1. iHeartRadio
Have you moved away and want to listen to your old radio station? Are you sick of the same old music your radio station plays over and over again?
This app offers more than 800 radio stations from around the country in the palm of your hand. Separated by genre or location, iHeartRadio caters to your music taste and provides you with a catalog of more than 11 million songs.

What song is this? Who sings this again? If you find yourself constantly asking yourself those questions, then Shazam is right up your alley.
All you have to do is point your device to the sound of the beat and it automatically tells you the song and artist name. A new version allows you to see the lyrics of the song in question and belt it out like you knew it all along.

Imagine knowing every time a single or album from your favorite artist drops. Rather than waiting to hear it on the radio, this app syncs to your iTunes playlist and allows you to preview songs before you decide to purchase.

There is nothing like the thrill of live music from your favorite musicians. This app syncs to your location and gives you a listing of all of the concerts in the area by date.
You can follow artists you like to see when they are coming to your area and can even create a calendar for upcoming shows in in a wish list fashion.

Whether you are an indie music-loving hipster or you know nothing about the genre, put your iTunes library to the test.
With hipster animations (bold commentary included) this app scans your iTunes library and gives you recommendations on indie artists and songs based on your taste level. If you are more into the pop scene, there is Pocket Popstar as well.

Interested in making your own music or voice recording and sharing it easily online? This app gives you the opportunity to record and upload your own sounds to social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
If composing is more your thing, Sunvox provides all the tools necessary, from an amplifier to a vibrato, to create your own masterpiece.

For the active spirit inside all of us comes an app that is solely based on speed and motion control. Whether you are running or driving, the app measures your speed and pumps up the volume as you get faster (and vice versa).

Pump up the volume with this app that smooths out the peaks and valleys between songs for a more consistent listening experience. It's great for noisy environments or mixed genre playlists.

Gone are the days when you have to sift through every CD or continuously turn the dial on the radio to find the perfect song. Whether you are a music junkie or need help selecting music based on genre, finding your favorite music has never been easier.
