Nice side project. Your investment in the coding really shows off.

In case you did not see Dan Grover's response about the work breakdown on his Etude sheet music iPhone app:

"Were you the only one developing it? How long did it take? Love the app and the video on the webpage, by the way."

"Luckily, I have a precise answer to this because I have this weird habit of tracking every minute of my time on my own projects. Here's the breakdown on Etude in hh:mm

Actual iPhone app: 210:11

Song converter: 72:52

Store (UI + server side): 82:23

Building site and designing marketing materials: 44:52

I did most of the work, but I did contract some of the graphics I had trouble with to a designer, and I've taken someone awesome on board to work with music companies and other "strategic" stuff for the future."
