P music sharing program, it does make it easy to share songs or even an entire album with a friend.
The user interface is the one area where Ares could use some work. It’s decent on phones where the smaller screen real estate makes certain aesthetic and organizational sacrifices necessary. On tablets and even larger phones, these issues become more glaring but certainly aren’t a deal-breaker.
