Just like they did last week with the reset of iCloud backups, Apple has now scheduled a reset of iTunes Match libraries for beta testers on September 26th 9AM PST. At that time, all iCloud libraries will be deleted.
To get ready for the big reset, you will simply have to turn iTunes Match off on your computer and iOS devices. Obviously, this will not affect any of the songs that are physically stored on your computer or your iDevice...
When you hear "Kazaa", you probably think of the illegal peer-to-peer file sharing application that became so popular around 2001. What you might not remember is that the company took the legit route back in 2009 when it became a legal music subscription service.
The company recently launched an iPhone application which allows you to stream music, just like you can with Rdio, Pandora, or Spotify. The downside? There's a membership fee of $10/month to use the app...
Turntable.fm has released its official iPhone app. Like we told you about last week, Turntable.fm has been working on an iPhone app that lets users access its hugely popular music social network.
Since the app's release in the App Store a couple days ago, Turntable.fm for iPhone has been receiving mixed responses of criticism and praise. All of the aspects that you love about Turntable.fm on the desktop have been ported to the iPhone, so start DJing!
If you're the kind of person who likes to play around in the snow, probably with a pair of skis or a snowboard, then chances are you're familiar with the problem of finding a way to listen to your music while flailing around in the white stuff. See, it's a bit cold out there, and taking your gloves off to skip a track or change the volume on your iPhone isn't that fun.
New gloves from Burton, manufacturer of snowboards and the like, aim to fix that little problem once and for all, by embedding iPod controls right into the fabric of some truly magical gloves...
Site Turntable.fm has been a huge success with music lovers online, and TechCrunch is now reporting that an official iPhone app should be spinning its way into the App Store as soon as next week.
In case you aren't familiar with Turntable, you can visit the project's website to see what's up. The tagline is "play music together," and that's exactly what Turntable lets you do. It's like the music equivalent of Facebook, with chat and listening "rooms" for you to DJ tunes and share music with friends.
Oh Google, you so crazy! After leaving us iPhone users out in the cold while our Android-toting brethren run around streaming their music from this thing they like to call 'the cloud' (it's a bit like iCloud, I'm told!) you finally decide to bring the Google Music circus to iOS.
In typical Google fashion, things have been implemented a little differently than how we expected. Google Music for iOS isn't a native app, but rather a web app. And it's pretty darn good one...
The iOS iPod app has been the cause of many music app spinoffs in the App Store. With Apple renaming the iPod app to "Music" in iOS 5, an even more precise focus has been given to what has already been heralded as the crown jewel of music apps.
While many App Store apps offer unique features and enhancements for the playback of music, NowPlayer stands out as the ultimate music playlist app. It's unique. It's fresh. Let's take a closer look...
iPhone and iPod docking station/speaker combos are nothing new – they've been around forever and come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, with models to fit every budget. iHome has taken the tried and tested formula that we've all been using for so long, and added AirPlay to the mix to create the iHome iW1: an AirPlay-equipped wireless audio system.
Set to go on sale on September 26th, the iHome iW1 will retail for $300, according to Engadget...
Soon after the iTunes Match beta went live earlier this week, reports started flooding in that the service did indeed support the streaming of music, a feature that wasn't advertised by Apple during the iCloud announcement. Many were originally disappointed that streaming was not included in iTunes Match, so the news that it was actually there was met with glee and happiness all around.
What people had discovered was that if you tapped on a song stored in iCloud, it started playing. If you started a new one and then went back after turning on Airplane Mode, the original song hadn't cached, which led people to believe it was streaming. But after Apple denied that streaming was included in iCloud, more questions starting being asked...
Online music streaming service Spotify has launched a new API that will allow independent iOS developers to bring the service to their own apps. The API, called Libspotify, means we could see Spotify built into all kinds of iPad, iPhone and iPod touch applictions moving forward.
While there is currently no word on whether the new Libspotify API will find itself to Android, it's perhaps interesting to note that the API is offered on a none-commercial basis, meaning paid-for apps will not be allowed to use it...
If you have an Apple TV, chances are you've played with AirPlay. The feature allows you to sling media content like music from your iDevice to your TV set, with almost no setup.
What if you don't have an Apple TV, but you'd still like an easy way to wirelessly play tunes off of your iDevice? It just so happens there's an easy solution, provided you're jailbroken and own a PS3...
We already know that Apple's iPhone 4 packs a great camera, and it's been used for filming short films and music videos before now. The latest creative to harness the power of the iPhone is a songer-songwriter who, according to a post on Mashable, has used their trusty handset to snap a photo for a new album's artwork...
