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!

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.
