This app does have a section for your own pre-loaded content, as does the Gallery app from HTC, but neither makes it easy to watch any movies you've got as standalone files. The reason seems to be simple: cloud content is presented as the main way of getting your video fix, with Google's Play TV and Movies the only nod to watching things on your new phone. I'm talking about the lack of a dedicated video player, a drum I've been banging for years with flagship HTC phones, yet nothing has been done to change this at all. Now, while I'm really into the audio output HTC is kicking through the One M8 (and that power extends to the sound from movies too) it still hasn't worked out how to make a coherent video experience. This means that the lockscreen and notification area will let you skip and pause tracks in precisely the same way no matter which method you're employing – and that makes the audio experience so much better. I very rarely use the latter features, and I doubt many people will ever want to watch music playing and sing along, but when you're using the HTC One M8 as a music player on the desk with the Boomsound speakers it's a nice addition.īut one of the best elements of the One M8, when it comes to playing music, is the way it seamlessly interacts with whichever source you fancy, be it the onboard MP3s or Spotify (and other services).
