Some Android users have been complaining that Samsung are limiting their music player to their own users, but there is nothing actually wrong with that practice. The company has every right to try drawing more users to their platform, and offering a unique service can definitely aid them in that effort.
In any case, there are reports that Samsung are working on bringing the app to even more devices than the currently supported ones, so owners of older Galaxy phones might not be left out after all. We’ll see how things move forward in the next few months.
Until then, those who are currently using the Samsung Music player and have issues with the app should definitely raise their voice and submit feedback, as now is the best time to have their opinion heard.
Samsung have been quite responsive to what their users are saying, even if they don’t directly answer to most of the requests brought up, so those with clever suggestions – or an eye for nasty issues – should submit their opinions. We wouldn’t be surprised if the app’s face changed a lot over the next few months as that feedback keeps coming in, and hopefully Samsung will be able to solidify their position on the market with a music player that works well and offers a convenient interface.
