Older Music Apps / Games for iPods

Posted by on in Tech

I’m still quite surprised that Apple still sell the iPod Classic. I’m sure that there’s still a market for them, but, like many people I thought that Apple would discontinue them. Apple did dabble for a little while with a form of ‘apps’ for the iPod, although these were just games really and there were never a huge number of them either.

Of the ones there were a handful were music games, and I think I bought most of these whilst they were available. So I decided to go back and play some of these to see if they were any good, as I never really got into gaming. So expect a few pictures and write ups of music based games from a few years ago.

App revisit: Surface DJ

Another early iOS app that didn’t get maintained and just fell by the wayside. It was a shame really as it had potential and others have built on the concepts. It would have been great if it allowed you to bring your own samples in, but it was around before that functionality was available in iOS. Never mind, a nice use of the device in it’s day.

I was going to delete this little drum machine but decided to give it a quick play first, and I really liked it, so it stays on the music 3G for now, along with the other 300 odd music apps on there, which is almost certainly too many!

This noise maker appealed to me because it looked so much like a mute synth. So I had to get it really, and it’s quite good fun though limited really. Perhaps I just need to give it a little more time.
