Abstract

BluetunA is an application running on Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones that allows users to share information about their favourite music. With BluetunA people can select a list of favourite artists or songs and see who else in proximity share their taste in music, or they can search whom nearby has selected specific artists, and check out what other preferences in terms of music these people have. Moreover, BluetunA users can exchange messages with each other over Bluetooth, connect to the Internet to download their profile and obtain music recommendations from Last. fm website. To enrich this experience, people can interact with each other through their mobile phones while sitting in cafes by accessing the BluetunA hotspots and a wider range of music sharing options.
