Here’s something to keep you busy over the weekend: The Ghostly Discovery App for iPhone. The free app allows you to create streaming playlists from the Ghostly catalogue by choosing a “mood” via a spectrum color wheel and a “style” via fader-like sliders. It’s sort of like Pandora but instead of picking a specific artist, you use the mood and style of the music you’re looking for as a starting point. And of course, you can find some Tycho stuff in there too. Check it out here
Update: Sorry, but as many of you pointed out in the comments, the app is not yet available internationally. Ghostly is working out the international licensing issues and it should be out soon. You can sign up to be notified when it is available by entering your email at the bottom of this page.
unfortunately it’s only available in the american iTunes store. can’t get it in my austrian iTunes-store. bummer!
Boo! Hiss! Not available in UK either!
Gutted!
Any chance of that changing any time soon, can’t get it with my UK based account. 🙁
pity its only available in the US
Same problem on the french and on the australian stores.. 🙁 That’s a shame.
the app is now available in the uk!
scrub that it was coming up in the list but you cant download it
Genius!
But not for the UK…..
We hear everyone loud and clear on the international release of the app. This is something we wanted to do, but due to international licensing and publishing laws, it’s taking a little longer than expected. It is on the horizon, but unfortunately I don’t have a timeline that I can give you at this time.
gah! this is disgustingly cool, too bad i went the android route, iphone apps are always so hot. 🙁
I am loving this! nice background mix playing on my new bose speaker i got for my birthday!
New Favorite App!
Really love this app. Sorry to those who can’t get it!
I’m the last of a dying breed: I’ve never owned a cell phone. You’re gonna have to drag me kicking & screaming into the future.
If you are international and want to be notified of launch, go to the bottom of our home page and sign up to get an email when we’re up. Sorry for the delays, pesky international streaming laws all up in our grill :-/ http://ghostly.com/discovery
you can create a US account using a US voucher (eBay).
This app works in the UK 😉
Can’t use it (outside of USA), but seems similar to this: http://www.musicovery.com
quality. thanks for sharing.
Great app! I bet more mp3 players and software will start using this way of finding music.
I absolutely adore this app.
can we get a web version of this please!! haha
for the g1?
one can dream of better apps….
This thing is awesome. Digital/analog control is a great idea. I punched in Laid back/introspective, a bit analog, medium speed and it gave me 5 tracks I’ve never heard that I love. Pretty good marketing tool…
So what mood is Tycho listed under?
So is this app. ever going to be released on other playforms? Blackberry, G1, and the increasingly popular Android platform?
