Using Snaptune One
Once Snaptune has found some new songs for you, select the tab at the top of the application labeled
Songs and click on one of those songs. It should begin playing over your speakers and you should see
something like the picture below.
Well, you might not have 2871 songs right away, not unless you’ve been on vacation for a very long
time! It will take several weeks to get that many. But you should have a few songs by now. If you
don’t have at least a few songs, check that Snaptune is still recording, and make sure your PC or radio
wasn’t turned off by someone while you were away.
The Songs view is one of two ways to explore the songs found by Snaptune One. The other page is the
Playlists view described in more detail later. In the Songs view you should find music that matches
your tastes (assuming you actually like the radio station you picked earlier).
If you’re using a PC-based FM tuner, this is music that local DJs think you’d like to hear. Unlike any on-
line music store, Snaptune guides you to music that has a local flavor. Often the next great band is just
around the corner (well, at least in Seattle that’s the case) and Snaptune will help you discover it. Even if
that local band only gets airplay once a week between 2AM-3AM Snaptune will still find it for you.

the-same. In our experience such ‘bots’ never suggest radically new music that you hear and go,
“Wow,
I like that! It’s totally different from anything in my current CD collection.” With Snaptune you’ll soon
find yourself saying that a lot.
Unlike any on-line music store or other recommendation engine, Snaptune helps you experience new
music even before it’s available on CD. If it’s a song you like, you’ll probably want to buy the CD or the
song when it comes out. But for now you’ll just have to wait.
Snaptune can also find several different versions of the same song playing on the radio. So, if you are
the number one fan for a particular band and you have all their CDs, you’ll probably want to listen to the
