Tunepal - Coming next week to Android!

Hi guys

Just to let you know that Tunepal, the music search engine for traditional music will be available next week for Android mobile phones such as the HTC Hero/Legend/Desire and the Motorola Droid X. Tunepal for Android is 100% feature compatible with Tunepal for iPhone:

  • Search a database of over 13,000 compositions (including the entire thesession.org collection)
  • Search by title or by playing a phrase on a traditional instrument.
  • Tunepal works with tin-whistle, flute, uilleann pipes, concertina etc. Even in noisy sessions
  • Play in non-standard keys, such as Eb, B and F
  • Retrieve the ABC notation, play it back or view the stave
  • Play back using 128 high quality MIDi instruments, speed up, slow down or transpose playback.
  • Rotate your phone to get a landscape view of the stave
  • Track your retreved tunes on the map

Tunepal for Android even supports speech to text, so you can search for a tune by saying the name!

Congratulations!

Thanks! You should investigate Android too. IMO its a much nicer (and easier) platform to develop for.

Nice one Bryan - congrats.
I’m contemplating possibly getting an Android phone for my next upgrade, depending on what contract deals and handsets are on offer… though alas my regular session is in a location with an appalling-to-non-existent (and unlikely to improve) signal from my network provider, so even if I had one and acquired the app (I would if I do get one), regular field use is unlikely!
The handsets thing is a bit of an issue as yet too, 'cos I’m not too keen on the idea of touch-screen and I want a decent camera as that is what I use most/to best effect on my mobile (current one has 8.1MP) besides its main function.
