Sony is rolling out updates for few of its media apps in order to provide a “more converged and full Sony entertainment experience.” The main idea was to integrate Sony’s cloud music, video and photo services into Album, Movies, and “WALKMAN” app. So here’s what’s changed:
WALKMAN
- Sony’s Music Unlimited integration – with universal search across local and cloud content.
- New social features that makes it easy to discover, play and share tunes on your social channels
- Gapless, smooth playback
Album
- PlayMemories Online integration – with the ability to upload to, access, and browse your PlayMemories library in the cloud
- Recall Playback – which intelligently displays and reminds you of memories, occasions and events
- Favorites – let’s you *star* your best snaps, for easy viewing later
Movies
- Seamless access to Sony’s Video Unlimited
- A revamped UI with a banner video function for trailers and recently played videos
The update will be available for select smartphones, including the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z and Xperia Z Ultra. If you own one of this devices, you’ll be prompted to update any day now. 😉
