It happens to all of us. You go to your friend’s room to hang out and realize that he has all these songs that you have been meaning to download. You tell yourself that you are going to go home and download them, but when you get there, you cannot remember the names of the songs.

Three Binghamton University students have developed a program to solve your problems. Tuneticker was created by BU sophomores David Fox, Keith Martin and Leandro Neves. It is a social networking music program that allows you to see what your friends are listening to.

“We wanted a simple way to discover new songs,” Fox said.

Fox said the idea initially came about six months ago, though there have been many changes to the program.

The original idea did not include commenting and friend interaction, but they quickly realized the importance of those two features once they started testing the program.

A lot of hours were spent creating the program, and the creators continue to work on problems and ways to improve.

“It’s like having a full-time job,” Neves said.

As of March 9, the program was officially launched. The Tuneticker creators have made it easy for anyone to start “Tuneticking.”

All you have to do is go to www.tuneticker.com and download the program. It requires you to download Adobe AIR, which takes less than a minute. Then, you create an account, it’s as simple as that. You can instantly view the last 30 songs added or played by your friends.

To get a more thorough explanation of every step, read the “Welcome to Tuneticker” page on the Web site.

Tuneticker was invented so that people could find their friends quickly. The creators are currently working on adding a feature that will allow users to join networks, making it easier to find friends.

The program gives users three options: “T” to “tick” a song you liked, “Y” to watch a YouTube video of the song and “D” to download the song via iTunes or Amazon. It also has various settings under the Tools tab if users want to hide certain songs they listen to or make their profiles private.

“Finding music should never require hard work, and up until now, it was a chore,” Martin said.
