With a couple of App Store successes—like Ocarina and I am T-Pain—under their belt, Smule has partnered with FOX to unite Gleeks around the world with the new Glee app for iPhone and iPad. A melding of Rock Band style karaoke and auto tune technology, Glee (the app) lets users sing along in the vocal stylings of Glee (the TV show), share their songs and listen to the songs created by other users.
Glee features the ability to record your voice as you sing along to popular tunes (as performed on episodes of Glee of course) and save and share them with friends or other Glee users. With effects like pitch correction and harmony, the results are more impressive, especially for those who have a bit less natural talent. The best part is the global grid that lets users listen to and comment on others’ recordings.
As hugely popular as FOX’s Glee series has become, it’s no wonder Glee is sitting pretty in the top 10 in the App Store after barely a month. But some credit has to be given to the style and design of the app as well. Amateur and closet musicians and vocalists are clambering after simple musical apps that let them create, record and share music and Glee couldn’t be simpler.(…)

A newbie in the long and growing list of music apps, Groove lets you take your music library for a new spin by providing a quick and easy way to listen to your songs. Groove was designed to help users “rediscover” their music library and it accomplishes this by being organized, intuitive, and bit more than “genius.”
Groove’s options are simple. Choose Feelin’ Groovy to get a mix of songs that go well together based on a song chosen at random from your library, or choose Surprise Me for a randomly generated mix, artist, or album. Users can also choose Favorites to access a mix of frequently listened to songs and Three of a Kind plays up to five sets of three songs by the same artists.
Each of the music mixes generated by Groove contains up to 15 songs. If you aren’t as pleased with the mix as you’d hoped, simply tap “refresh” within the featured list and a new one is automatically generated. (…)
