Digital Matchmaking for Music
A very clever application for linking your music library to upcoming concert appearances is available from Passalong Networks. OnTour provides a way for you to find local concerts featuring your
favorite artists, to purchase music by these artists, and to buy tickets to these concerts. OnTour scans the digital music files already on your computer and generates concert listings by matching artist names to upcoming concerts in the your area (U.S.). Artists with upcoming shows in the area are listed. Click on a link and details appear with concert dates. Buttons that link with Mapquest, the venue schedule and Ticketmaster are at the bottom of the window. Choose "Recommended Artist" from the drop-down list and the application compares your artist list with data gathered from thousands of other music lovers to make recommendations. OnTour also allows you to scan by concert hall, to see which artists are scheduled to play at your favorite venue. Additionally, OnTour allows you to manually add artists to track and can display ‘all artists’ for your city. This application will ensure you ‘never miss a concert again’.
Absolutely amazing. I’m sure they are collecting all the artist on my machine while giving me the information, but I’m ok with this. Would be even better if they started getting data somehow from smaller venues and such since I listen to so many indie artist. A huge and cool first step in the right direction.
