The iPad is the perfect devices for parties: just fill it up with some good music, some great DJ apps and you’ll see people gathering all around it trying to touch the screen, put on some tunes and tell you “dude, this thing is awesome”. It happened, and it happened before with the iPhone.The iPad is also a great single person media-consuming device though. I watch movies with it, I have podcasts synced with iTunes and I definitely spend too much time browsing the Youtube application. I also installed this neat Tune Frame app as well, and I think you ...

Happy weekend! Here's a girl from Korea, named applegirl002 over on YouTube, playing Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" with a quartet of iPhones as accompaniment. Sure, the song's not that great, but look at those iPhones go! She's using I am T-Pain for autotuning the singing, Beatmaker for laying out the beats, and ... she says "Analog" in the video. However, I think it's miniSynth that she's actually got running on the last iPhone. You might not be gaga over Gaga (I'm definitely not), but running a whole choir of iPhones like that is quite impressive. It's also worth noting that she ...

Getting Started After you’ve installed CoverScout for the first time, you ...

Cloud based computing is getting tons of hype these days, both positive and negative. There’s the convenience of having everything in the cloud, everywhere, any time, but there’s also the fear of data loss and unsecure data. One web-based service where both of these issues are on the low is Grooveshark, the free online music discovery and playback service. The main reason you don’t need to worry is simply because it’s not your data, it’s just music that happens to be sitting in the cloud, and secondly, it’s just music. Similarly to Spotify, Grooveshark is entirely web-based and and with ...

Feeling out your music can be more trouble than it’s worth. Getting in touch with your sensual, happy, or perhaps aggressive sides might lead to a quick trip to thesixtyone, but what if I told you there’s an easier way (with local music)? Moodagent by Syntonetic is a new favorite app of mine that accomplished just this. While I was initially turned off by the low ratings on the iTunes store, I’m gonna have to knock down these preposterous 3 to 3.5 star and knock it up to a 4.5. What makes this app such a winner for me? Read ...

So you’re a Twitter And a music addict? Ever wanted to know what your (“I’m a Mac”) Twitter buddies are listening to on iTunes? Always looking for musical inspiration to widen your musical horizon? Well, good news: here’s Twunes, my free Mac OS X application that tweets the current iTunes track’s title, artist & optional album that you’re listening to. A friend of mine works in an office where, occasionally, when a co-worker gets up from his desk and leaves iTunes open, someone will walk over to his desk and loudly announce, "So-and-so is listening to [insert embarrassing music selection ...
