Brilliant for understanding the film score
I love the music of the films and have Doug Adam’s book. But I find it difficult to identify all the themes and variations when listening to the score. This app (and the desktop version) have helped me really hear Howard Shore’s interpretation of Lord of the Rings for the first time.
This is what I have wanted for a long time
Great app
Keeping the soundtrack in this app for free would be copyright
All the low reviews for this app are from people who thought it would come with the LOTR soundtrack. That makes no sense, and the app would be taken down in months for massive copyright infringement.
This app is exactly what I have been looking for. The sheer volume of organized themes is extremely impressive, and helps me study and understand the techniques Howard Shore used.
I had been looking for maybe an Internet article that listed all the different themes, but this is even better; an app that links to your itunes and classifies and organizes all 80+ themes that represent different people, ideas, cultures and locations in Middle-Earth.
One of the best things about this trilogy is the music, and the app lets me access and view all of it in a new lens. So stop acting like you expected the app to come with all of the Lord of the Rings music for free.

Cool, useful little app
This is a pretty useful little app for Lord of the Rings nerds, particularly for identifying where specific leitmotifs are located within Shore’s extensive scores. This must must have been painstaking work for the developer, so kudos. Added functionality of linking up to the soundtracks if you have them in your music library. Great app.

Waste of time
I probably should have read the description first but this app contains NO MUSIC.
