Posted in Geek Stuff, Music on January 31st, 2007 No Comments »
I love finding cool new helper apps. iConcertCal works directly with iTunes. It searches your music database and cross references it with concert calendars on the web like JamBase.com (among many others). Once installed, you can view upcoming shows for artists in your database.
