I love music and have a varied taste in music. But I’m pretty useless at remembering what I like or I’m asking my husband, as it’s him I have to thank for our huge music collection as it’s his passion.
But where do you find new music…… Or find music that’s similar to what you already like?
Well two apps I adore to discover new music is:
1/ Aweditorium app
2/ Discovr Music app
Aweditorium app thesixtyone,Inc
Aweditorium is an iPad app that has a pictorial map of artists/artistes. It’s a very absorbing experience….. It’s beautifully laid out as lots of clipboard photos. Each photo when touched gives you a musical experience. With a picture of the band and artist at the forefront, titbits of information appears, cursors at the bottom of the photo gives you options to listen/view a video, links to YouTube, iTunes, the ability to rate and share…… Not fussed in what you hear then just brush your finger across the photo and the next photo comes front and centre.
There’s a cool map that will show you where you’ve travelled, if you’ve loved something or shared it…… The music is as varied as people’s tastes and the pictures/genres come in no particular order which is even better for stumbling upon something you may not normally have looked for….. That’s the joy of music
Discovr music app Jammbox
Discovr music app introduces you to music in a different but very clever way. It starts with a band you love. Type in the band and the app will automatically throw up several bands that are similar that might appeal. For every circle you click on, a fresh bunch of bands are there for your perusal. The circle and links get bigger and bigger that you forget you can dive into each circle which contains info about the band, so intrigued with the display before you……
Just double touch on the picture (band) and you enter the info part of the app. For each band there is a biography section, videos, reviews, the ability to buy and the ability to share….. Clever that 😀
Both apps are brilliant in their own way which is why I downloaded both. New bands or new to you, it’s the easiest and nicest way to find music.
Aweditorium is on the iPad
Discovr music is on the iPod touch, iPhone and iPad
