Location-based Playlist for iPhone

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

The location-based playlist iPhone app is in development for Little Computers. You hear music based on your area or the area of your choice. Songs you may here were written by artists in the area, played at venues in the area, reference the area. Additional features and mock-up below.

  • Listen to songs with history in and/or references to your area. Choices provided.
  • Ability to choose genre (I care about Bebop, not folk)
  • Choose any area you want, not just the area you are in now (I’m in NYC and want to hear Delta blues)
  • Click on map for directions to destination, if available
  • Map can pull you to other locations based on your preference settings
  • Ability to select songs from a list
  • Possibility of setting the radius you want the app to cover (5 blocks, 1 mile, entire city, etc)
  • Users provide content? I don’t know yet, I guess it could help.

I this this project on the Your First iPhone Application tutorial on Apple.com. Here is a screenshot and a zip of the code.
