Last night, Vine announced that it's bringing greater music controls to its popular video-looping app on Android. While users have always had the ability to include audio of any kind in their Vines, this new update makes it far more precise. The biggest update is a feature called 'Snap to Beat' which enables users to more easily create a seamless loop, or perfect loop where you can't tell the beginning of the audio from the end.
To get Snap to Beat working for you, choose a song by tapping on the music note in the 'Details' screen. Snap to Beat automatically identifies how much of the song to use to make a seamless loop, then trims the video to fit that music clip. If you don't want it happening auto-magically, you can switch off Snap to Beat and edit the audio manually yourself. This gives the use complete control over how much sound to include in the Vine, and which part of the video it should play over.

As a part of Vine's new-found focus on music, there's also a new audio discovery tool within the app. First up is a new 'Featured Tracks' section which you can explore when you create a new Vine and tap on the music note to add a song. What's more, you can use Vine to detect what you're listening to while watching other Vines. If a musical note icon appears beneath a Vine, tap on it, and it'll show you the name of the track, and the name of the artist performing.
