    • Hey, I think it is a great idea. Except that you limit it to people who use iTunes? You're shutting out a whole lot of people.

Requests

  • Support last.fm usernames as a band source

    • Where does it pull concert data from? Also it would be cool to use last.fm data via a username instead of only iTunes data.

  • Import music data directly from iOS or Android devices

    From 1 comment
    • It'd also be nice if you could also pull iTunes data straight from a iOs or android device. I don't believe the APIs exist to do that via a web app, but it'd be nice.
