MP3Tunes – Your Music Everywhere
I’ve been thinking about changing how I listen to my music for a while now…I’ve also been thinking that I should really backup the mass amount of music I own, having lost it all before due to hard drive deaths! (It’s a pain re-ripping lots of CDs.)
I heard about mp3tunes about a year ago and decided recently to give it a go.
For 40 US dollars per year you get an online ‘locker’ where you can store and play an unlimited amount of music. You simply use the Oboe Sync software to sync the music on your computer with your locker and hey presto, your entire music collection is stored online!
From here you can listen to your music via the player/browser in your account on the mp3tunes website on any internet connected computer!
Whatsmore, you can download a little plugin that makes your locker appear as a shared music library in iTunes (or winamp) so you can listen to your music online through iTunes!
So far I’ve been really pleased with the service, I’m listening to my music all day long while I work on my laptop over a 2MB broadband connection and it works a treat!
I can access all my music anywhere there’s an internet connection and should I have a hard drive problem, everything is backed up online!

On Sunday Evening…
We just had a very pleasant Sunday evening, unexpected guests, which made for great company, great food and a great evening in general. It’s always nice when unplanned things happen and turn out so good.
I’m *really* looking forward to this Christmas. More so than the last couple which, for one reason or another I wasn’t too bothered about.
Hopefully there’ll be plenty more enjoyable evenings to be had in the coming month or so!
