Snap Play is now available for Windows Phone 8. The move rounds out Snap Play's cross-platform appeal, ensuring that a wide-range of consumers can listen to the music saved on all their devices, from anywhere. Snap Play is also available on iOS, Android, and any internet-enabled device via the Snap Play Web portal.
Snap Play streams a user's synced music from the cloud to any device, at any time. The application organizes music by song, album, genre, playlists and favorites, and users can create new playlists right from their mobile device and stream them from anywhere. A distinguishing feature of Snap Play is that users can stream their iTunes library from any device. For example, a user can have a Mac computer at home and take a Windows phone on the go, and still be able to play and listen to their iTunes music.
"A great benefit of Snap Play is that consumers no longer have to worry about music files taking up a lot of storage space on their device," said Michael Subhan, VP of Marketing for SnapOne, Inc., producer of Snap Play. "By streaming music from the cloud instead of keeping songs on your mobile device, you can purchase a cheaper smartphone with less storage capacity."
Snap Play is downloaded as part of the Snap One suite of apps that includes Snap Secure, Snap Sync and Snap Play, and allows individuals and families to easily secure, sync, back up, stream and share their digital lives through a secure, centralized cloud. Snap One subscribers can add up to six users, 1 TB of cloud storage and unlimited devices to one account. To stream music, subscribers must first sync the music on their devices with Snap Sync, which is included in the suite.
"Including Snap Play as part of our flagship service, Snap One, offers individuals and families an even more comprehensive security and content management service," said Subhan. "Being able to stream music from any device means instant access to entertainment and the freedom to enjoy music whenever the opportunity arises."
