After an earlier review by Symbian Freak covering the music playback capabilities of the N95 (with a proto-type), now Rafe Blanford gives an in-depth review over at AAS, handling the production model.
In this review, Rafe discusses the Hardware, the Music Player application, the Radio application, how to get Music on the N95, playback through other devices by UPnP & Bluetooth, TV-out, using Third-Party software and finally concluding… that the N95 is an impressive music device:
The N95 is an impressive music device. There are five ways to get stereo audio out of the N95 (stereo speakers, headset, Bluetooth, TV-Out, UPnP) and even these can be further broken down (e.g. FM Radio transmitter via the 3.5mm jack anyone? - hey, I’m reviewing one of these next week! - Ed). It is amazing to see this level of versatility in a single device considering that the N70 (the hot Nseries phone this time last year) only had one of these. PC connectivity is good although perhaps, overall, not as cohesive as the iTunes/iPod combination and the lack of an integrated music store is a current omission, though this is likely to change in the near future.
The quality of the sound produced by the N95 is excellent. The clarity and accuracy of the sound is now dictated more by quality of the headset and the encoding of the music file or stream rather than any hardware limitations. Audio buffs will notice the usual problems with digital music, but the average user will have no complaints.
