Listen music using this Windows 8 music player app:
There’s no doubt that the app has a good design. All the albums are shown in big tile sizes, with the respective album cover (if available). The visual presentation of the album flow is the strongest point of this Windows 8 music player app. There’s a very smooth flow between the albums when you are browsing through the albums to find a particular song or artist. Simply use the mouse wheel, or click drag to left or right, in order to browse between albums. The app has very simple controls, and very few playback buttons. That includes the Play and Pause buttons.
Like I said above, this Windows 8 music player app automatically recognizes the songs, and groups them under their respective albums. All you have to do is copy paste the songs in the default Music folder in your Windows 8 PC, and right-click in the app. Doing this opens a flyout at the bottom of the screen, containing Current and Sync buttons. Simply click on the Sync button to update the app’s library. The Current button in this flyout is to go back to the currently playing song’s album. Currently the app supports files that are in mp3 and wav formats.
A good thing about the app is, it automatically plays the songs that are present in same album, hence releasing you from manually playing each song every time.

Final Note:
Album Flow, is a good to have Windows 8 music player app. It’s functional and easy, but does needs some more playback option, such as loop, volume etc. Also, integrating the app with Windows 8 share and search charm would have been nice. But just for listening purpose, the app works fine. It didn’t crash or froze. There are some good features in this Windows 8 music player app that make it a worth a try, for example the live tiles, desktop notifications, good syncing, and above all the way albums are presented.
