This week, it&#8217;s the turn of Hype Machine, an app that helps you find new music without having to spend hours searching the web.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>What is it?<\/h4>\n<p>Hype Machine compiles the most-talked about music on the web by monitoring over 800 blogs and delivers it to you in easy-to-search chunks. You can listen to tracks in the app and see what your friends have been checking out too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Why is it surprisingly easy?<\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019re exposed to more music online than it\u2019s physically possible to comprehend; if you tried to listen to every new track that every band posts online, you\u2019d never have time to do anything else!<\/p>\n<p>Even trawling through the 800 blogs Hype Machine uses would take up most of your time, so it\u2019s extremely handy having a quick at-a-glance view of the latest bands and best new music.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>The best bit<\/h4>\n<p>The \u201d\u02dcmost popular tracks of the day\u2019 is a useful way of cutting through the still-substantial amount of music Hype Machine posts. If your friends use the app too, the social features are a good way of sharing your favourite new music (rather than telling your friends at the pub and them forgetting after a couple of pints).<\/p>\n<p>Plus, you can impress everyone with your intimate knowledge of the latest music. You might even be able to wing yourself a job on the radio!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>The downside<\/h4>\n<p>There is still a lot of music to check out, although Hype Machine does its best to help you find the tune you\u2019re most likely to be interested in.<\/p>\n<p>A quick look at the reviews suggests that some users have been experiencing playback issues too, although this wasn\u2019t a problem during our tests.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/hype-machine\/id414315986?mt=8\">Download Hype Machine on iOS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.hypem.android\">Download Hype Machine on Android<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Which apps have made your life surprisingly easy?
