Upload your MP3 collection to the cloud, listen to everyone else’s with TunesBag
TunesBag has just opened its doors for a public beta. The idea is simple, but the execution is delightfully loophole-icious. Upload your music to the cloud — as in, music that you legally own — and then play it from anywhere in the world, as long as you’re connected to the ‘Net. You can also play everyone else’s music. . . cool!
It seems music-in-the-cloud is all the rage at the moment. I don’t know why, considering almost everyone has at least a gigabyte of storage on their cellular phone nowadays. But it’s not the cloud-surfing thing that has people excited about tunesBag, though. It’s the social-networky-hacky-YouTube layer on top that’s got everyone dribbling.
Once you upload your music, you can send links to friends. If they are allowed to stream that song (i.e. tunesBag has the licensing), they can listen to it — the original file. If they don’t have permission, tunesBag scrapes the soundtrack from YouTube, but doesn’t show you the video or the ads. Sneaky sneaky!
You can’t really see the service, as it is now, surviving very long — especially now that the public beta is here. But you might as well make the most of it while you can.
