Opera Max, the Android app that can help you reduce mobile data usage across various apps and services on your phone, has today announced a new feature sure to please music lovers everywhere. Streaming music is a big data user and now Opera Max can integrate with some of the leading providers to help you still get your tunes but use less data while you're filling your ears.
The services available to take advantage include YouTube Music, Pandora, Slacker, Gaana and Saavn. By using Opera Max with any of these services its said you'll save up to 50% of your data compared to using them without.
Opera Max can already offer data savings on video streaming and the technology behind this is similar. It uses optimizations powered by Rocket Optimizer, managing streaming audio traffic and can convert the streams to a more efficent, AAC+ codec from MP3 and MP4. The benefit to AAC+ being a quality sound delivered over a low bitrate connection.
Opera has done great work to date in the field of data compression, and we recently took a look at both Opera Max and Opera Mini for Android to experience first hand the data saving capabilities. If this sounds like something for you, grab the app from the Google Play Store at the link above.
