Tunepal, an Irish-made iPhone app
The Irish Times reports an Irish musician and software technologist has devised an iPhone app that tells you the name of any piece of live trad music. Tunepal, an Irish-made iPhone app, can identify more than 13,000 traditional tunes. It was created by Bryan Duggan, a flute player and a lecturer in computer science at Dublin Institute of Technology. The EUR4.99 music search engine app, available from the iTunes App Store, also produces historical detail about every song.
