If you love music, your iPod Touch from Apple can be your best friend in the whole wide world. That is, if you have the right free iPod apps. With that in mind, here's a look at the absolute top 5 iPod music applications that will have you bouncing your head and dancing the night away.
This is by far, one of the very best music apps for the iPod Touch. If you like music, you may already know about the Music Genone Project which powers Pandora. If you don't, basically they've tagged a lot of music. What this means is that you can type in an artist or band name and Pandora will handcraft a music station for you to listen to based on what you like.
With a thumbs up and thumbs down feature, you can quickly "train" your Pandora station to emit only music you love! Another great reason to love it is because it's free. That's right, you can tap into this powerful way to enjoy and explore new music from your iPod for free. Once you start listening, you'll be hooked, so beware. It may become the most favored way for you to listen to iPod music. If nothing else, you're going to find some great new bands you might not have ever heard of before.
This is another great way to stream music to your iPod. The user interface is very easy to use, and gives you a look at the album cover as well, which is nice. There's a limit to how many times you can skip to the next iPod song, but if you're looking for background music not a particular song, this is a great way to enjoy music on your iPod. Speed and sound quality are great on the Slacker app, though, making it an easy and hassle-free way to listen to music wherever you are.
If you like listening to the radio, this music free iPod Touch application will have you jamming to local radio stations no matter where you are in the country. It's only Clearchannel stations that are available, but if you like radio, this is a great way to get it on your iPod in high quality.
If you've ever been somewhere and heard a song and wanted to know what it was, Shazam is the iPod music app for you. It allows you to identify songs that are playing wherever you are, which is pretty amazing when you stop and think about it. No more unknown songs floating through your mind!
If making music is more your thing (think Rock Band or Guitar Hero), this iPod app will have you tap tapping your way to music glory. Be warned that it is very addictive! If you love music, this iPod app will have you very happy. It's not the same as listening to music, but if you're a music lover who loves interaction and fun, it's going to be an iPod application you use often.
