They always say that shoemakers kids are always barefoot , lol … I spend so much time developing , and troubleshooting other peoples websites that I seldom have time to work on my own !!!

So , as most of you know , I am like the Dominican Clark Kent clark kent ( not because of the glasses I wear either lol) . By day I am a tech geek , and by night I am a DJ. My original site was designed in HTML5 , and used J-query , but I still wasn't happy with the end result. I decide to go a different route , and this was the end result.  You can visit the site by clicking sounds.christianmartell.com

Last.FM Android App

Written by on December 30, 2010 in Android, music, smartphone - No comments

 

I was a heavy Imeem user , but then out of nowhere Myspace bought them out , and that was the end of Imeem .  Imeem is now a part of Myspace music. So now , I replaced my need for music through Last.Fm. If you haven't checked the site out already , I really recommend checking it out.

Anyways , being on the go , whether its off to meet a client , or running my daily errands, I always keep my music handy within reach. Enter the Last.Fm app for android. ( you can download it easily by typing in Last.Fm in your market window on your android powered device and download it free of charge) or by using a qr reader such as Google Googles and direct it here

 

The app allows you to synch the music you love and create playlists that youcan save , and access from anywhere. It's like having a personal Dj in your pocket.  Of course , the app is also available for the Iphone ( maybe I'll get Chango-Bi to test it on the Iphone for me ( she dumped her Android Phone and Got an Iphone , boooo lol )

 

 

You can listen to music from : Your Library

This is music that you have either on your computer ( using the last.fm scrobbler program) or music that is saved on your android iphone device.

 

Your Loved Tracks

This is music that you have listened to and Loved( thats what the heart is for , see image above )

 

Recommended By Last.FM

This is music that Last.FM plays randomly based on the type of genre you listen to .

 

Your Neighborhood

This is music from other last.FM users that have similar taste in music , further expanding the music that you can add to your own personal playlist. ( love this feature)

 


The app itself is great , but when you combine it with the Last.FM scrobbler. it is sheer awesomeness lol. Check it out for yourself , I promise you'll love it , lol . ( that is of course , unless Last.fm gos the way of Imeem and sells out , :P

I just found out that the website Dirpy.com is now out of commission. You can read more about Dirpy here.

This is what Dirpy.com had to say:

Dirpy Website Discontinued


Fear not , there are some other alternatives that will allow you to do the same:

 

ZAMZAR

This online utility allows you to upload your own files and convert them , or you can choose a youtube url , and choose whether you want to save the fle as an .flv or as a regular audio mp3 file.

 

Online Converter

This online utility is very robust and offers alot more features than Zamzar.

 

REAL

This is not an online utility , but instead a download. With this installed on your computer , you are able to download any video from youtube, metacafe , etc and download them directly from the screen.

 

This is not an all inclusive list , there are a multitude of online converters out there. Which online converters do you ue ?

Chris Yemaya Latin Mix

 

Yes, I just recently redesigned the website , and if you haven't noticed by now , the music section is no longer here. I restructured everything to simplify the user experience ..I did not get rid of the music , just moved things around abt.  If you click on the "Sounds" tab in the navigation bar ,magical elves will take you to the "Sounds" portion of the website. I am a musician first and foremost and wanted to dedicate a separate part of the site to it .

 

You can listen to some of my new mixes , as well as mashups and more ….

If you have an upcoming event , birthday party , baby shower, quinceanera, or just need a DJ , drop me a line

Anyways, here is my latest Mix … Nothing but Bachata, Merengue y Salsa !!!
