‘Most Wanted’ Music Apps (Round Four)

We really like music apps, but some of them don’t exist, which is annoying. That’s okay. Along with some of our readers, Evolver.fm has been not-so-quietly inventing our own music apps out of thin air (this being a particularly good one), then posting the ideas in polls so people can vote on which ones they’d…

Poll: Who Should Pay Tax on Digital Music and Apps?

On Monday, the U.S. Senate approved new taxes on digital and physical goods sold on the internet, including apps and digital music. This probably comes too late to save your local record dealer, but it probably wouldn’t have saved him or her anyway. Still, when more of the economy is online these days, a tax of…

The Problem With Apps Is Smartphones

We love our music apps, and the smartphones that made it commonplace to carry around advanced, diverse music functionality, rather than relying on a “dumb” iPod or waiting until you get back to your computer to try the cool stuff. However, phones are getting in the way of apps. Case in point: You’re listening to…

4 Android AirPlay Music Apps

We were surprised to find, back in November 2011, that Google Android devices can play music on Apple’s AirPlay devices. It’s like Coca-Cola offering a free glass to anyone who drinks Pepsi, and quite frankly, it confused us. Then we found a whole slew of great Android apps for playing music on AirPlay devices, including Apple…

Lost in Music? These 11 Apps Can Help You Find Your Way

Most of us probably remember having a song, album, or band change our lives. It’s a fairly common experience, even for those unfortunate beings who don’t live and breathe music. It’s a good thing to have happen to you (unless you become too obsessed). Still, anyone can get bored of the music they already know,…

7 New Apps for Audiobus iOS Music Ecosystem

Audiobus is interesting because it turns the iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini, or iPod Touch into a real recording studio — “real” in the sense that you can connect instruments, effects, and recording software. That’s whythe app ($10, iOS), which launched last week, is known as the “missing cable” between iOS music apps. Here’s what else…

Syd Lawrence’s Top Music Hacks

This is a guest post from Midemblog by Syd Lawrence, who has made so many music hacks and apps that he has his own tag here. So it’s been a busy few months, which means I am sorry; it’s been a while. It also means this is going to be one epic post, on all the best…

Audiobus, ‘Missing Cable’ Between iOS Apps, Launches December 10

We’re as guilty as anyone of hyping Audiobus, a nifty little iOS music ecosystem that lets participating app developers zap music between apps running on the same iOS device, and which Apple has approved. Based on our understanding, Audiobus will let one app identify the songs playing in another app, let you sing autotuned nonsense into…

The Most Wanted ‘Untapped’ Music Apps – Round Three

It’s that time again — and by “that time” we mean the somewhat haphazardly-chosen date upon which we reveal the results of our Untapped Apps poll. We (mostly) report on actual apps and analyze real trends here, but the Untapped Apps series lets us delve into the realm of fantasy by making up ideas (and…

Musicians Rejoice: Apple Approves Audiobus for Zapping Sound Between Apps

In the beginning, there were music apps, and it was good. However, each app existed in its own little silo. If you were an amateur or pro musician with apps for playing instruments, recording, adding effects, writing songs, remixing, or making loops, you had to output the audio all the way to a computer or…

Will Nokia’s New Windows Phones Cut the Mustard for Music Fans?

Smart phone buyers go where the apps are. App developers go where the users are. This chicken-and-egg cycle is the reason we’re never likely to have a huge variety of computer, smartphone, or any other operating systems for that matter. Nokia and Microsoft hope there’s room for one more dominant mobile operating system out there,…

How To Get the Best Deals on Apps

Recently, my editor downloaded a cycling app called Ride the City, which maps urban cycling routes for you based upon road safety. As an early adopter, he was able to get this (reportedly excellent) app for free. When a recent update featuring a slew of new capabilities bumped the price of Ride the City up…

Music Quiz SongPop Strikes Social-Gaming Gold

Whenever a music app cracks the top 10 in the (lowercase) app stores, we pay attention. While we look at music apps all day, these sudden rushes of popularity are a nice reminder that non-music-nerds get down with this stuff too. SongPop, a ridiculously engaging music quiz game for iOS, Android, and Facebook, is becoming…
