One Llama Media has launched a version of its music search site for iPhone. It basically lets you tap in a band and/or song name, and be taken straight to the relevant YouTube video, as well as find similar clips.
“We have built this exciting application by integrating the One Llama music search technology with YouTube and Apple’s iPhone using their published, open APIs,” says One Llama’s director of product development Amit Sudharshan. “We have mapped our music database of over 1.4 million tracks to online music videos. Now users can not only discover new music, but also where available watch the full length video.”
The web app works well, but I’m not entirely sure why you’d use it instead of just firing up the YouTube app on your iPhone and searching for the music videos that way. Perhaps it’ll become clear over time as more features are added to the One Llama site.
The reason why you would use this application over going straight to Youtube is the fact that you have multiple songs to chose from, not just one. Additionally, if you want to find similar music to a particular song or artist this allows you to do that as well while also providing music videos. I have tried the application and have been extremely impressed with the results!
