7digital, today announced a new version of its Android application, bringing 7digital’s download store to the Android platform.

7digital Music for Android allows users to access 7digital’s 14 million strong catalogue of high quality MP3 tracks and browse, preview, purchase and download music to their device, anytime, anywhere. The new version of the application acts as an all-in-one music player and download store, syncing new and previously purchased tracks from 7digital with a user’s Android device.

New features include:

• An integrated store allows users to easily purchase and download music to their Android device.
• Optimised mobile delivery – Tracks will download in compressed, lower quality format when using a celluar network. Full MP3 320kbps quality files will be downloaded when a WiFi connection is available.
• The player allows users to access and sync tracks stored both locally on their device and in 7digital’s cloud locker.
• Users can browse music by genre and new releases, and search for artist, track or album names. 7digital’s top track and album charts are also available.
• Playlists can be created and managed within the application.
• 30 second previews of all tracks are available before purchase

“With new cloud features, this update is a major step towards our vision of giving our customers access to their entire music collection on all of their devices.”
