WaveStation is a music platform focused around newer musicians sharing their work.
To be an aspiring musician is a very difficult thing. There are so many record labels and mainstream artists out there that it might seem like you’ll never be able to break through.
Even platforms dedicated to giving attention o the smaller music makers of the world, like SoundCloud, are already deluged with artists both big and small.
In 2018, the music scene is both extremely accessible, yet infinitely difficult to become noticed in.
WaveStation seeks to save the newest generation of musicians from obscurity, by providing them with a new platform to share their music and build a following.
In WaveStation, artists can create their music and build a following through social media, thanks to the ability to effortlessly upload music and display it to the world.
In WaveStation, artists can create their music and build a following through social media, thanks to the ability to effortlessly upload music and display it to the world.
Music is classified both by its specific genre, as well as its locality to the user. This means that, for a new user on WaveStation looking to find new and interesting artists, it will not only display new music based on their interests, but also on their location.
This location based system means you can become apart of your local music scene in an almost dating app-like system – musical artists can gain local followers, and local music lovers can gain new musical favorites.
The app’s ascetic is intricately fitting; it is simple and white, with clear accessibility and separation between music tracks. It feels very much like you’re browsing through a library on Spotify or any other musical library.
Only, instead of looking through a variety of songs you already know, WaveStation lets you come into contact with a plethora of new and undiscovered artists.
One very interesting feature of WaveStation is the ability to locate nearby listening parties. It provides you with the location and date and time using seemingly user generated information. This allows you to find the hottest music events near you on the day, letting you stay on the pulse of the local music scene.
Unfortunately, due to the nascent potential of WaveStation, it is still rather unpopulated by artists and users. However, even Spotify started with only the developer’s friends, so all that WaveStation needs to really excel is a growing userbase.
If you’re a struggling musician who desperately wants to have their music seen and heard, or you’re just a person who appreciates new music, WaveStation offers the opportunity for you to bridge the void and share in the musical experience.
WaveStation offers the opportunity for you to bridge the void and share in the musical experience.
Though it still needs more people to truly show off its potential, WaveStation is a satisfying, visually pleasing and easy to use music sharing app that will, hopefully, be going places.
Here’s wishing the best of luck to the growth of both WaveStation and its musical artists.
Our Rating
Pros
Cons
Excellent visual appeal and ease of use – it feels like a very professionally made app. The ability to search for local musicians and local events makes this extremely user friendly.
It still needs more users to make the experience complete.
Between Apple Music and Spotify we all have our basic music needs covered but for true music lovers these apps aren’t enough, they’re not always the easiest to use and they definitely don’t have every song ever sung. But don’t worry because there are a whole host of different apps to satisfy your music needs.
Although religion is a touchy subject that has loads of potential to unleash an ugly war of words, it is perhaps not sacrilegious to say that for most people, as the one and only Jimi Hendrix once wittily declared, music is a religion. Looking at music from a spiritual standpoint, it often feels like that music is something divine that was bestowed upon us by some higher power and that once-in-a-lifetime performers – geniuses bursting with so much talent that you’d probably shed a tear even if they sang the instruction manual of a tractor – have access to have access to intangible dimensions where beautiful melodies and song lyrics abound.
The power of music is conspicuous: it can help you through the toughest times in your life from heartbreaks to the loss of loved ones, it brings people together, it helps you forget about your everyday problems, it gives you motivation and perseverance, and it serves as a common language for people all around the world. Since existing without music is impossible, we’d be willing to bet the price of the piano on which John Lennon wrote “Imagine” that you’re listening to your favorite artists on your iPhone almost all the time. To ensure that you can make the most out of your music-listening experience, we’ve collected the best iPhone music apps of all time. Press play!

Spotify Music
Spotify Music is a music app that has been providing on-demand listening for so many years that it makes us feel older than the age of all Rolling Stones members combined, so first and foremost, shame on you Spotify! To get this introduction back on track, let’s take a closer look at what Spotify brings to the table – or perhaps we should rather address the elephant in the room: on-demand listening on Spotify is not free, as it requires a Spotify Premium subscription. With Spotify’s free version, you can browse and listen to playlists, share your own playlists, and enjoy songs from any artist, album or playlist – here comes the trick! – in shuffle mode. Regarding Spotify Premium, it gets you better sound quality, offline and on-demand listening, and kills ads like video killed the radio star in 1979.
For anyone who prides themselves on their music knowledge and staying one step ahead of the charts Sound Cloud is a must have app. Sound Cloud is the world’s fastest growing streaming service and while Apple Music and Spotify make it extremely hard for up and coming stars Sound Cloud actually promotes their services for newbies and helps to promote their work. As a result of Sound Cloud’s approach to music streaming it has become the number one place to discover the next big star. With Sound Cloud you can build your own playlists, discover new stars and even save your favorite tunes for offline listening.
Don’t let your judgement be clouded by the ever-growing number of negative reviews, SoundCloud is very much worth a try if you’re a true music fanatic. Proving that things – both good and bad – come in threes, in SoundCloud, you can choose from three packages. The first, wholly free-of-charge package gives you access to more than 120 million tracks courtesy of all sorts of performers from up-and-coming singer-songwriters perfecting their craft at small venues to world-famous superstars selling out large arenas. You can expand your musical horizons thanks to SoundCloud’s suggested tracks which are based on the songs you’ve previously liked or listened to and also thanks to SoundCloud’s charts covering a wide range of genres from 60s soul to contemporary hip-hop.
To top it off, SoundCloud allows you to connect with your favorite artists, as well as your friends, and you can create playlists for different moods and occasions. The second option, SoundCloud Go – clocking in at a monthly fee of $5.99 – nets you ad-free and offline listening, but the best thing about is that a percentage of your monthly fee goes directly to the artists featured on SoundCloud. The third option is SoundCloud Go+, which, after a free 30-day trial period, costs $12.99 per month. SoundCloud Go+ comes equipped with an expanded music catalog made up of more than 150 million songs you can stream or save for offline listening. There are, of course, no ads, and just like in the case of SoundCloud Go, a part of your monthly subscription fee goes directly to artists.
For someone whose religion is music, attending the concerts of their favorite bands and performers is nothing short of a spiritual experience they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. With Bandsintown Concerts, the best concert discovery app known to mankind, you can track your favorite artists and get notifications when they’re about to hit a festival or concert venue near you, you can RSVP to shows and share concert details with your friends on a variety of social media platforms, and you can, of course, purchase tickets from hundreds of ticket sits or directly in the app. Bandintown packs concerts listings for every single city in the world, and contains tour info for all your favorite artists from Bruce Springsteen to Kendrick Lamar.
Even if you’re a living music encyclopedia with a vinyl collection that would leave High Fidelity’s Rob Gordon impressed, there will come a time when you’ll hear a song you won’t be able to identify- for instance a track played during the ending credits of an Albanian arthouse film. But worry none, my wayward son, as Shazam provides a perfect solution for such unfortunate occurrences. Just launch the app, wait 30 seconds for Shazam to work its magic, and your thirst for information on the song you’ve never heard before will be thoroughly quenched.
Shazam delivers a YouTube video of the song in question, offers you the chance to preview the track on Apple Music and to purchase it in the iTunes Store, and you can also read lyrics, discover similar songs, follow artists to check out what they’ve been Shazamming and thus add new flavors to your tastes in music, start an Apple Music station using the songs you’ve Shazamed – as you can see, Shazam is immensely versatile and a must-have app for music fanatics worldwide.
With Amazon Music, you can let your music mania run wild and free like an amazon in the jungle, as it gets you access to a ginormous music database containing tens of millions of songs and thousands of curated playlists and radio-stations. You can also enjoy weekly releases bringing you the latest top-of-the-charts hits and offline listening – but, as always, there’s an if: if you purchase an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription for $9.99 per month.
In case you have an Amazon Prime membership, subscription fees are more wallet-friendly, $7.99 per month or $79 per annum. Speaking of the Amazon Prime membership, Amazon Music provides free-of-charge streaming services for Prime members, allowing them to discover a curated music catalog comprised of two million ad-free songs, playlists, and radio stations. To absolutely nobody’s surprise, you can purchase any song available on Amazon via the app, listen to the music you’ve bought right away, and also import your iTunes collection to the Amazon Cloud using the app’s desktop edition.
If you’ve ever used YouTube – and we dare to guess that you have – you must be familiar with Vevo. Vevo is to today’s teens what MTV used to be in the 90s for the elder statesmen and stateswomen of millennials, as Vevo is home to the music videos of today’s biggest hits performed by the brightest shining stars of contemporary pop music. The Vevo app specializes is delivering a personalized music video experience, allowing you to cherry-pick your favorite featured artists and get notified every time they launch a new music video, a can’t-miss collab, or a goosebumps-inducing live performance. You can follow fellow Vevo users and artists, and also put together genre-based playlists from your most beloved songs.
Ah, the curse of the related and recommended videos! Getting lost and completely derailed from your original goal on YouTube is easier than falling in love with the silky smooth voice of Otis Redding, so even if you’re opening the app with serious music listening plans in mind, you can easily end up watching basketball sneaker reviews in about fifteen minutes. YouTube Music eliminates all non-musical distractions, and features an engine that learns your tastes over time, resulting in more relevant and more personalized recommendations.
If you have a YouTube Red subscription (which, by the way, is free for a month), you can watch all music videos completely ad-free, keep listening to music even when your screen is turned off, and last not least put together offline mixtapes you can listen to without having to sacrifice a single byte of your mobile data plan.
Pandora – Music & Radio specializes in delivering a wholly personalized music experience, which means that you can create personalized radio stations from songs, artists, and genres. Just like in the case of YouTube Music, the more you use Pandora, the more the app will learn about your musical tastes, and the more fitting recommendations it will provide.
If you’re shooting for free-of-charge use, be prepared for ads and limited skips and replays. To get rid of this hardly likable trio of, you only have to spend $4.99 per month on Pandora Plus, which will also net you offline listening and higher quality audio. If you’re shooting for the stars, and by stars we mean even more advanced features, go for the $12.99 per month Pandora Premium, a blend of on-demand listening and personalized radio.
A Google-made music app on an iPhone? What has the world come to? Don’t worry, we’re only kidding. Sort of. Putting clowning aside, Google Play Music offers outstanding music streaming services for free, delivering recommendations based on a variety of factors (e.g. current mood, location, or activity) and giving you access to song-, artist-, and album-specific radio stations and thousands of playlists put together by experts.
Bad news for everyone living outside the U.S. and Canada: these features are only free in the aforementioned two countries, and require a subscription everywhere else. But worry none, rest of the world, as subscribing for Google Play Music only cuts into your budget for $9.99 per month, and it catapults the app’s capabilities to a whole ‘nother level: on-demand access to more than 40 million songs, ad-free and offline listening, and, to put the cherry on top, a YouTube Red membership without any additional charges.
IHeart Radio is as versatile of a music app as Ben Harper’s discography. With iHeart Radio, you can listen to AM and FM radio stations from all around the world, follow the sports world’s latest events on major sports radio stations, and stream your favorite podcasts. Regarding you music, you can put together your own radio station, selecting your favorite artists and tracks from a music catalog made up of millions of songs covering a wide array of genres.

TIDAL is far from being a revolutionary app that will send tidal waves through the music app genre, but if you’re willing to spend a bit more on outstandingly sophisticated features, you’ll definitely love it. TIDAL prides itself on being the very first music service bringing you songs – no less than 40 million of them – in lossless Hi-Fi quality, while also giving you access to over 130,000 ad-free, HD music videos.
Moreover, TIDAL packs heaps of curated content (playlists, recommendations, album reviews, and articles) courtesy of some of the best music journalists in the business to help you expand your musical horizons. Miscellaneous features include offline listening, artist- and song-specific radios, playlists, and many more – at least as many as there are marijuana references in a Sublime or a Slightly Stoopid song. A Tidal Premium subscription costs $12.99 per month, while the Hi-Fi package adds $25.99 to your monthly expenses.
Anyone who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s will remember the excitement every time a new Now album came out and you were introduced to the 50 new songs you would be listening to non-stop for the next six months.

You can even build your own playlists, combing your favorite songs from across the years of Now Music and save them for offline listening.

Do you find yourself often running out of storage space on your phone and deleting music to make room for the latest hits? Or even worse is your music collection a mess, scattered across different cloud storage services? Cloud Beats solves these problems and allows you to bring all of your music together from all of your different cloud storages. Meaning that you no longer have to have all of your music saved to your phone, taking up space. Cloud Beats does the hard work and combines all of your cloud services together and allows you to stream your music straight to your phone. You can build playlists with songs streaming from different storage services and even save them for offline use. The music player itself features a clean and simple design that allows you to focus on what’s important, the music rather than wasting time with complex interfaces.
In a post-iTunes world, where practically any song can be played whenever you want for a nominal monthly fee, music-previewing apps are fighting an uphill battle. HABU Music attempts to fight the good fight by carving out their own specialized niche in the music app empire via song labeling. It’s a decent idea, but HABU will need a little more refinement to become a must-own for serious audiophiles.
The app has two main features – the first sorts the music that users have on their iPhone into categories based on the mood of the song. There are 25 main categories like “Aggressive,” “Rowdy,” “Somber,” and “Sophisticated” that tunes are placed in. Users can also drill those 25 categories into 100 more specific sub-categories like “Dark/Groovy” and “Powerful/Heroic.”
It’s a neat idea, and for anyone with a nice amount of music on their iPhone, it works great. But for those carrying iPhones with limited storage capability while possessing huge music libraries, HABU just doesn’t work. I still have most of my music on a 120 gig iPod Classic, choosing instead to leave my iPhone storage space for games, photos and other miscellaneous things.
The music not on my iPod is usually found quickly via the Spotify app on my iPhone, but HABU doesn’t sync up with Spotify, so any listening I do there is irrelevant to the HABU experience. This issue of compatibility isn’t surprising, and for most people it probably won’t be a deal breaker, but it severely lessens how useful HABU is for a listener like myself.
HABU’s other main feature lets users check out preview clips of a number of songs in the previously-mentioned mood categories. Users can then purchase the song they’ve previewed for their personal use via an iTunes link right in the app. There’s nice value in being able to preview any number of songs, but for some, streaming apps like Rdio and Spotify have made previewing songs (and purchasing them for a dollar a piece!) as novel as buying a CD.
How useful you find HABU Music really depends on what sort of music listener you are. If you have a modest music library that you carry on your iPhone and you often purchase songs out of iTunes, HABU Music is a cool way to organize your music by mood rather than artist or album. If your life is overloaded with tunes and you’re already using music streaming apps, HABU won’t bring much to the table, not until it finds away to meaningfully interact with those music-streaming apps.
A few weeks ago, my boyfriend pulled up a video on his iPad, Classic Album: Nevermind, a behind-the-scenes mini-doc about Nirvana’s seminal album and the legacy lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain has left behind. It was fascinating to learn the concept behind the video for “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” and to hear interviews with band members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl speaking candidly about Cobain’s apprehensions about fame. We were watching the video on Qello – Watch HD Music Concerts; it was my first foray into the wonderful world of this streaming concerts and music documentaries app.
Qello makes selecting the perfect content for you a cinch with its easy navigation system: you can search by artist, genre and decade (starting in 1960 through to today), or by manually typing in the name of whatever you’re looking for. A quick search in the punk genre brings up videos from The Stranglers live at the Hammersmith Apollo to the New York Dolls’ feature-length documentary All Dolled Up. Browse through the decades and stop to watch Dusty Springfield live at the Royal Albert Hall in 1979 and then Beirut at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in 2009.
My favorite Qello feature by far is “My Setlists.” Here you can curate your own concert by pulling songs from different bands, genres and decades. Where else can you listen to Phil Collins perform “If Leaving Me Is Easy” (from Classic Album: Face Value) followed by Bad Company’s “Can’t Get Enough” (from Live at Wembley in London) and then Fleetwood Mac’s “Gold Dust Woman” (from Classic Album: Rumors), all in one “concert” sitting?
If your idea of fun is staying home on a Friday night and watching old band videos and music documentaries—like mine is—then Qello is definitely the app for you.
It’s a major bummer to find out that your favorite band or artist is coming to town after the show is already sold out. If only you had known sooner — or had Songkick Concerts on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Songkick scans the content of your iPod, and then matches artists you like with upcoming concerts in your location. On my first launch, Songkick didn’t prompt me to turn on location services, so it didn’t automatically detect my city. I’m not sure if this was a fluke or a glitch in the app, but I had to turn the feature on manually via the settings panel. Even with it on, the app needed a force quit and relaunch to grab the new information. After jumping that roadblock, I had to create a Songkick account to access the app’s full features. Make sure you don’t mistype your password when registering — I did and was then forced to use a new email address because it said the first one I entered was already in use.
Once your account is set up, the app will create a list of concerts based on your location. Via the “Artists” tab, users can skim musicians in their iTunes, and currently touring groups will be marked with a banner. If you enable notifications, Songkick will tell you via push of newly added concerts of the artists’ you’re tracking. By default, the app automatically tracks every artist in your library. There doesn’t seem to be an option to turn this off. To only track select artists, you’ll need to disable tracking individually — that could add up to a lot of work if you have a large collection of tunes.
Under “locations,” you can find all concerts in your current location, as well as add other cities. There is also a calendar feature if you want to find gigs on a certain date. The formatting of the calendar is laid out British-style (rows are Monday to Sunday), but when you tap a date, your results will show one off, as if the calendar was laid out Sunday to Saturday. That means if you’re looking for concerts on June 18, better tap June 19 or you’ll miss the shows. The calendar also defaults to May (and obviously, it’s June), and hitting the forward arrow takes you to July. That all adds up to quite a few glitches on what’s really a primary feature of the app. “Concerts” will show you your personalized show list, recently added shows and your plans — events you’ve marked that you’re attending.
I like the idea of Songkick Concerts and think users will find it helpful — if it can get its tech together.
8Tracks Radio is one of the best music-discovery apps I’ve seen on the iPhone. While I absolutely support the numerous radio station apps available to download, there’s still something just a bit more interesting and personal to a mixtape, and 8Tracks Radio combines the joy of great music discovery with the personalization of the mixtape.
What’s immediately enjoyable about 8Tracks Radio is that you don’t need to log on or register to enjoy the music. You can jump right in as an anonymous user and listen to everyone’s mixtapes via the numerous ways they’re sorted.
And you’ll have quite a few options for listening, from the featured mixtapes to hot mixtapes and the newly posted mixes, there is plenty of music to keep you busy. If that’s not enough, you can search by music genre, artist or mix title. In short, there’s basically no way you’ll be lacking for good music.
While you can do all that without registering, signing up for a free account does offer a few benefits. Namely, you’ll be able to “like” a mixtape so you can listen to it whenever you want. You’ll also be able to create a “mixfeed,” which lets you monitor users so you’ll know if they put out a new mix to listen to.
About the only thing you can’t do on 8Tracks Radio is make your own mix. For that, you’ll have to go to the 8Tracks website and work your magic from there.
Aside from that omission, the 8Tracks Radio app has almost everything you could want from a music discovery app.

Learning a musical instrument can be a significantly rewarding experience in terms of heightened brain performance and entertainment. While many strive to learn a musical instrument, the costs associated with lessons and learning material can be a large barrier for starting. With the introduction of mobile apps however, several of the ongoing costs are eliminated so that many people can begin to learn. For those who are interested in learning an instrument of their choice, the apps listed in this article can provide a tremendous amount of value in terms of monetary and time benefits.
Several traditional aspects of playing the piano can restrict many from starting such as the fee for a teacher, the cost of the piano itself, and having to practice where the piano is. To eliminate these barriers, Simply Piano allows users, both novices and professionals, to play wherever they are. Although the piano keys on the screen are smaller than what they would be on a typical piano, the sheet music is on the top half of the screen which progresses as the users play the corresponding keys. In having the sheet music move when the keys are played, Simply Piano breaks down many of the traditional restrictions that are associated with learning to include expensive lessons or the need to spend thousands of dollars on a piano. In the form of a mobile app, it further allows players to practice from anywhere instead of only where there is a physical piano, making it one of the best apps available on the App Store for those who wish to learn piano or improve their skills.

One of the most popular instruments to play is the guitar as a result of its lightweight and inexpensive nature. Although transitioning the entire guitar into a mobile interface is difficult, Coach Guitar has been able to do so in an intuitive way that makes it easy to begin learning. To make the learning process more fun, the sample songs that are meant to train the students consist of modern and classic songs that are familiar to many. In having these popular songs as the examples, learning becomes easier to grasp as the melodies and timings are familiar. Furthermore, each song has a variety of difficulty levels so that both those who are new as well as experts are able to follow along. A highly captivating aspect of Coach Guitar is that users are able to also tune the guitar according to their preferences in order to closer match the feel and sound of a physical guitar, making it one of the best mobile emulators.

Leveraging the hardware that is integrated in the phones, Ocarina is a highly comprehensive flute emulator that requires users to use both their fingers and mouths to play. To practice, players need to blow into the microphone which is breath sensitive as well as place their fingers over the “holes” on the screen. As Ocarina offers one of the closest mobile versions of physical instruments, learning is extremely natural while thousands of songs are available for players to begin learning. For example, other users can generate covers of their favorite songs and then upload it so that others are able to practice along as well. In doing so, learning not only becomes more entertaining, but also intuitive as with the Coach Guitar. Furthermore, the tilt of the phone can also be used to adjust the rate and depth of the sounds to further mimic a traditional flute and ultimately make it resemble a physical flute.
Check out this video to see what you can do with Ocarina! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEdiG8dJhbY http://ocarina.smule.com Get Ocarina on iTunes: http://bit.ly/GetTheOcarina Buy this Smule iPhone Application from Apple iTunes AppStore: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=293053479&mt=8
While it may be enticing to attempt to learn an instrument, it is extremely important to begin with a strong foundation. For this reason, learning how to read music is one of the first steps that every musician must take before they are able to begin with any instrument as the ability to sheet read is universal. To gamify the learning process, Music Tutor is an app which introduces various lessons and quizzes that are more engaging than traditional pen-and-paper tests. Furthermore, as an app, Music Tutor can be taken anywhere so that users have the option to learn when they have free time instead of having a stringent and fixed schedule. The app is able to report the progress that is made by storing stats such as response and accuracy so that users can see how they are advancing in their lessons over time, making it highly essential for those who are interested in learning to play an instrument.
Deviating from physical instruments, a form of musical arts that is often overlooked when discussing instruments is singing. Although more intuitive than the other instruments that are available, the ability to sing can be significantly improved with the use of mobile apps. SingTrue helps users sing by using the microphone to listen to the pitch and tone and compares it to how it should actually sound. In providing feedback, users can significantly improve their ability to sing without having to spend a significant amount of money on lessons or a coach. Furthermore, users can track the progress that is made with the use of the exercises that are available. While many may think that the ability to sing is a direct result of inherent talent, the reality is that it is a skill that can be learned through various means, including the SingTrue app to improve.
SingTrue™ teaches you to sing easily, confidently and in perfect tune – even if you think you’re tone deaf! Worried that you have a bad voice? Get told you’re out of tune or off-key when you sing? Many people think they can’t sing because they don’t have talent or a gift.
To begin receiving the benefits of learning a musical instrument, the apps in this article are able to offer a tremendous amount of value in terms of reducing costs and increasing convenience. From guitar to piano lessons, mobile apps can enable nearly anyone from any skill level to practice wherever they are at no cost. Furthermore, many of these apps can provide real-time feedback to the players so that they are able to continually improve without the need for expensive instructors or lesson, making them highly recommended for those who wish to learn a musical instrument.

There aren’t many professional writing apps available today, and even fewer that focus purely on music. TabBank is one such app that’s dedicated to musicians – specifically guitarists – by providing them with a blank surface on which they can write an unlimited amount of songs. While it won’t appeal to everyone – how artists go about their work is such a personal thing – it can act as a useful music-writing tool for many.
Using TabBank, guitarists have the ability to create the essential parts of a song: its lyrics and notes. Using the device’s standard keyboard, you can title the song, give it an artist, write down the lyrics, and then include the notes in bracket form above or below whichever lyric they correlate with. On top of this, there’s a feature that allows you to create six rows of dotted lines, within which you can create your own tab. So, whether you’re writing a simple melody with lyrics alongside, or creating a guitar solo that needs to be written more specifically, TabBank can cater that.

As soon as you’re done writing your next hit, TabBank gives you a few options. You can edit the song as many times as you like, change the text style and size (the best effect is making the lyrics and chords look handwritten), and finally export it.
There’s nothing else involved in writing down a song using TabBank, and that’s its strongest asset. In being so simple it’s easy to pick up and understand; there’s nothing too confusing about how it works and, most importantly, how you can go about writing a piece of music down. Its ability to create tab is an added bonus, as most guitarists can read music this way. Some musicians might feel let down that notation is absent, but it’s too complicated-a way of writing music to be included in such a simple-to-use app. The addition of different fonts and sizes is also welcome, allowing users to create something that looks less computerised and more natural.
Most guitarists and musicians as a whole write songs with pencil in hand, so for many TabBank will feel alien. There is of course the question of why you’d need to download an app when you can use a pencil and paper, and that’s why it won’t appeal to some. But it’s organised, neat, and tidy: everything most hand-written music sheets aren’t. It’s a great way of storing your music all in one place, making sure it’s not forgotten. If you’re the type of guitarist that sits in a mess of crumpled up sheets of nearly-songs, TabBank could be the app for you.
Computers can never match instruments for authenticity: no matter how responsive they are, tapping a screen to play different notes isn’t the same as playing a keyboard. What they can at least get closer to, though, is producing electronic music, and the rise in people interested in becoming DJs has created an opportunity for computers to cater for this. Groovebox is such an opportunity, and while it may not have the technical complexity of other pieces of music-making software, it’s an easy way for people to test, and hone in on, their skills.
Groovebox gives its musicians access to three different types of sound: Drumbox, Retrobass, and Poly-8, and within these categories are different pieces of music. Each has its own unique sound, allowing you to manipulate the music in different ways, but together they can be combined to create a song. For example Drumbox lets you choose from eight beats, Retrobass from 20 bass lines, and 19 tracks are available on Poly-8. By using trial and error, you can mix any pre-made track to go into your song, and then further edit it by changing aspects like distortion, pitch, and delay. Other eatures you can manipulate to the song as a whole are speed, key, and rhythm.
Groovebox is perfect for those who want to have fun and mess around with sounds. Read our review here: https://appolicious.com/mix-music-with-groovebox/
There are more sounds and features available in the paid-for version of the app, with downloads ranging from £0.99 to £4.99; these are only relevant for those looking to take things a bit more seriously, though. Once you’re happy with the sounds you do have, Groovebox provides you with save files so that you can leave and return to it later, or alternatively send it elsewhere. In choosing to do so you can save it as an AAC or WAV file depending on the size you want it, and then send it to iCloud Drive or via Message, Mail, or AirDrop.
Groovebox is perfect for those who want to have fun and mess around with sounds, but nothing more. The choice of music it provides is good if you’re using it as a way to see how you can mix them together, but anything more detailed and it proves to be a shallow selection – this can hardly be a criticism for a free app, though. What is frustrating about Groovebox, though, is how fiddly and difficult to use the ‘knobs’ can be. Half of the fun of playing around with a piece of music is testing what happens when you turn the distortion up, increase the pitch, or give the song more resonance, but in Groovebox this proves more annoying than enjoyable. Touch isn’t responsive enough; it works sometimes but others it swipes to a different screen. The problem may lie in each ‘knob’ being shown in a percentage rather than 1-10, so the margin for error is small. Whatever the issue, though, it ruins the experience.
Just to put a few songs together, Groovebox can be quite fun.
Just to put a few songs together, Groovebox can be quite fun. Even if electronic isn’t your type of music, it’s interesting to see how much is involved in making a song, even at this low-a level. The ability to export is a great feature – though it’s doubtful anything worth showing off will be created here. Perhaps if it were easier to navigate around and use, Groovebox could be a useful tool for beginner musicians. Instead, it’s more a hindrance than a help.
For the majority of the time, music is a purely audio medium. Unless we’re watching a music video, a film, or even watching its frequencies, we generally tend to just listen as we do other things or relax. This doesn’t have to be the case, though, as DanceDancePlayer, a brand new, visual way of experiencing music, shows.
DanceDancePlayer is essentially a music player, but with a twist. Whichever song or genre of music is playing, a computer generated female dances to it. You have the choice of four ‘dolls’: Red, Sporty Girl, Otohime, or Sci-Fi Girl. As well as the look and style of each ‘doll’, you can decide the style of the stage they dance in front of: neon, tropical, graffiti, medieval, portrait, or comics. Once you’ve decided your ‘doll’ and the stage, you have a choice between playing your own music and listning to the radio. The latter offers you over 70 thousand stations to choose from, so you’ll never be in short supply of songs to listen to. Giving the app access to your own music will allow you to shuffle and repeat, as with most other music players.
Whichever song or genre of music is playing, a computer generated female dances to it.
Visually the dolls – if not slightly creepy – are well designed. They look real – which perhaps doesn’t help the creepiness – and their movements are human-like. Their most impressive features occur when you’re not playing music, though: if you leave the app for too long they’ll stand bored, tapping their feet or checking their finger nails. Yet the app wasn’t designed for people who want to stare at artificial women – they have special names for those people – but to watch them dance along to music, and at that it works. It may take a few seconds for the ‘doll’ to get into the swing of things, but once they pick up the rhythm, they show all manner of dance moves. Whether it be slow Jazz or Drum and Bass, the character will begin recognising the shape of the music, and begin throwing shapes of their own. The number of moves they can perform is quite impressive as well, being anything from stretched-out ballet to drunken Dad-dancing.

How the developer created these characters, let alone make them dance to any form of music, is impressive. Watching them move to music won’t be for everybody; sometimes people just want to close their eyes and relax to a few songs. Yet for people looking for a bit more entertainment out of their soundtracks, or even just a plethora of radio stations to listen from, DanceDancePlayer provides that.
New hobbies can not only pose physical and mental challenges, but financial ones too. This rings true with most forms of music, be it having to fork out for a brand new fender or grand piano. One area of music which has moved from music venues to bedrooms over the last decade or so is DJ’ing, the subject of the app Infinite Music. It attempts to give anyone the chance of mixing their own soundtracks without the need to purchase the expensive equipment, and succeeds in letting any aspiring musician channel their inner DJ.
On a basic level, Infinite Music takes the music library from your phone or tablet and allows you to play it. A drop down list on the left hand side will separate your music between playlists, artists, albums, songs, and genres. Play any particular song and its information will appear over the majority of the screen, and this is where things become detailed. Surrounding the song’s image is a circle, filled in with visual details about the music and at which point it’s currently playing at. Below this the apps tells you the beats per minute, and even further down is a bar which gives you the standard music player features such as pause and play, but also gives you the options of infinite play and remix. In order to try your hand at the DJ’ing side of things, there are two buttons on the top and bottom right hand side: one which makes song transitions active or inactive, and another which lets you decide how long to leave it until the next song is played, whether it be every 30 seconds or every hour. Once this is all set up, it’s time to pick your playlist of songs to mix, which is as easy as picking your own made one, songs by activity, or songs by tempo – by tempo results in a nicer sounding mix.

Infinite Music sounds like an incredibly complex app, but after a short time playing around with its features you realise it’s a complex idea within a simple app. A question mark on the top right-hand corner does wonders at teaching you the ins and outs of how to build a remix, acting as a constant tutorial should you need reminding of anything. The overall layout isn’t too dissimilar to a standard media player, and the whole thing feels spacious, not like every feature is bundled all on one area of the screen to confuse things more. Then there’s the actual ease of picking a song or playlist and trying to mix everything together. The aforementioned question mark helps a lot, but every feature is simple and easy to understand. The fact that the app recognises a song’s tempo and can pick out moments that would mix well is genius, and makes you feel like the ultimate product is something you’ve concocted yourself. There are few other apps which provide such a depth of experience.
The fact that the app recognises a song’s tempo and can pick out moments that would mix well is genius
If you fancy yourself to be the next Tiesto, then Infinite Music is the place to start. Not only does it give people a taste of what’s involved in mixing music, but it’s incredibly fun even for those who aren’t interested in DJ’ing. It gives you another way of looking at your music library, even introducing you to songs you haven’t paid much attention to before, or old classics that you’ve forgotten about.
The development in both hardware and software that has transformed the music landscape continues to revolutionize the music listening experience. From increased portability with Walkman players to MP3s and even instantaneous remixes to songs that can be made with extreme ease, mobile devices coupled with apps have opened up an endless amount of possibilities that can be done with music files.
Although the evolution of the music listening experience is extremely exciting, replaying the same songs from the users library can become dull, hence the introduction of apps inclduing Spotify and Infinite Music which enable the discovery of new songs as well as remixes of existing songs.
Whereas a large aspect of Spotify is to enable its users to discover the playlists created by other listeners, Infinite Music aims to utilize the existing music found on a user’s mobile device to create new mashups and remixes, effectively allowing listeners to “rediscover” their music in a way that they have not heard before. This unique aspect of creating songs is done through several algorithms that are able to determine which parts of various songs flow best together. For example, Infinite Music plays the various songs as a single song by combining different parts of songs that are dynamically similar rather than just randomly combing them together. Through the ability to smoothly sync different songs into one, listeners are able to receive mashups that are similar to those created by professional DJs.
One of the most notable aspects of the app involves activity detection which is able to automatically recognize what users are doing in order to provide a mashup that accurately matches the rhythm of the activity. When walking or resting, for example, Infinite Music would create a remix that has slower beats and tempo whereas running or cycling would create songs which are quicker in nature. By combining songs automatically in unique sequences, listeners are able to avoid the fatigue of listening to the same songs on repeat but are instead exposed to combined versions of their favorite songs. Despite the app utilizing sophisticated algorithms to detect the rhythms within songs, the automation of the mashup creation ensures that the entire process is extremely simple for the user.
Infinite Music aims to utilize the existing music found on a user’s mobile device to create new mashups and remixes, effectively allowing listeners to “rediscover” their music in a way that they have not heard before.
In aggregate, the app is highly unique in nature and provides a service that other apps have not yet been able to replicate. However, as the Infinite Music does automate a significant part of its services, the degree to which the algorithm is able to effectively merge several songs together in a way that is smooth is entirely subjective. This can occur if the app deems that two songs have similar rhythms to combine but the user may regard the songs as quite different. Overall, this issue is one that can arise but is a direct result of process automation, although it is a subjective issue based on individual preference.
To combine existing songs to form unique remixes, Infinite Music is a perfect solution for automatically creating new mashups to rediscover old tracks. Utilizing complex algorithms to find the optimal time in a song to combine with others, the app acts as a personal DJ to bring together existing songs on a user’s playlist, ensuring that the results are tailored to the preferences and activities of the listener.

With the growing number of resources available for seamless downloading and syncing of music, a vast range of apps are made accessible to users who are looking for inexpensive music tools. Through these apps, downloading music for the iPhone is both inexpensive and quicker than traditional means, all while being locally done on the device. In this article, we explore the best apps on the App Store for downloading music straight onto the device beyond the basic functionalities of the stock app.
Spotify
Spotify is considered to be one of the most popular music applications in the world. With a simple interface, users can quickly listen to music on demand with the ability to search, browse, and discover new music. One of the most sought after features, Discovery, allows its users to browse for music based on their current mood from joy to energetic. As the app requires an account, music stored on one device can be accessed from any other device with Spotify and the login credentials. With a premium subscription, users are able to download music tracks to their iPhones directly for access even when offline. Furthermore, users are able to share their playlists so that others who are interested are able to access the songs and listen to the music of others, bringing a new social aspect to the music space.
Tidal
Similarly to Spotify, Tidal offers a range of music services to its users. For a complete experience, Tidal extends beyond just audio to encompass music videos, recommendations, and even stories. The stories provide music articles, features, and interviews with various artists so that those who are interested in the artist behind the music are able to have a more in-depth experience. Furthermore, offline mode and favorites can be accessed so that users can quickly listen to their songs with extreme ease. While the prices vary for every country, the monthly premium prices are high compared to other alternative apps for obtaining music, although the additional services may entice those looking for an in-depth music experience to make the purchase.
Google Play Music
Available for both Apple and Android users, the Google Play Music app offers both free and paid services. Free services are limited to strictly streaming music while those who choose to pay for a premium subscription at $1.99 USD will be able to save songs directly to their iPhones without a need for internet connection. Furthermore, radio and recommendation features are also available for free while the subscription features include no ads, YouTube Red membership, and family plans for up to 6 members who are able to get a discounted price. Similar to Spotify, an account is required which helps to store music across devices and even desktop with the use of credentials, reducing friction for users who want to sync music files between several devices.
Deezer
Although relatively new, Deezer is to differentiate itself from competing music apps through a highly personalized music experience. By recognizing unique music taste, the app curates the music experience on a user-by-user basis which is done with several functionalities. One such feature, Flow, learns music preferences of the individual and then introduces new ones based on prior playlist history. By learning the personal taste of each listener, this feature is able to suggest songs which the listener is most likely to enjoy. Other features include on-screen lyrics and radio which other apps are also able to provide. With the Deezer Premium+ at $6/month, music can be downloaded for offline listening along with other features to include ad free and unlimited streaming. While pricey, the premium services can be tried for free for an entire month before users must decide on whether or not the service is worth paying for.
Amazon Prime Music
Amazon Prime Music is the music streaming service that is offered by Amazon which offers one of the most extensive music libraries available. With tens of millions of songs and updated weekly releases, users of the Amazon Music app constantly have the updated music available prior to other competitors. With the Amazon music Unlimited membership users can download their albums, songs, or playlists for offline listening. While the app offers comprehensive services, it is quite large compared to other apps at 94MB which can be straining for those with limited memory capacity.
Shazam
When listening to a new song that s unfamiliar, it can be extremely difficult to remember certain lyrics to search for the song later. Shazam allows users to automatically detect the song with the app in seconds and then provides purchasing options, lyrics, and streaming once the song is recognized. By automatically detecting and providing information based on just hearing the song, the app is most applicable to those who strive to discover new music while on the go. Beyond recognizing songs, the Shazam app also recommends new music based on the previous detected music as well as the playlist history of the user. Furthermore, recommendations can be based on geographic location by town, country, or world.
With the large number of apps available for downloading music straight from the iPhone, users have many options to choose from depending on their specific needs and budgets. Whether to stream, store for offline listening, or discovering new songs, these features can be found in the apps listed in this article either for free or for a monthly subscription price that meets the needs of the listener.

Most people who enjoy music prefer to explore the hidden melody behind different songs with their own interpretations to see why it is so catchy or appealing.
The Melody Composer Squared app has specifically been designed for such individuals to let them know how music would look like if it were a visual diagram. As a result, people listening to music anywhere in the world are able to get the chance to look at music from a different perspective that combines visual effects rather than just audio senses.

For individuals who are looking to get a different experience when listening to music, the app combines the visuals developed from the music with a simple user interface to match.

To unlock the secret of exceptional melodies that some songs in the music industry have, users of Melody Composer Squared are able to visually see every note that is playing instead of just trying to understand why a certain section of a song is so catchy by ear. With this, people are able to better explore the reason that some songs are so popular and why they have the most impact on people. In addition, Melody Composer Squared offers a variety of sample melodies which can be analyzed in detail to figure out their unique characteristics.
The example of editing a melody. Create a shape and modify it to get the best result. A visualization algorithm helps to see a melody path through 4 musical measures at once.
While the app is somewhat technical with music notes and in-depth analysis on music structure, it can be initially challenging for those who are not musically inclined. To counter this, the app is ideally used by music students but offers a simple interface that can be explored to learn about music theory in detail for non-music students. To transition those who are not familiar with technical music, Melody Composer Squared is available to make learning about music theory more interesting and even encourages the students to come back from time to time and try out the additional features.
Although perfect for music students, the demographic reach is not restricted to those who are already familiar with music. Any person who is interested in the analysis of music can use this app without much barrier as the interface is designed for easy understanding. Furthermore, the songs are not restricted so that users can even analyze the melodies composed by some of the greatest musicians. The information extracted out of Melody Composer Squared can be used to serve a variety of purposes as well. For example, music students can use the information on their assignments whereas music lovers who are not experienced with music theory can utilize the app to understand their favorite songs and make their melodies better.
