== DESCRIPTION:

Create a personalized concert calendar and host it on your own server for subscription.

First, this app parses your iTunes Music Library and retrieves a list of your artists. Second, it retrieves a list of local concerts in your area using your ZIP code. Third, it recommends the concerts you should attend by finding any concerts that include an artist found in your iTunes library. These recommended concerts are converted to iCal format and written to an .ics file. Lastly, the app uploads the .ics file to a server of your choice via FTP.

Once hosted, you can subscribe to your personalized concert calendar using any modern calendar application.

Rock on!
