Rhapsody Concerts lets iOS users keep track of music tours, find shows nearby

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/06/rhapsodyconcets-1370899844-1370920823.jpgBack when SongMatch for Android was introduced to the public, Rhapsody said that its Shazam-esque offering was only the first of many “companion” apps to come. Today, as part of its plans to expand the suite of Rhapsody applications, the streaming service is now introducing Concerts. The moniker says it all, really: the new application is designed to be a hub where you can easily keep up with – you guessed it – *concerts *from music artists you’re into or even ones you’ve never heard of. Using a device’s location services, Concerts can quickly find gigs around your area and display useful info related to them, including things like an entire show lineup and the ability to buy tickets.
While Concerts isn’t limited to Rhapsody subscribers, those who pay the monthly fee do get a couple extra tidbits, such as music playback and track downloads from within the app. Currently, it’s only available for iOS, but Rhapsody did tell us that Android and Windows Phone 8 versions are “coming in the next few weeks.” For folks who *can *download right now, however, we have the App Store link below.Gallery: Rhapsody Concerts app
