Panamp – The Music Player
Panamp is an interesting audio player for you music library. They face some steep competition in that the music player from Apple does a pretty good job as it is and has the advantage of being native. However saying that Panamp offers some interesting features that make a refreshing change from the usual way of managing your music and playlists. One of the best features is the ability to create dynamic playlists or ‘Queues’ of tracks you choose with a swipe. This feels incredibly intuitive in use. A swipe in the opposite direction will find all songs by that artist, their tracks and related albums....
Hoopla
Ever fancied yourself as an air drummer? Well you’re in luck Hoopla has you covered! John the developer has been creating music apps for a while mostly catering to those with a bit of musical knowledge as the apps are quite technical. John decided to take Hoopla back to basics making hoopla a great and fun intro to the world of air drumming. Hoopla offers a host of cool sounds and effects that can be assigned to 3 different directions so that when you shake your iPhone either to the left right or forwards the chosen drum or sound effect plays.

SHOUTcast
This really is an essential app for anyone who enjoys music, SHOUTcast has over 32,000 stations hosted by people all over the world from bedrooms to studios covering every genre imaginable. One of our favourite apps of all time and it’s free! The only thing we think let’s it down is it stops playing after the iPhone/iPod locks itself so you have to disable auto lock while using it which also drains the battery. Hopefully this will be remedied in a future update. However we still love and give this app 5/5. The SHOUTcast Radio Directory features over 32,000 professional and community programmed radio stations...
Shazam Encore
Ever been out and heard a song and thought, ‘what’s that tune?’ yeah me too and all the time. Well Shazam Encore is the app for you, simply hold it up and it will quickly find and tell you what the song is that’s playing! It’s pretty amazing and surprisingly accurate, in our tests it got the song right 100% of the time even when we were trying to fool and it even managed to pick up the Eastenders intro on the TV from the opposite side of the room through people talking quite loud. Impressive! The only thing that lets it down is there...
