NoteWorthy for IPhone
We all have our own little ways to discover new music. Some of us browse artist recommendations on Last.fm, others skip through personalized radio stations on Pandora, and with the release of iTunes 8, the Genius sidebar is always just a click away. Still, one of the best ways to find out about great new songs and artists still remains one of the oldest - plain, good ol' word-of-mouth.
That's the idea behind NoteWorthy, a "listening to-do list" made by developer Roy Kolak. Instead of always having to pull out a crumpled-up piece of paper to feverishly jot things down whenever your friends recommend a new band or artist, NoteWorthy enables you to simply pull out your iPhone, look up the artist/album/song in question, and then save it for quick, offline viewing at a later date.
The app is powered by Last.fm's extensive database, which covers even the most obscure of music. I tested this out by asking a few friends to each name a virtually unheard-of musical artist, and in 83 percent of the cases we were able to find a match.
