AOL Music just launched its new music app for the iPhone called Play, which it describes as “Instagram for music.” It’s completely free and focuses on music sharing and discovery, allowing you to listen to and share music with your friends on Twitter and Facebook, stream selected albums, and access over 47,000 SHOUTcast radio stations.
Music brings out something special in all of us, it trigger long forgotten memories and creates new ones that will last a lifetime. Sharing those memories is something we all love to do, especially with friends, and over 400,000 users agree. PLAY by AOL is the premier musicc application of 2011 — it’s a free, fun and simple way to listen to, share and discover new music with friends.
You can set up Play to use both your Twitter and Facebook accounts to find and follow your friends, and share your musical experiences. When you post your favorite tracks, you can either choose to include its default album art, or you can accompany it with a photo of your choice.
Discover music posted by your friends and listen to previews of their favorite songs, which you can instantly buy from iTunes, or comment on and ‘like’. Tag your friends in comments by using their “@username” and they’ll get an alert to notify them.
With access to your music library, you can choose to use AOL Play as a replacement for your device’s built-in music app to make music sharing even easier.
