The most common feature request we’ve had is for a Songkicker for Mac.
We’ve now got one! Just like the Windows Songkicker it takes about 3 minutes to scan your iTunes library and from then onwards will let you know if any of the artists you listen to are playing shows in your area. Most people find at least 10 shows they didn’t realise were happening when they first use it.
You can get it at www.songkick.com/download
Let us know how it works for you.

Michael Troiano added these pithy words on Mar 29 08 at 3:24 pmDoesn’t work guys. Starts when I start iTunes, stalls every time. How do I uninstall?
Cale Honneysett added these pithy words on Jun 15 08 at 3:16 pmIt doesn’t work. How do I uninstall it? I can’t play a song on my iTunes, it keeps on shutting down unexpectedly.
david added these pithy words on Jun 18 08 at 7:23 pmHow do I uninstall this? I can’t find it in my apps folder, or locate it anywhere.
Brendan added these pithy words on Jun 29 08 at 4:53 pmSeriously, won’t work. It is annoying as hell because it keeps asking to scan my library, but fails half-way through. I also want to know how to uninstall.
Ethan Bauley added these pithy words on Aug 03 08 at 12:59 amHey ya’ll, you can uninstall the Songkicker by following these directions from iLike, except the file is called something like “Songkicker.bundle” (that’s for Mac, there’s also Windows instructions there)
Temple10 added these pithy words on Aug 22 08 at 8:01 pmHm… Where can you see a list of the artists that have been uploaded? The list of “my artists” that Songkick found are not in my library.
michelle added these pithy words on Aug 26 08 at 8:12 pmIf you sign into your user dashboard and click on “Tour Tracker”, you should be able to see the artists that have been uploaded from your library. If you email support AT songkick DOT com, we can give you more detailed help.
sfs added these pithy words on Sep 28 08 at 2:42 pmYou’ve sent me an update for a concert I’d like to see, but once again, sent it at the last minute. Yes, I’d like to see Nick Cave, but this show is next weekend! I might be able to get tickets, but at this point I’ve made other plans, and if I wanted to go and there weren’t tickets, I’d have to purchase them from a scalper or “reseller” at exorbitant prices.
This service isn’t useful if you don’t alert people in time to buy reasonably priced tickets to the shows, unless Songkicker has a deal with some ticket reseller, in which case I want nothing to do with it.
Seriously, get it together or tell me how to unsubscribe. I can find out which shows are playing locally from a blog. If you want to give people a service that they wouldn’t be able to get otherwise, you have to offer quality. Also, stop sending me updates for bands I don’t like and don’t have on my Itunes list.
michelle added these pithy words on Oct 06 08 at 5:31 pmsfs, thanks for letting us know we let you down. We’re really obsessed with getting comprehensive concert listings. We’ve built web crawlers that go out onto ticket vendor websites to create our database, but sometimes there are holes in our information, and we get better and better because people like you point out where we’re failing. If you tell me which show was missing, I’ll investigate why we didn’t get the primary inventory first. Feel free to email me at support AT songkick DOT com. I’d like to figure out which bands you’re erroneously getting alerts for too!
michelle added these pithy words on Oct 06 08 at 5:34 pmOh! And I wanted to let you know we don’t have a preferential deal with a ticket reseller! We’re just as adamant as you about getting reasonably priced tickets before they sell out.
