MP3Lio Music Download Free

Pros

• Download music
• Play and manage your collection

Cons

• Too simplistic at times

MP3Lio Music Download Free is a music downloader, player and manager all in one.

MP3Lio Music Download Free was designed with the goal of making it as simple and streamlined as possible to download, play and manage music on your Android device. It delivers on that goal, and whether that makes it a good app for you will depend on your usage and preferences. The program is free, so there’s little risk to trying it to see if you like it, but note that the app is ad-supported. In our experience, these ads are rather small and not at all obtrusive.

You don’t need to have any music on your device to get started with MP3Lio Music Download Free. As long as you have access to the Internet, it will connect you to a music database that you can search, peruse and download from. It presumably uses a peer-to-peer approach. The songs we selected downloaded reasonably fast but perhaps not as fast as many P2P music sharing apps can achieve.

MP3Lio Music Download Free is also a music player. It isn’t sophisticated and won’t blow you away with all of the cool features that it offers, but it delivers the basics quite well. The app makes it very easy to play the music you’ve downloaded through it, and if your connection is fast enough, you can have downloads queued and continue to add to the queue as it plays music. It can download at the same time and automatically play those songs as they become available.

The program also has a music collection management component, which is nice if you use your phone or tablet as the primary device for your music. There’s no file editing, but you can organize your music files into various folders and create playlists and whatnot. If you have music located elsewhere on your device, accessing it isn’t as simple as we’d like and does require some manual moves.

Where MP3Lio Music Download Free really shines is in how streamlined it is. Almost every user can download and play their first song within seconds. The app itself only takes up 2 MB at most, and it doesn’t require many resources when running. While it supports the latest Android versions, it initially released with 1.5 and still supports it. This makes it a great option if you have an older Android phone or tablet that just can’t run the newer and more ambitious music players and downloaders.

For many users, that simplicity may work against it. The music collection the app gives you access to is Asian-oriented and not nearly as extensive as you might expect. In addition, there are no advanced search tools, which makes finding what you want difficult at times. There are also no advanced browsing tools, which can make managing a large music collection difficult as well.
