pwilliams89 Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:26 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:26 PM I'm living and working in China now and recently got an Android phone. I sometimes download mp3's to my computer from Baidu, but they aren't always perfect, for example the song title might not show up. I know it is fairly easy to get free music in China but is there a great go-to app that I could use to download music onto my phone, for example when I use my phone's wifi, and then listen to it offline? Honestly I'd love an app/music player like Baidu on my phone where you can view the lyrics at the same time (so as to help me with my Chinese learning). I've heard QQ music is good, but can you use it offline? I can't understand all the info on the site. Let me know if you use Android in China and what music services you like, thanks.

gato Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:30 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:30 PM Have you tried kugou (酷狗)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwilliams89 Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:36 PM Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:36 PM No I've only messed with Baidu and that's on my computer. What's 酷狗? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:39 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:39 PM A music program, as you asked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwilliams89 Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:41 PM Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:41 PM Could you be a little more specific? Can you download songs? Does it display lyrics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:52 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:52 PM Sorry. I use an iPhone, so can't give you any more details. Just try it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwilliams89 Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:58 PM Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 12:58 PM Well I did say "Android App" in my topic haha. Could you at least tell me what it does on the iPhone? Now I'm curious. Do you download music, is it just a music player, can you view song lyrics? I don't want to just download it without knowing what it is.

roddy Posted March 8, 2013 at 02:07 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 02:07 PM Come on Gato, buy an Android phone and test it out for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwilliams89 Posted March 8, 2013 at 02:20 PM Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 02:20 PM If you recommend something, shouldn't you have a reason for it? I feel like this thread has gotten thrown off a bit, please reply if you currently are an Android user in China and know of some good apps that allow you to download mp3's while possibly playing music/displaying lyrics.

scoff Posted March 8, 2013 at 06:19 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 at 06:19 PM Take a look at the music app from 虾米/Xiami. Their iPhone app works well for playing music (downloading songs, displaying lyrics, listing popular songs, custom radio stations, etc.) and I have no reason to doubt the fidelity of the Android app. You can read some reviews of QQ Music here. AFAIK, the iPhone version can save songs for offline listening so the Android app probably has a similar feature. Let us know how it works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuawbb Posted March 9, 2013 at 05:03 AM Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 at 05:03 AM The best app in my opinion is 酷我音乐, available on both Android and iOS. Huge library of music from all over the world and all can be downloaded offline. Note that the iOS version allows downloads to the phone but does not give an option to transfer them to iOS's primary music app or your computer. Whilst the Android app is the same, since one can freely explore Android's file system I presume tracks can be easily retrieved. I recommend you also get the PC version - this allows downloads to your PC and if available for your track, allows 320kbps MP3 and lossless downloads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwilliams89 Posted March 9, 2013 at 05:53 AM Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 at 05:53 AM hey joshuawbb that sounds pretty cool. can 酷我音乐 display lyrics too? that would might make it the perfect app for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
