10 iPhone Apps for Music LoversBy Jeana Lee TahnkWhen you think back to the special moments in your life, it’s likely that there's a song attached to each one: Your first dance at your wedding, the lullaby you played every night when you were putting your newborn to bed, the song that was playing in the car when you broke up with your first love. Any time you hear that song, you are whisked right back to the emotions you felt at that particular time, and its connection has been imprinted in your memory. That’s the power of music.The technology available to us to make music an integral part of our lives is staggering, and luckily, it just keeps getting better. Whether you like to rock out on your iPod or you are still sporting a portable CD player (do those still exist?), music and its ability to transform moods is one thing that connects us all.Everyone knows about Pandora, Last.fm and Spotify, but the following 10 apps, which have mostly flown under the radar, deserve props for making it easier for us to enjoy the music we love.1. Audiogalaxy Mobile

If this sounds familiar and you are constantly picking and choosing which tunes to store and play on your  iPhone, then Audiogalaxy may be the answer for you.This app gives you cloud-based access to your entire music library without the need for syncing your phone or worrying about space. After downloading the Audiogalaxy helper program and syncing your music library to your account, you are all set to stream your music to your iPhone.

Cost: Free2.  sir Sampleton At first glance, this app appears to be a simple keyboard that you’d let your kid play around with as you wait in line at the grocery store. But on closer inspection, sir Sampleton is actually a sophisticated and feature-rich app that lets you do everything from recording or changing sounds to mixing beats, adding vibrato, and even saving recordings. It’s a fun way for both novices and more seasoned beat masters to get their groove on. Cost: $2.993.  ooTunes Radio If you want to mix up your radio station listening experience and you crave a huge variety of genres and styles, including talk radio, ooTunes Radio is a great app for limitless listening pleasure.

This fun app features 20 songs; all you have to do is pick which one you want and email it.

This fun app can actually recognize a user humming or singing a tune and will pull up all the relevant matches it finds. And it really works — SoundHound was even able to recognize and identify a hum from my friend, who we’ll just say, has less than perfect pitch.A free, lite version is available as well with unlimited music IDs, but the paid version features ad-free content and new features such as Wikipedia-based information on artists and bands.
