It seems as if it was yesterday when Supermusic and Free Music Downloader hit the Windows Phone Marketplace. We have now been told by the developer that a Mango update for Supermusic has been submitted to Microsoft for certification and should be available in the coming days.

The music download app allows you to download music files from a wide variety of free music sites. You can create playlists from the downloaded tunes and the Mango update adds background music play and downloads into the mix.

The list of apps being updated continues to grow and based on Joe Belifiore's earlier tweet, Fall can't get here quick enough. There is a free trial available for Supermusic and the full version will run you $1.29. You can download it here (opens Zune) at the Marketplace.

Free Music Downloader, the free ad-supported version of Supermusic, is expected to be updated to Mango sometime next week. You can find it here at the Marketplace.

Fast Code, the developers of SuperTube, has released Free Music Downloader over at the Windows Phone Marketplace. Free Music Downloader is a free, ad-supported version of SuperMusic that was released just a few days ago. I know... it's a little confusing.

Why the developer didn't go with "SuperMusic Free" or "SuperMusic Lite" for the free version is a bit of a mystery but variety is the spice of life. Both apps are basically the same. Free Music Downloader has the ad banners and SuperMusic allows you to sync your downloaded music files with your computer. Beyond that, the layout is identical.

Free Music Downloader and SuperMusic allows you to download free music, audiobooks and podcasts from various websites and organize them into playlists. You can customize the app with background images from your Pictures Hub and add your favorite download sites to the existing list of about forteen download sites.

To download a tune, simply tap on the website listing on the Favorites Page and a web browser will open up to that website. From there all you need to do is find the song, tap the download link on the webpage and the download begins.

The artists don't appear to be mainstream bands but the music selection is wide ranging and some of the tunes aren't too shabby. All in all, if your looking for a music download app either version is worth looking into.

Free Music Downloader is a free, ad supported app that you can download here (opens Zune) at the Marketplace. SuperMusic has a free trial version with the full version running $1.29 which you can find here at the Marketplace.
