Audiobox.fm iPhone App Approved - Your Cloud Music Goes Mobile

Audiobox.fm is a great online music service I reviewed a while ago while it was in its early stages of development. The developers are based in Italy, and this - compared to the fact that the service was very promising - couldn’t make me happier. During these months the developers have been working hard on improving the reliability, UI and accessibility of the app, and it shows. It’s almost a new webapp, with a redesigned dashboard interface and lots of more options, plans and extra apps.

Among these apps the iPhone client, which has been approved by Apple and it’s now available for free in the App Store.

Turn Sheet Music Pages on the iPad…With The Tap of Toe

We saw the iPad being used as music instrument in the past. There are hundreds of cool applications for DJs, guitar players, even orchestra directors. I bet you haven’t seen anything like this though. A free-hand controller that connects to the iPad and allows musicians to turn music pages using their feet, thus being able to play the instrument.

TUAW reports:

“A company called Airturn has developed the BT-105, a Bluetooth foot switch for turning pages on the iPad forward and backward using a tap of a foot. As Hugh Sung explains in the video above, it allows instrumentalists who are busy with both hands to use a toe to tap one of the two switches to move through the score easily.”

It will be available later this year.  Check out the demo video below.

Decrescendo Helps You Fall Asleep with Music

Of all the bad habits I have, one I managed to kick is falling asleep with music. Yes, I used to go to bed with my earphones on and music playing until I was unable to listen to it. I read a lot of people do it - but I couldn’t stand waking up with cables all over my bed. I felt stupid for that habit.

Now we (I, actually) have a problem. There’s this new iPhone app, Decrescendo, which helps you falling asleep with your music, it’s “intelligent” and looks great on the Retina Display. Oh boy.

Ether: Beautiful Online Radio, iPhone 4-ready

The Retina Display is great, and it’s always a pleasure to see updated apps show up in iTunes every day. If you don’t have an iPhone, you really have no idea how gorgeous apps look on it.

I was amazed by Ether, a simple radio app by Pandapps, as I saw the first screenshots in iTunes. Why? Because it’s the first music app that actually looks great on my new device.

Tripmix, Music Blocks made Easy

In North Carolina, my respective radio station is 106.5 The End (link might contain NSFW content). And while I don’t know too many people who still listen to their local radio stations, I’m a huge fan, thus the shameless plug (and the window sticker). Occasionally they’ll have a block party weekend, where they’ll play two or three songs by the same artist in a row, and it’s a format I really love. But now when I travel, I can have a block party weekend wherever I go with Tripmix.
