Download Hypegram beta 1.0 Free

Download Hypegram beta 1.0 Free

Hypegram is a simple desktop application that allows you to stream and search for songs on the popular music streaming site, Hype Machine.

In this early beta version of Hypegram, you are given a very simple, well designed yet slightly spartan interface. You have the option to browse music by "Popular," "Latest," "Loved," "Subscribed," and "Twitter". You can also search for an artist or track name.

While the Hype Machine has limited streaming from their website, there is no limit using this application (at least for now). This is a great music streaming service and app for discovering new artists and remixes by artists. There are plenty of remixes and mash ups available.

Hypegram is still in very early beta so there are plenty of issues and missing features. While Hype Machine's site supports Twitter and Last.fm integration, Hypegram doesn't have either feature baked in yet. There's a Twitter tab in Hypegram but it's not clear who Twittered the songs. No Last.fm integration means no scrobbling to the popular song tracking service.

Hypegram also doesn't feature any type of normalization of songs so some songs play much louder than others. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if there were a volume slider in the app but there isn't. You'll have to adjust volume using the system's volume slider.

There are other little quirks with Hypegram like the fact that the "album art" is pulled from the specific blog post so some art is not relevant to the song at all.

Overall, Hypegram is a great, stable beta for music discovery. If you want to stream songs you know you want to listen to, there are services like Spotify, Grooveshark, Pandora, and Last.fm. Hypegram has a long way to go but they're off to an excellent start.

Pros
  • Simple, easy to use interface
  • Great for finding remixes and rarities
  • Good music discovery
  • Unlimited streaming (for now)
Cons
  • No volume slider/normalization
  • Lacks true Twitter and Last.fm integration
  • Random album art
