TuTuneMe™ (Music Player)

I was looking for a music player I could easily advance/rewind in increments to be able to jump around in recordings. This app let me set up a horizontal two finger swipe to advance/rewind 10 seconds, and a vertical two finger swipe to advance/rewind 30 seconds. I can now easily move around in my recordings.

Great with the ability to change songs, volume etc with gestures and a display that can be customized to you preferences. A landscape orientation that acts just like the portrait orientation, "what a great idea". Keeps my eyes on the road or trail if I am driving or running. Just a couple of quirks. I have to open the built in music app first to "update the library" or the songs you just added may not be there. The use of a bluetooth headset/headphones that have the ability to change songs or volume will interfere with the gesture recongition. The only way I have found around it is to remove and reinstall the app, then remember to reset the repeats and interfaces to my likings.

Okay, as of June 2010 this is the best I've found. Here's why: 1. It's pretty customizable. It's the only app I've been able to adapt to my specific needs. 2. I listen in the car. Although there are a number of car-oriented apps, they are generally playlist/artist oriented. 3. I don't use playlists; I think in terms of Albums and Artists. I want to be able to select an album (or an artist and then an album) safely and easily while driving. This app permits that. 4. I was able to assign an up-swipe to the album list. Perfect. I then pick an album, and the rest of the swipes operate against that album. Now we're cooking. 5. All other features are at least as good as those in other apps. Most are better. Being able to resize the album art, for example, is just good thinking. Lots more of that for your money. 6. Although I don't need the social media integration, some might find it useful. I don't know why I'd expect the world to care what song I'm listening to. But if that's your pleasure, it's in the app. 7. The multiple toolbars are an excellent idea, and can be customized/turned off as needed. This organized the interface nicely. Well-considered UI design is the make or break of an app; these guys are on-track. So, overall, I believe this is the one I'll be using going forward. 10 bucks, 12 other apps and lots of research precede this decision. Hope the above will help you.
