Nokia today relaunched its Nokia Music app for Windows Phone as Nokia MixRadio. You can download the new app now directly from the Windows Phone Store.

Yet there’s more than just a new name here. The updated app does seem to focus on mixes with this release, adding a Play Me feature that offers you a “personalized mix” based on your “unique music profile.”

Thankfully, this doesn’t depend solely on an algorithm. Thumps up and down buttons have been added to let you refine your music profile by voting on songs you like and don’t like.

Last but not least, you can now share mixes with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, as well as via email and SMS. In other words, Nokia wants MixRadio to be the mixtape of the 21st century.

Here’s the full changelog:

• Play Me is a personalized mix inspired by your unique music profile.


• Thumbs up / Thumbs down to help refine your music profile.


• Share mixes with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or by email and SMS.


• New name and a new look to make it even easier to use.


• Bug fixes.

While this is a great update, it might confuse some users. As my colleague Ben Woods pointed out, Mix Radio used to be a feature within Nokia Music. Some might therefore not realize MixRadio is the successor that replaces Music, but Nokia is apparently okay with that.
