Copyleft MP3 Downloader Review

Let’s be honest – music is in our DNA since the day humanity invented primitive instruments. It was and still is a way to boost morale, evoke feelings of cheer and happiness or even sadness and grief. Of course, instruments and the way music was produced and distributed has changed radically. While the smartphones seem to get bigger, but thinner, and storage devices like SD cards going down in size, but constantly growing in capacity. The amount of songs that can fit into one small device is almost breathtaking nowadays, with compression starting to be a less popular method, and people downloading songs in the highest quality possible.

While you might notice that the app in question is not actually on Google Play Store, it doesn’t mean it’s fraudulent or possesses less quality than others. Quite the contrary, to be honest with you, and our Copyleft MP3 Downloader review will prove that, hopefully. So what exactly makes it different, and should you choose to use it? It depends on you, but we’re here to present an in-depth look to save you the time of effort of downloading and trying it on your own.

Copyleft MP3 Downloader Interface

Right off the bat, you shouldn’t expect too much when it comes to an app like this being beautiful. It’s decent and gets the job done, but there will be no crazy design choices and colors, and it is reminiscent of apps you’d use for storage. However, it is very easy to navigate your way around and search for songs by using a search bar on the top. Also, you’ll see options like Search, Downloads, and Player, which replaces the need for an additional MP3 player application.

When it comes to the color choice, the whole app has a white/light-grey background, which can be straining on the eyes if you’ve decided to go for a late-night listen. The player has a dark-grey/black color choice, while the selections are light blue, which is pleasant on the eyes. We suggest adding a Dark/Night mode, and we’re sure that can be realized in the future. All in all, a simple-looking application where developers focused on adding functionality and as many features as possible for free.

Copyleft MP3 Downloader Features

While many applications made by “competition” developers only give you the basic set of features for free, like only being able to search for a song or an album, and having to pay for Premium to download them, that’s not the case here. We suspect that’s why it’s no available on Google Play Store and has to be downloaded as APK file.

Download and stream songs you like

Let’s get it out of the way right away – this app isn’t going to get you into trouble and is not meant as a way to pirate songs from your favorite artists. Copyleft MP3 Downloader lets you stream or download music that is available under Creative Commons License or their own Copyleft license. Streaming gives you an option to give a song a listen before deciding if you like it. And if you don’t – nothing was lost, neither time downloading or storage, just search for another!

As we’re on the topic of searching, it’s important to notice that even though the Search option seems very simple, surprisingly it’s very effective in finding songs that if you know the artist/band name, or at least a part of the song name. It’s true that sometimes while searching you can find copyrighted songs, but unless you download it, there won’t be any problems. Even if end up liking it and download it, consider supporting the artist by buying the song officially, and consider the one you got a sample or preview.

Play music offline via their player

Like we previously mentioned, the need for a player has been eradicated, and this app can do it all. Not only can you easily find all the files you downloaded by opening Downloads option at the top, but you can create playlists and play files via Player. of course, by tapping on the song a custom, small player with controls opens so you can see what it is if you don’t remember the name. Player has a full set of options to create playlists and song queue.

Other MP3 downloader applications like Google Play Music or Napster do have more features like access to more than 30 million songs, automatic playlist creation based on your listening habits and even voice search, they require you to pay for a monthly subscription to even access them. Sure, it would be better if you could listen to radio stations or podcasts, but you’d have to pay 10-15$ a month, and Copyleft MP3 Downloader provides enough, and completely for free. It’s intended for new smartphone users or elderly relatives that enjoy music but lost the race with technology.

Pros and Cons

Copyleft MP3 Downloader is a great application for music downloading needs. Here we listed some of the most interesting pros and cons of this app.

Pros

• Completely free
• Offers music player, so you don’t need an additional app
• Download songs under Creative Commons license
• Sometimes even copyrighted songs are available to download but intended as a preview – you should delete them after listening or pay the artist
• Easy to use, very simple interface
• Great for new smartphone users
• Ads aren’t intrusive – they’re located at the bottom and pretty small

Cons

• You can’t listen to the radio or podcasts
• No recommendation system to find more songs/artists
• The app is not on the Google Play Store, so you have to install it by using APK file
• Only supported on Android, no iOS application
• You can’t upload songs to your private account and can’t add/send links to friends
• One default theme

Verdict

Even though you can’t simply download the application, it’s not too hard either. APK files are just like EXE (executable) files for your Android device, and the installation starts right away. The app has a very simple design and the functionality is limited to only the basic functions. However, you won’t be forced to upgrade to Premium after a trial period ends like Napster, and features aren’t taken away because you’re using a free version. You can navigate your way around with ease, and it’s very user-friendly and lightweight. This makes it a perfect choice for older Android phones that aren’t strong enough to run music applications with higher requirements.
