There are loads of music applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch, which is hardly surprising considering the history of the iPod device and the deep integration of the portable devices with iTunes.
Up until now, the most downloaded application for jailbroken iPhones on Cydia was also a music-related one: TuneWiki, an app that brings music streaming, a lyrics database and music videos from YouTube to one social, customizable media player (iTunes link). In total, the application was downloaded an estimated 2 million times through the Cydia Store.
As of yesterday, venture capital-backed TuneWiki went ‘legit’ by releasing an official application for the iPhone platform, and the app is already making its way to the list of most popular apps on the App Store. It brings lots of goodness, especially for a free app.
When you use TuneWiki to stream radio station broadcasts, the software lets you purchase songs you’re listening to directly from iTunes with just one click. It automatically streams lyrics from its database of over 2.7 million licensed lyrics files for both audio and video, and includes the option to translate them into 40+ languages. TuneWiki also plugs into third-party social networks so you can share music you’re listening to on Facebook and Twitter, and features interactive music maps that show what users are listening to across the globe. Finally, you can ’skin’ the player to personalize your experience.
TuneWiki is not only available on the iPhone / iPod Touch, as it also boasts applications for the Android platform (since May 2008) and BlackBerry.
A must-have for music lovers.
A must-have indeed, the lyric streaming feature can be quite handy
If I had an iPhone I might care more. Maybe I should get one just so that half the posts on tech blogs become relevant to me.
Or just get any popular cell phone and the articles could be of interest.
The last paragraph of this article states, “TuneWiki is not only available on the iPhone / iPod Touch, as it also boasts applications for the Android platform (since May 2008) and BlackBerry.”
There are plenty of music applications for the iPhone app, I myself have featured many on http://www.appgiveaway.com
Good Luck TuneWiki
another one.. Phew
It’s great but full of inappropriate adverts for a young audience or anyone wanting to use this on public transport!
Apologies for our overlooking this. We just blocked a few minutes ago anything that has to do with fun activities (drinking, smocking, political arguing and adult entertainment) – hopefully our ad network providers react fast and remove them.
I would download TuneWiki for my BlackBerry, but Research in Motion skipped Australia and we cannot access the App World.
go ahead and grab it from http://www.tunewiki.com/device when there is no appworld service available
Who will believe that TuneWiki will be in the Appstore. great news and MAZAL TOV
Anything that has to do with an iPhone ends up being a true success
Wow, the commenters love hyperbole today
How can this startup help online businesses gain from using them?
Appstore is a jungle with more apps than users of this apps. I hope that tunewiki will find a good place
