12. iConcertCal

Pissed that you totally missed the Jonas Brothers show last week? Dying to know if there will be enough time between an upcoming Ray LaMontagne album and your sweetie's birthday to memorize every saccharine-coated line? Wondering why you're still reading this? Well, there's hope for you yet...

iConcertCal is a free, downloadable plug-in that works through iTunes. It shows a calendar of all upcoming performances of every artist in your iTunes library within any radius of your city. It even gives links to purchase tickets! Booyah!

Another, often overlooked feature is the album release notification. All upcoming albums by the artists in your library are shown on the calendar, and can be prompted to alert you when their songs are played.

Both of these features are great when you don't have the time or attention span to dig through the entertainment section of the paper for kick-ass music to catch. It's free, very helpful, and super easy to use. Enjoy the show.
