The preferences pane allows you to set your preferred audio quality based on whether or not you’re on a good network. Buffering is smart and playback is stutter free even on slower WiFi channels. You can share and buy songs through the menu as well. It’s easy to create a new radio station based on a songs name, album, or artist. Note that Pandora doesn’t actually let you listen to a specific song by a specific artist whenever you want – you can only listen to similar songs in an intelligently created radio stream. This is similar to what Last.FM offers. The Pandora app on the myTouch is a high-quality smart-radio application that brings your music tastes right to your smartphone.

 

The search feature gives you full access to the catalog. Note that this is not a streaming “radio” service like Pandora – you have full access to any song that’s available on the catalog, and you can skip as many times as you want. Streaming quality is top-notch, with no stuttering or lags on 3G or Wi-Fi. The interface is simple and intuitive, and the tabbed interface for the player does well to get out of the way once a song starts playing. As expected, Spotify does have a noticeable impact on battery-life, but this is true for these services on any smartphone. There’s currently no way to automatically generate a playlist for you based on a small sample of songs – a feature available in Pandora and Last.FM. Overall, this is a very polished and comprehensive music streaming application with offline syncing rounding off one of the more feature-rich and useful myTouch apps.

 

This myTouch app comes with optional hardware that interfaces with real instruments. This “SplashPod” and a very thin light panel that goes around a guitar fretboard will allow you pick up songs as the panel highlights chords and finger placements for you. While this is a relatively complicated app, it does come with good contextual help and tips. You can also just start using the app and learn as you go. Overall, this is a comprehensive music learning application that is professionally designed and lets you actually enjoy the otherwise difficult process of learning music.

 

The app can also pull lyrics up for you while the song is playing in the background. Diggin also features some innovative interface approaches – you can create your own icons for albums by literally sketching them out within the app. The interface is really responsive and you can interact with almost all aspects of the app – you can drag and drop songs into different albums, and swipe across the screen to smoothly scroll through tracks and albums. A very well-designed myTouch app.

 

The app streams music quite well, with almost no stuttering or lags on both forms of wireless connections. The buffering is intelligent and doesn’t make you wait too long. You can have the Last.FM app running in the background as you work with other apps on your myTouch. This myTouch app is available for free on the market now.

 

This myTouch app also works with the myTouch’s built-in GPS receiver to display all kinds of interesting tidbits. For instance, you can see what other locations around the world are listening to your current song at any moment. You can also see music tastes based on region which helps you discover new music and whole new genres. The app syncs seamlessly with iTunes and most other media players on both Windows and Mac machines. This music and media app is the best overall media player for the T-Mobile myTouch.

 

There is a wide choice of music you can select from, and the streaming quality is pretty good with no stuttering or delays. This myTouch app shows you your most recently played tracks, your saved tracks, and a search function all accessible from any point within the app. A very functional, easy-to-use app that plays nicely in the background as you go about working or playing on your T-Mobile myTouch 3G.
