ShareON Audio has the dual ability to function as a mobile media player for local files and Wi-Fi player for iTunes music stored on your PC.
ShareON Audio is a media player developed for Android devices and PCs that has the ability to play audio files stored on your phone’s SD card and hard disk space. But, this isn’t your ordinary music player. ShareON Audio uses Wi-Fi technology to stream music saved on your PC and iTunes account onto your mobile device without having to physically download them.
Upon first entering the app, you will be shown an infographic breaking down how to use each feature on the user interface. You can live stream music through either a Wi-Fi signal or by syncing your DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) device to the app. The media player can also organize your song library by albums, songs, artists and genres, search for local audio files via the app’s folder browser, set an internal alarm with a song as a custom alarm ringtone, load album art and song lyrics and playback controls including shuffle and repeat. If you run into any problems or issues while operating this app, open the Help tab to access an array of troubleshooting tips or the 1:1 Q&A tab to contact the Help team via email and explain your problem in detail. Both help tabs are located in the Settings menu.
ShareON Audio is an excellent concept of using a wireless, cloud-based means of accessing your music without having to copy everything over to your phone and filling up your memory unnecessarily in the process. Its unique blue graphical interface design adds some appeal that would make users want to use the media player as their phone’s default music player, similar to how many computer owners would more than likely choose iTunes as their main source for playing music and organizing their audio library.
One of the more impressive features are how this app is vastly compatible with a lot of modern technological devices today. Not only does ShareON Audio have the ability to connect with your DLNA mobile device and PC, it’s also compatible with, XBOX, Smart TVs and many DLNA supported TVs and speakers. The only problem I have with this app, when it comes to compatibility is that it is not Mac/iOS friendly. I hope that Spika will consider releasing a ShareON Audio program for Mac desktops and laptops.
Other than that, ShareON Audio is a great media player to use and easy and simple to use as well. The app is free to download for Android devices and the Windows desktop version is also free to download from the developer’s website.
