biit has become the most powerful Spanish bet for the world of music applications. It allows us listen to music for free and legally with an Internet connection. In addition, it is capable of recognize our musical tastes Through the songs we listen to and those we select as favorites or dislikes. According to its motto, you can forget about making playlists with your favorite songs. biit does it for you. Now the app has been updated, with some tweaks to its offline options, and some other improvements. The proposal is aimed at offering frictionless personalized discovery, with fewer steps and greater user control.
Offline channels, freemium model and subscriptions
Let's be frank. The most notable change is found in the offline channels. biit allows you to create channels with your favorite artists. From one or more artists you can generate an entire channel with the recommendations that biit makes us. If we like this one, we can listen to it offline, without an Internet connection.
Before the update, we had the possibility to sync three channels for free, has now moved on to a single channel, something negative for all users, but necessary for the survival of the application. This change is accompanied by a freemium model Of course, having more channels to download offline will be a payment optionFour more offline channels will mean paying three euros a month. Alternatively, we can opt for a quarterly plan, which will cost us five euros, which is much more cost-effective. While it's true that we now have to pay for these new options, we also have to consider that we couldn't access five offline channels before; now, with the four additional channels, plus the first one that's free, we'll have a good repertoire for a reasonable price if we compare it with other musical alternatives.
As an added improvement, the Offline channels are updated automatically whenever the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network, eliminating the need to remember to manually sync and ensuring downloaded content stays fresh.
New app design
The application has been redesigned. Although the style and the same colors of the original are preserved, it has been simplified the interface, now consisting of two unique screens, making the app much easier to use. The "Now Playing" section, where we can see the channel currently playing, as well as the current song; and the "Change" section, where we can buscar nuevos canals. Reducing the number of windows and clear organization helps make the flow between discovering, evaluating, and playing more seamless.
In addition, this minimalist approach improves the accessibility and speed with which frequent actions are carried out: mark a topic, go to the next one or change the channel. Visual coherence has been taken care of, more natural gestures and readability, so that the user perceives less friction when interacting with the app.
Goodbye to advertising and improving mixes
The new version of biit gives the final farewell to advertising, which ceases to be one of the economic foundations of the application. The advertising platform did not provide the desired sustainability and a scheme was chosen in which the users assume the cost of advanced features, gaining in return a seamless experience.
However, they have focused on improving one of the real pillars of the application and that users like the most. biit, mixes on the playback channels. Not only can we create channels with a musical genre or an artist, but we can do it mixing several of them. They have improved this system to make it smarter and offer better results and more adapted to users. The algorithm learns from our ratings (likes/dislikes) and collective patterns to adjust the order and selection of topics using collaborative logic.
Performance, control and storage
Beyond the design, the update introduces technical improvements designed for everyday mobile use. The coexistence between music and calls, so that when receiving or making calls, playback is handled without errors. In addition, a function to close the application and all its processes, preventing it from remaining in the background when we want it to.
The has been strengthened multitask: It is possible to continue listening to music with the app in the background and control playback from the Notification bar, a convenient and quick access that speeds up pauses, advances or channel changes without having to open the app.
For offline channels, biit makes special use of the external storage cards (microSD) when available, managing only the channels that the user has downloaded at any given time and performing cache cleanup so as not to saturate the phone's resources. The themes are stored on the device in a encrypted, so they can only be played through the app.
In the audio section, the platform prioritizes the bandwidth efficiency with high compression codecs (e.g. AAC with rates that offer qualities similar to MP3 of 128 kb/s using less data). In addition, there are tools to convert between sound formats on Android that can help with compatibility processes. They also apply caching and preloading strategies so that playback is stable even with occasional variations in coverage.
Compatibility, synchronization and agreements
The app is adapted to different resolutions and touchscreen features, ensuring usability across multiple Android devices. Furthermore, it is possible synchronize user data on multiple mobile devices, so that our preferences and channels accompany us wherever we log in.
In its expansion, biit has taken advantage app stores and has closed agreements with manufacturers to boost temporary advantages. One example was the collaboration with Samsung, which offered five free offline channels to those who downloaded the app from their store during a promotional period, along with specific performance improvements across their catalog of devices.
Likewise, specialized media came to report at certain times incidents of access and temporary withdrawal in some stores, fueling doubts about continuity after monetization changes. Beyond these circumstances, the product's focus remains on offering musical discovery agile, ad-free, and with flexible offline options.
