NPR Music Launches New iPad App (With A Little Help From The Shins)

Our new NPR Music iPad app is out, and it's a beauty. It's the perfect way to watch our Tiny Desk Concerts, read original reporting and commentary, and listen to brand new albums, the All Songs Considered 24/7 music channel or our station streams.

To celebrate, NPR Music will present live streaming audio and video of an exclusive in-app concert on March 7 with The Shins, performing songs from their anticipated new record Port of Morrow. (Fans of the band in New York City should be on the lookout for an opportunity to attend this show.)

Our own NPR team built this app, and we're proud of it. I think it shows off the flood of amazing stories about music that makes its way to our site from our member stations and our staff.
One cool feature allows you to filter by content type (read articles, watch videos, listen to programs) or genre (rock, jazz, classical, folk, hip-hop/R&B, world or electronic/dance). You can build a playlist by dragging and dropping, and then save it for offline listening. You can listen while running other apps on your IPAD 4 CASE  or send it over Wi-Fi to your home stereo. And if you don't know where to start, a special feature in the playlist will suggest NPR Music features based on the artists already in your iTunes library.

For non-iPad users, we are turning our attention to the mobile Web with the goal of making sure everyone can access our features on the go, no matter what device you own or system you operate.
NPR is not developing an Android app specifically for NPR Music.Because the Android universe is so diverse we thought the best way to serve all Android users would be to optimize all that we do on NPR music for mobile platforms in general. This approach would also help users of other smart phones as well. You can see that in our new browser-based live events platform. The Tiny Desk Concerts page is a good example of that. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DZJ2DZI made it possible to watch a live video stream and participate in a live chat at the same time and it works on mobile devices including Android and the desktop. So an Android app or Blackberry or a Windows apps is not in the cards for now, but making all that we do work on the devices that are popular is the goal. If you do own an Android you should know that some of our music coverage can be found in the NPR News app for the Android. thanksBob
