MP3 Rocket is a Gnutella and BitTorrent-compatible P2P network that allows you to download, watch and listen to free music, film and video.
Similar to FrostWire
and LimeWire
MP3 Rocket is very similar to FrostWire and the
now-defunct LimeWire, so if you are familiar with them, using the app will be a
piece of cake. Even if you are not, it’s an easy-to-use application and
suitable for anyone who wants to start downloading movies, music and other
content – as long as there are no copyright issues, of course!
Managed Via Tabs
MP3 Rocket is based on tabs that allow you to quickly
access the search engine, lists of popular files and torrents, your library of
shared files and even online TV, radio, games and chat. The downloadable
content is all free, but the ones suggested by MP3 Rocket are often links to
pay-access web pages.
Poor quality audio and video player
MP3 Rocket can also be used as an audio and video
player, but judged on these features it’s not very interesting and offers
nothing that really make it stand out.
Conclusion
Ultimately MP3 Rocket is a solid app, although we’ve
heard complaints in recent times that it’s no longer as reliable as it once
was. Also bear in mind that as MP3 Rocket is Java based, it’s not suitable for
older PCs. Overall, MP3 Rocket is a solid, if not awe-inspiring, P2P network
client.
