It’s been almost a year since the official iOS client of popular music event discovery service, Songkick, was released in the iTunes App Store. If you’re an Android user, you’ll be delighted to know that the app is now available in the Google Play Store. Not only is the Android variant of Songkick Concerts much better and polished than its iOS counterpart in terms of looks, but is also equipped with several additional features. The app has the capacity to scan your local music library, Google Play Music, Pandora, Facebook and last.fm accounts to gauge your personal music taste. Based on its findings, it then presents you with a personalized calendar, depicting upcoming concerts of your favorite artists by location. In addition, the app brings plenty of customizations and user-friendly features that can keep you from resorting to multiple event tracking websites and subscription services for getting timely alerts about live performances of your favorite bands in town.

Chrome is a web browser (and sometimes it tries to be an operating system), and while its speed and clean interface is what comes to mind when you ask what makes it so good but there are more features to it that developers love taking advantage of like the built-in desktop notifications. There are a ton of extensions available that will notify if you have new email in Gmail, if you a new song is played on Pandora or if one of your Google contacts signs in. Now Playing Pop-up For YouTube is a tiny but handy extension for Google Chrome that notifies you every time a new song on YouTube is changed. The title of the song, along with the artist’s name, is displayed as a desktop notification. So, whenever you're listening to a playlist or channel and working online at the same time, you will be able to view the song and artist’s name in a pop-up. The nice thing is that the notifications are displayed even when you're visiting a different site or the Chrome window is minimized. With it, you can always keep track of the songs that you're listening to, and if you don’t really like a song, you can quickly change it by looking at the title instead of waiting for it to start.
