Description
I’ve created a simple, yet powerful music jukebox app out of necessity. Everything I found available was either overly complex or missing basic functionality. Coming from a generation that has most, if not all, of its music ripped locally or on a share, I had no simple way to DJ my collection during events, i.e. parties. I also wanted to add the capability for my party participants to add to the festivities by allowing them to “pass” around my music app and help contribute to the music selection. That’s not mandatory, and of course that would be up to you.
So what this application does is allow you to select your music (from many sources), play your music, provides music transitions between songs (i.e. fade), create playlists, display song selection information, and have access to the song lyrics. The interface is simple. The options are few, but complete. And the result is a worry free music experience and pure listening enjoyment.
Now of course the real power comes from the tablet devices capability to utilize Bluetooth. Playing music from your tablet, and its speakers, only gets you so far. I created this application to take advantage of those common Bluetooth devices (called audio receivers ) that allow you to “bridge” your tablet to an audio source. In my case, I hooked it up to my old Onkyo receiver, thus allowing me to manage my music on the tablet and play it out of my home stereo. It doesn’t get any simpler.
These Bluetooth audio receivers can be purchased at retailers like Amazon, etc. I use a HomeSpot audio receiver, and have been very satisfied with its performance and ease of use. It has audio out that I then plug into my receiver. For less than $30, you can integrate your home stereo with your tablet.

The app’s supported music types; MP3, MP4, WAV, and WMA.
The Surface RT doesn’t allow the display your remaining battery life within the app, but during testing one hour of continuous play decreased a full battery to 85%. This of course would depend on what you have running, etc.
