Bonjour all,
Sorry for a rather vague vid. I want to bring you all the latest and greatest apps and capabilities to your iPhone 3g and iPod touch without ruffling feathers. So below is my full description of what these P2P apps mean to you!
If you have been looking for a free alternative to the mobile iTunes store, or just wanted an easy to use free music downloading application, look no further. From that crazy world of Cydia comes one of Apple iTunes worst nightmares, MewSeek, a P2P client and Pwn Player, a playback software for your iPhone.
For those of you who have no idea what Im talking about, lets do a quick review. P2P is short for Peer to Peer in regards to file sharing. Think Napster, think Lime Wire, think Lars from Metallica screaming into the cameras that illegal music downloaders are costing him money (feel free to chuckle a bit). Peer to Peer softwares share all of your mp3s (and other file types) with everyone else who are using the P2P program over the internet. And with thousands, sometimes even millions of users logged in, each with their own impressive mp3 collections, it can make for a pretty wide selection of free music.
MewSeek itself is anything but stable as crashes during song downloads are inevitable (though it does pause and pick up where it left off). Logging in was a breeze by simply setting my username and password, and before I knew it, I was searching for songs. Though, the search by keyword box is the only way to sift through the enormous music database, so cross your fingers for categories or even a song title/artist search option in future updates. Right along with it should be a working Downloads tab, as the present one says unavailable, check future updates.
Enter PwnPlayer. It states in the description on Cydia that it is still in Beta but I have yet to have problems with stability. Not only does it play my regular iTunes library like a champ, it loads the folder of all of my mp3s I have downloaded with MewSeek, so they are always readily available for play. It also adds a neat feature, a search box that will search your library by artist and song title. Pretty handy for the folks that have managed to take up a 16gb hard drive with music.
Only time and usage will tell, but I could see this being a music player replacement. It shares a lot of the same features and even looks like your default music player, but it lets you recognize music that wasnt synced through iTunes, and search your entire library by artist or song title. Sweet.
So when it comes to iPhone P2P software, it seems that MewSeek has come to the table with its poker face on. Its fast and easy to login, and downloading is a breeze. On my home wifi network, most songs took 10-20 seconds to download. This application from Errrick is definitely worth a try as an alternative to the mobile iTunes app, something I dont think I have ever opened. Id like to see downloaded music imported into my iTunes so I could keep everything synced with my PC, but it works great for when Im in the car and hear a song that I would want to jam out to later. I have to say though, Id like to see full album search options in the P2P future so I can quit scowering the torrent sites like a homeless puppy.
Hope you like this video, feel free to send me a PM or and comment with any questions and I will be sure to get back to you. Rate comment and subscribe guys, you all know the drill. Take care
