Music Explorer

Music Explorer is an example application demonstrating the use of Nokia Music API together with standard Windows Phone 8 audio features to create an immersive music experience. It shows how to take advantage of Nokia Music API features such as searching for artists by name and requesting top artists and new releases, and it also shows how to launch Nokia Music application from within another application to play mix radio or show artist/product information.
