This is an interesting experiment by Tunepal developer and Tradconnect member  Dr Bryan Duggan and  Dr Norman Makoto Su from Dublin Institute of Technology.  If you ever wondered what tunes are actually played at sessions then this may just solve it.  It "is a system developed to track the oral transmission of tunes in Irish traditional music. It is a piece of software that will keep a record of the tunes’ names played in a session. TuneTracker will run continuously in a session to discern the changing repertoire of a session. The tunes that are played in a session, along with useful statistics (e.g., most popular tunes in a session) will be posted on a website to be announced once the experiment is complete."

For now it is tracking the tunes played in the Cobblestone Pub in Dublin. " The idea is to “unveil” the process of oral tradition and make it a publicly visible phenomenon. For a more academic discussion of the philosophical underpinnings of TuneTracker, see this paper.  The developers state that "Perhaps the most daunting task for anyone starting in traditional sessions is the sheer number of tunes everyone seems to know by heart. By making the tunes played in a session explicit, amateurs can intelligently practice certain (e.g., most popular) tunes in a session. We also feel that professionals will gain by seeing an explicit record of the tunes being played. They might consider the repertoire of their session, adjust the tunes they play, or be able to recommend their session to others. For more information visit www.normsu.com/tunetracker/
