Here’s a cool idea: download lots of your favorite music from iTunes, install a small program, and find out which bands from your music library will be playing in your city automatically!以下是冷靜的想法:下載了很多自己喜歡的音樂從iTunes ,可安裝一個小程序,並找出哪個樂隊從你的音樂庫,將發揮在你的城市自動! Well, that sounds a little Web 3.0 to me with communication between multiple programs, services and databases all coming together to create something really useful.那麼,這聽起來有點網頁3.0 ,我與溝通,多程序,服務和數據庫都來共同創造一些真正有用的。

Of course the program I’m talking about,當然節目,我說的, iConcertCal iconcertcal , is not even a web app, but the functionality that it tries to create is the basic concept behind the new Web 3.0 movement. ,甚至不是一個Web應用,但功能,它試圖創造是基本的理念,新的Web 3.0運動。 You can see a few examples of this type of Web 3.0 technology today with such services as你可以看到一些例子,這種類型的Web 3.0技術,今天這樣的服務 Yahoo Pipes雅虎喉管 and Microsoft Popfly微軟popfly . Using Yahoo Pipes, for example, you can enter your利用雅虎管道,例如,你可以輸入你的 LastFM user name lastfm用戶名 and it will automatically take your list of recent tracks and find matching YouTube videos for them!它會自動取你的名單近期軌道,並找到匹配YouTube的影片,為他們!

Anyway, iConcertCal is a free iTunes plugin that will monitor your current music library and automatically create a personalized calendar of upcoming local concerts and gigs in your city.無論如何, iconcertcal是一個自由iTunes插入說,將監測您目前的音樂庫,並自動創建個性化的日曆即將舉行的地方音樂會和演出,在你的城市。 The new version of the software will also display album release dates in the calendar.新的軟件版本,也將會展出專輯發行日期,在日曆上。

Apparently the first version of this plug-in had a few problems and would crash iTunes altogether on Mac OS X. However, it seems like they have fixed some of these issues in version 2.0, so give it a shot and it should work.顯然,第一個版本的此插件在了一些問題,並會崩潰的iTunes總共在Mac OS X上,但似乎像他們都有固定的一些問題,在2.0版,所以給它打了,它應工作。 The calendar will be updated once a week and iConcertCal can even search for concerts outside of the United States.日曆將會更新一次,每週iconcertcal甚至可以尋找的演唱會在美國以外的國家。 If you prefer, you can export the iConcertCal from iTunes in iCal format and import it into your Google Calendar, etc.如果你願意,你可以匯出iconcertcal從iTunes中的iCal格式和進口到您的Google日曆等。

Other options include the ability to exclude artists, add additional artists that are not in your library and create a playlist that is monitored instead of the entire music collection.其他選擇包括有能力排除藝術家中,增加了額外的藝術家,是不是在你的圖書館和創建播放列表,即監察而不是整個音樂收藏。 You can also specify a search radius for finding concerts in other cities near yours.您也可以指定一個搜索半徑為尋找演唱會在其他城市近你的。

If you’re not into this type of desktop program, you can check out two web based music services:如果您還沒有到這種類型的桌面程序,您就可以檢查出兩個基於Web的音樂服務:

1. 1 。 Last.fm Events last.fm事件 - You can find local music events in your area via city, artist, festival, or venue. -您可以在這裡找到當地的音樂文化活動的信息,經市,藝術家,藝術節,或場地。 They have a very large database and most bands are listed.他們有一個非常大的數據庫和最帶上市。

2. 2 。 SonicLiving sonicliving - This site might be slightly better than Last.fm when it comes to finding out when your favorite bands are playing. -本網站可能會略好於l ast.fm當談到找出來的時候,你最喜歡的樂隊是公平的。 Another cool feature of SonicLiving is the fact that you can scan your Last.fm account and find upcoming shows.另一種涼爽的特點sonicliving的一個事實是,你可以掃描你的last.fm帳戶,並找到即將到來的表演。

So with or without iTunes, you should now be able to find any local music event for your favorite bands easily!所以無論有沒有iTunes的,你現在應該能夠找到任何本地音樂盛事,為您最喜愛的樂隊容易! Enjoy!享受! Any other service you know, post a comment!任何其他服務,你也知道,張貼一條評論!
