There is something about a live music set that spruces up a musician’s catalog. The energy of a live crowd can bring a stale song to life again. If your music library is getting a bit predictable, LiveTunes is just the app you need.

LiveTunes is an iPhone music player which transforms any song, album, or playlist on your device into a live music experience. You can select from five venues ranging from a sold out stadium to a dive bar, each changing the sound of the crowd and the acoustics. While the music is playing you can even influence the roar of the crowd with a finger swipe up. LiveTunes seems to understand each song’s beat too. It knows when to stir up the crowd (usually at the beginning and end of the track). If you have created playlists on your iPhone, you can mix up artists too essentially creating your own custom concert lineup. So, rather than buying all the live albums of your favorite bands, give LiveTunes a try.

LiveTunes is just one of our favorite music apps for iPhone and iPad. We’ve collected all of our favorites here. And if you’d like to see more of our top app selections in different categories, just head on over to our Best Apps Series.
