ShortList Music is a music application for creating "Best of" Album Lists. Like many music websites and blogs, at the end of each year, I compile a list of my favorite albums of the year and share them with my friends. Before I created this app, I had to use a text editor to keep track of my yearly lists. Now, ShortListMusic allows the user to compile their favorite albums of the past year and allows the list to be published or shared through email and social media. The app will also keep track and save "Best of" lists from previous years. The app is currently using the iTunes Search API to retrieve album releases. Thanks and enjoy.
