Some of the highlights of the past few weeks:
- The basic idea for the iPhone application is known. At a basic level the purpose of the application is to create a lightweight version of Tunify. So the application could allow you to browse and edit your playlists, browse the music channels, look for similar music and maybe allow you to schedule your playlists as well. Besides that, the idea is to create some interesting extensions. Possible ideas could be to include a social networking component, offering users to share songs and collaborate in the creation of playlists or basically anything that sounds interesting and has value for the user. It could also be nice to do things with the built-in GPS of the iPhone, the time of the day, the weather outside... I'll think about these things the moment I've finished the literature study.
- The first presentation has been given. The purpose was to give an idea of the work that has been done so far and the future planning. The slides are available here (in pdf format). Note that there is a little error on the sixth slide: Ocarina does not allow you to listen in real-time to performances of other users. It does however, try to select the most recently played tune.
