I'm looking for a neat side project idea, preferably something to do with geolocation and audio. I had an idea of showing a graph with people in your area that are listening to the same radio channel as you are, but Pandora doesn't have an open API and I'm too cheap to pay for IHeartRadio.<p>Any ideas?
Something that immediately springs to mind would be guided tours. EG walking round, say, Pompeii/Arlington Cemetery/The Pyramids and having audio notes/lectures appear on the spot you are standing at.<p>Maybe a framework that lets people implement that as a service/app for their particular site?
If you're interested in location and music, you should talk to Joey Flores
of EarBits.com fame (YC funded). A concept might be shows or events
happening soon in your general location, and a taste of the music from
the given musicians.
just spitballing here? How about mashing up NPR story locations, so people can see recent NPR stories about events in their area?<p>alternatively, if you can find an accurate source of data on where FM and AM radio reach, and genre's they play, you could do a mashup with mapping software, so people going on long trips can put in types of music they like and know when and what to switch the radio to.<p>or create some sort of plugin for shoutcast that allows shoutcast broadcasters to have a map of where their listeners are and interesting related geo analytics.
