Last Saturday at the Hack Italy in Milan hordes of Italian developers have gathered up and given 12 hours time to hack a group of web apps, namely Nokia OVI maps, Microsoft, Audiobox.fm, Play.me, Spreaker and Beintoo.
Our team with CTO Giovanni Cappellotto and friend Francesco Tartaggia (developer at H-Umus) built Thounds Map by hacking the OVI maps and Nokia just loved it so much they assigned us the first prize, a stunning N8 device.
Thounds Map does exactly what it’s in the name, it geolocalizes and streams music sketches on the atlas, and you can have a visual impact of where there is more music inspiration around you: Thounds Map:http://maps.thounds.com
Have you ever wanted to hack Thounds music?
Don’t miss the chance of being at the first Hack Italy event then, running in Milan on the 5th February 2011.
The event is sponsored by Microsoft, Nokia, Dada, 3Scale, Git Enterprise and Top-Ix and will give developers a unique opportunity to hack Italian apps in a 12h challenge.
The challenge:
A group of apps offer their API’s to deliver hacks and mashups (beside Thounds this will include Play.me, Microsoft, audiobox.fm, MusiXmatch, Spreaker, OVI Maps by Nokia, etc)
Ideas for your hack:
If you don’t know where to begin, we at Thounds would appreciate some of the following:
a map with geolocalization for Thounds tracks (i.e. mashup with Bing Maps or OVI maps)

Discover all the music on Thounds by just tuning in our new radio on http://thounds.fm!
Thounds radio is the first app since our public API release, it is a radio tuner with genre tags instead of frequencies, it’s never been easier to listen to original Hip Hop beats, Heavy Metal riffs, acoustic sessions and rock melodies.
Two months ago we browsed through the Entertainment category in the Facebook app gallery, and found too many apps so we restricted search by keyword “music” to a reasonable 200 matches.
Surprising how none of this lot was about composing and creating music at all, so we requested a few friends for a draft from our API, we’ve been submitted a great layout idea (thank you Luca) and then we’ve been busy developing until last weekend. YUIO is a simple sequencer and sampler, you will be able to record short sounds (or just use the default beats) to create boom box tunes to share.
We have just tested the Thounds app on iPhone OS 4.0 and it works like a charm.
Intall with confidence … ehrm, you will probably have to wait that OS goes public.
As of today, Thounds is also available as a SoundCloud app: by connecting your Thounds account to SoundCloud you will be able to export your recordings to the best music storage platform available today.
To connect your two accounts just visit your settings page on Thounds and click “Connect with SoundCloud” in the connections section:
Improvements with the new release:
- thound visibility settings (decide who can hear your recordings)
- share your thounds (or someone else’s) on twitter or send by email
- the metronome now starts before recording begins
- minor bug fixing
Please don’t forget to write a review on the iTunes store after download, your support will be much appreciated. Thanks.
