Muziic

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on December 22, 2009

Muziic claims to offer users an enormous library of free music and videos within one simple program. While this is partially true, the program is actually just a glorified YouTube player, though a very nice one.

The program's layout is incredibly easy to understand and navigate, with a professional design and intuitive command icons. When you first open Muziic, you encounter a fancy interface that works a lot like YouTube. You can search for music--or any topic, for that matter--and watch the rundown of results on a small screen. This, its most important element, was unfortunately its weakest and least original, although the audio and video quality was very good. We did, however, enjoy the streaming radio from around the world. The hundreds of stations boasted an incredible range of choices, everything from American rock to Indian Bollywood. All played clearly, with the crisp quality that sets Internet radio apart from its broadcast namesake. Muziic also provides a special feature for storing and cataloging your favorite videos, so you don't need to repeat searches. Though the product description is somewhat misleading, this is an excellent program for watching online videos and listening to radio.

Muziic is a free program. It installs desktop icons without permission. Though we initially thought it would be strictly a music player, this program was a fine way to view videos and listen to radio, and we recommend it.

      "Sounds Good"

      April 19, 2010  |   By rstampa

      Version: Muziic 2.0

      Pros

      Nice sound and I like the radio feature.

      Cons

      I've been trying for weeks to upload some music of mine to YouTube but as of yet I've had no luck. YouTube rejects the file type. I've read the direction on Muziic over and over but it doesn't seem to work at all.

      Summary

      It's mostly just like any other music player you can download for free. I still like "Real Player so far.

      "This gets an A+ from me."

      March 16, 2010  |   By dprod1

      Version: Muziic 2.0

      Pros

      Very easy learning curve. Plus there are alot of options to choose from. Love it.

      Cons

      It may only be that I didn't try it enough yet, but when I played a radio station all I would get were like, 10 seconds of a song, like just a little sampling of that station. I couln't figure out what to do. I missed a manual.

      Summary

      Overall, I love this program,it allows you to customize the look of the interface.
      Also, how you can bring up selections by Artist or name of a song.
      Missed a beginners tutorial, otherwise I loved it.

      "Muziic player is a worthy download."

      January 2, 2010  |   By rick hutchinson

      Version: Muziic 2.0

      Pros

      Good selection of internet radio stations but it's not the "hundreds" that are said to have. This was a main reason why I downloaded it.

      Cons

      Can't get that visual to stop.Had one issue where a video was playing and I switched over to a radio station and both were playing at the same time.I couldn't stop the video from running until I closed out the player .Won't hook up with SHOUTcast

      Summary

      Sounds really good with an added DFX Audio Enhancer (you have to get that separately).Good radio selections that rival those found on the Slacker Player. The Muziic player is much more desirable than Slacker and it's all free. Nice interface and navigation around the player. Needs to be able to hook up with SHOUTcast or add it's selections/play list into the player

      "Very great idea. Why only 4 stars?"

      November 18, 2009  |   By az_simmons

      Version: Muziic 2.0

      Pros

      So much better than playing videos in flash in a browser with limited options and getting a
      search that is compact. This type of idea is what is defines a great product.

      Cons

      If Youtube didn't have stupid restrictions on how a product uses there site, this product could even be better.It appears that Youtube may be thinking about taking legal matters against the kid that made this software.

      Summary

      Simple install, good experience
