Although lots of professional musicians can tune a guitar with ease, for those less talented among us it can be a chore, which is where the Guitar Tuner app comes in. This app can detect pitch, and inform you whether your guitar is too low or too high, making it easy to adjust and tune your device.

It can be infuriating when you hear songs you recognise but don't remember the names of - especially if you want to buy them. Shazam comes in handy for this, identifying music. It also comes with Twitter, Facebook and Car Mode compatability built-in.

As the name suggests, Nailler9 is a music blog, focusing on popular Irish music. Eclectic, certainly, but a must-have for fans of Irish music. The app brings the blog to your Nokia's compact screen, simplifying the layout and making the images smaller, making it easier than ever to read.

Another free app from this week's selection, Absolute Radio Player (Touch) does exactly what it says on the tin, letting you listen to Absolute radio on your Nokia. You'll have access to Absolute Radio UK, Absolute Classic Rock and Absolute 80s, and because you'll be streaming music over the internet, poor quality sound should be a thing of the past.
