Tune Finder 2 Keeps You up to Date with Your Favorite Artists

Tune Finder 2 Keeps You up to Date with Your Favorite Artists

Keeping up to date with your artists in your iTunes library is a hard task. If you have a large music library, like myself, finding out when the next album by your favorite band comes out is sometimes impossible. Knowing what albums you’re missing from your collection can also be a difficult task. Searching on Google or on the iTunes store does work however, if you have 500 artists or so, it’s going to take way too much time. I only have time to search up my favorite bands like The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. I mean… *Coughs.* Anyways, I have a possible solution for you which comes in the form of an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Ocarina for iPhone – Video Review

Ocarina for iPhone – Video Review

Ocarina is an instrument for the iPhone based of the original ocarina: a small flute like instrument with an opening to blow through and four holes which can be covered to produce different notes. Ocarina was one of the first popular iPhone applications, praised by many like David Pogue and included on Apple’s All-Time Top Apps. I’m sure many of you have heard of it before and like me, have owned it for a long time, however, the apple iDevice nation is always growing and quality apps like this drop off the charts only being enjoyed by original users. Ocarina is currently $0.99 in the App Store and is meant for the iPhone. Video review after the break!

doubleTwist is iTunes for Android

The battle between Android and iPhone is continuing to heat up. With the new Evo4G on the market and the iPhone HD to be announced within days, both platforms will be able to offer consumers true “superphones”. The debate about usability and which OS is more user friendly has no clear winner. With Froyo’s speed and enhancements, Google is sure giving Apple a run for its money.

Be The Life Of The Party With Djay Remote

Be The Life Of The Party With Djay Remote

In the middle of DJ’ing a house party you’re called away from your desktop forgetting to cue up some tracks. To your amazement, iTunes cues up your live version of “Like a Virgin” after a kicking Beastie Boys track — your guests recoil in horror.

This tragedy could have been avoided with an app like Djay Remote.

B-Boy Beats: Launching on iPhone Feb 14th

Since the App Store’s launch back in July 2008 we’ve seen an absolute explosion in both novelty and full-featured music based apps. From the very company who started it all off, MooCowMusic, showcasing their versatile suite of instrumental based apps, to game-changing studios like Amidio Inc with their digital contribution to the mobile DJ’ing experience, TouchDJ (which kinda doubles as a mobile Garangeband), and of course new players to the game, like RockStar Games and their celeb-endorsed Timaland title, Beaterator.

Tunewiki for Android: Why Didn’t Google Think of That?

Tunewiki for Android: Why Didn’t Google Think of That?

There are some mobile apps that have become a leading name on one mobile platform, and then there are apps that have become leading names on multiple platforms. A few apps that come to mind that are relatively successful on various platforms include Fring, Waze, IM+, and Tunewiki. All of these apps have one thing in common, they all include a social aspect to them. Tunewiki was one of the first apps on the iPhone platform, in fact it was available even before the App Store existed. It became a huge success on the iPhone in no time, and it has now become the most dominant music player on the Android platform as well.

Weet Woo for iPhone Will Change the Way Kids Use the iPhone

Just yesterday my boss’s son joined us at the office after staying home from school. It wasn’t long before he was playing on my iPod Touch, which lasted a good solid few hours. Now, we are talking about an 8 year old kid here, and I could not help but think that the fact that he could pick up the device, find what to play with, and stay entertained for hours, is a clear indication of how good the Apple device really is.

Shazam for iPhone: Simple and Clever

Shazam for iPhone: Simple and Clever

One of the main reasons I got an iPhone was because of the music player that it uses. I love music, and can never get enough of it. When I am not listening to music on my iPhone, I usually listen to the radio. Now, if you’re anything like me, you probably never pay attention to the DJ when he announces the track. That is a problem when a song comes on and you would love to know the title. But fear not my friends as there is an app for that, and that app is Shazam!

Name My Tune! for iPhone Will Keep you Nice and Occupied

Name My Tune! for iPhone Will Keep you Nice and Occupied

With the 100,000 apps in the App Store, there is pretty much an app for anything, in fact, some even have two of the same exact app. That seems to be the case with Name My Tune and Name My Tunes (can’t make this stuff up). I did not try out the competition, but Name My Tune is a fun and simple app. If you cannot figure it out from the name, the app plays you a song from your library, gives you the option to guess the song, and grades you according to your success.

Beck’s Gig Finder for iPhone Keeps You Updated and Partying

I still get a kick out of it every time I hear about a big company that has absolutely nothing to do with the mobile space releasing an iPhone app. There is of course Starbucks, Pepsi’s attempt, and now the beverage company that makes Beck’s beer. The name of the app is Gig Finder and it is the most feature packed iPhone app to find concerts and other music events available in the App Store for free.
