Here is another item from Bob Lefsetz’s post What I Want for Christmas.
29. A Great Music App
That is customizable, that allows me to track any and all of my favorite artists.
I agree completely! As I have gotten more involved in the app world through Jordan Rudess and his awesome app Morphwiz I have come to realize nobody has released a great music app for fans. I have downloaded a number of music apps and most are nothing more than simple extensions of a band’s website; tour dates, photo sharing, buy music, Twitter posts, and news. Usually what happens is once the tour is done I delete the app as the app quickly dies, or I quickly loose interest as I get more engagement through Facebook.
I have not found the ideal app to track all my favorite artists. I would love to see something that:
- alerts me to shows
- ticket onsales
- new releases
- tv appearances
- radio interviews
- newspaper and magazine appearances
- new merchandise
- accurate set lists
- details on shows; such as set times, fan gatherings, ability to buy show recordings
- something that brings a new level on interaction at a concert
- helps locate fans nearby
I want something I don’t have to configure, it just looks at all the artists in my iPod app and automatically sets up the alerts. I also want something that is just as useful when the artist is not touring as when they are.
What else would you want in your ideal music app?
