Create a great video but struggling with pairing it with the perfect music? YouTube Producer has come to the rescue! YouTube Producer offers tens of thousands of copyright free music that you can add to your videos before sharing to YouTube and not fear that it will be removed for containing copyrighted material.
Most of us have music libraries filled with copyrighted material and need an app like this to even add music to our movies that will be uploaded to YouTube. YouTube Producer has a great selection of music that can be sorted by genre, mood or tempo, but does have some limitations. Namely, the music you choose for your video must be placed in the background of the entire movie. Using it’s music for just your intro, for example, is not an option. You do have control over volume, however – either mix the music with the movie’s audio, or have only the new music.
This is not a full-blown video editor, so if that’s what you’re looking for, move along. YouTube Producer simply provides you with some music to add to the videos in your Camera Roll then upload to YouTube. Nothing more. Nothing less.
The YouTube Producer provides you with the perfect background music for your videos.

Behringer has built the world’s biggest and most powerful iPhone dock. The dock, which it has appropriately named iNuke stands at over eight feet wide, four feet tall and weighs in at a massive 700 pounds. The sound output from this beast is said to be around 10,000 watts.
The iNuke will unfortunately not be available for sale. It has been purpose built for Behringers stand at CES 2012 at a staggering cost of ,000. If you want to see it in the flesh, make sure you visit Behringers stand. If you just want to hear it, it probably won’t matter where you are; especially if it goes to 11.

Cloud-based music services are all the rage right now. These services store your music on the web (in “the cloud”) and allow you to stream songs to your computer or mobile device anywhere you have an Internet connection. While Amazon and Google were the first companies to release cloud players, Apple soon followed with its iCloud[1] offering and eMusic is expected to follow suit soon. Add to that the U.S. arrival of a European heavyweight–Spotify–and it’s a crowded space.
This chart will help you compare the competing services side by side to help you determine which one you want to use.

If your iPod playlist is sounding a bit stale, a good music app can be just the boost you need. There are plenty of free options — and we cover those in our list of the best free music apps[1] — but spending a bit more makes sense when you get nice-to-have features like pause/rewind and recording functionality.
TuneIn Radio (US.99) provides access to a jaw-dropping 40,000 radio stations, including talk radio, news, music, and sports. While there are plenty of free radio apps available, TuneIn Radio has some pretty nifty features. You can pause and rewind each radio station, record music, and stream songs via Apple’s AirPlay[3]. The interface is pretty plain, but TuneIn Radio has many features that set it apart from the competition.
Shazam Encore (US.99) is the paid counterpart to the free Shazam app[5], which identifies music after only hearing a few seconds. Just hold your iPhone up to the radio or stereo, and Shazam “tags” it by telling you the title and artist. Unlike the free app, Shazam Encore offers unlimited tagging and a variety of other features. Shazam Encore includes music recommendations, a driving mode, and — one of my favorite features — personalized Last.fm[6] or Pandora[7] stations using your tagged music.
There are few iPhone music apps that have received as much buzz over the years as Smule’s I Am T-Pain (US.99). This app consistently resides atop iTune’s music category thanks to its unique spin on creating your own music. The app includes dozens of T-Pain’s beats[9], so you can create your own songs by singing into the iPhone’s microphone (you can even make videos with the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4[10]). Once the song is auto-tuned, you can share your masterpiece via Facebook, Twitter or email. Some of the beats are available for free, but others cost an additional US.99 each.
Bloom (US.99) is a very “Zen” app that is part music creator and part meditation accompaniment — at least for me. You can create your own ambient music[12] that conforms to one of 12 moods, and when you get tired of creating, the Bloom app starts making its own compositions. It’s a good thing that Bloom has a sleep timer, because this is the perfect music app to put on when you want to relax. Not to mention that it was developed by Brian Eno[13], one of the pioneers of ambient music.
It’s not exactly cheap, but GuitarToolkit (US.99) is the music app to get if you play the guitar — or want to learn how. The beautiful interface is complemented by a huge chord library, a metronome with several settings, and a chord finder tool. The app also adapts to left-handed users. Even better, GuitarToolkit supports a wide range of instruments including bass, mandolin, banjo, guitar, and even ukulele[15]. GuitarToolkit is also a great tuner for your real guitar, as long as you’re using an OS device with a microphone.
Ministry of Sound[17] is a famous dance venue and record label, so it is a wise choice when you’re in the mood for trance, house, or drum and bass. Hundreds of dance stations are included for every dance genre, in addition to sets by famous DJs. Twitter[18] integration is another plus. I am kind of disappointed that the interface isn’t more streamlined, but the music makes up for that small downside.
