MyPlay’s services never caught on?!
At its height, MyPlay had a user base of over 6.5 million subscribers and was sold for around USD$30 million.
To date, its still the closest thing there was to a celestial jukebox and before cloud was a buzz word.

But it’s not the same physical file that “belongs” to the user. I know it sounds silly, but technically, BlueTune doesn’t have the right to grant users access to songs (physical files) that originated from anything other than the ones that originated from the user. They can’t just verify and distribute.

Linking to other people’s file is a problem for which they will be sued if they become any big. In order to stay at least in grey - they need to make users upload their own music.

As far as streaming your own music collection goes, I can’t recommend http://jukefly.com highly enough. No uploading required.

But the user has a license. The uploader has determined the audio fingerprint of the file to be the same as one already on the server.

Which reminds me of a business opportunity. Buy up old copies of recorded music: records, tapes, CDs it doesn’t matter. Store them in the cheapest physical storage facility you can. Then resell the licenses for that music to people over the web. If users want to physically own the item, you can ship it to them. Otherwise, you just get access to the music digitally.

Would be good to get Michael’s perspective on BlueTunes.

Mp3Tunes just launched Load2Mobile which looks very cool.

I’ll have to give BlueTunes a try, how fast is it really uploading songs, or is it really uploading?

Speaking of http://www.mediamaster.com
They are doing exactly the same thing as mp3tunes.com and have not been sued. So there is room to grow until you become big enough to be sued. Also, mp3tunes.com was an easier target because of Robertson’s prior history.
