It is useful if you have a sync music collection between different Macs and when you edit something on one computer, it would be showed on others (like correct the name of the song, etc.) And i would really want to save my star rating in my Itunes, i have lost them once due to harddrive failure, :( I rated that collection for years (fortunately, my songs were backed up but not meta data). So this app could do it, i would give it a try Well, i am looking for an app which could sync my meta data.

"MP3tunes" sounds like spyware for your PC and "music locker" sounds like something from High School gym class. They should consider giving their service a clean "web 2.0" name (even if they've been around lonegr than that which is probably why they are the way they are), changing "mp3 locker" to something hinting at cloud storage, as well as getting a more modern UI similiar to dropbox or zumodrive. I'm sure the service is great, though. MP3tunes looks cool but I think it will ultimately fail (or atleast not be the market leader) because of it’s horrendously generic name.

They should consider giving their service a clean “web 2.0″ name (even if they’ve been around lonegr than that which is probably why they are the way they are), changing “mp3 locker” to something hinting at cloud storage, as well as getting a more modern UI similiar to dropbox or zumodrive.

I’m sure the service is great, though.

So you basically do what others have already done on the web... Ok so you have an iPhone app. You can thank Apple for your product not already being done. As I understand it when approached by a website that has already done what you are doing they were highly discouraged and basically told that Apple wouldn't allow it. Chuckle good luck they had a head start and have hit the skids. The iPhone app would have helped them anyway, too many potential lawsuits and a lack of gutzy investors did them in. Good luck, but please whatever you do don't act like you are doing something new... Wake up and Smell the Coffee... Chuckle.

MP3tunes will sync your itunes library (as well as all other popular media managers). It works on Mac/Win/Lin. You can then play your music on any browser via a web player or even have a Pandora like radio experience where one click gives you a custom mix of music. But it doesn't stop there. You can send songs to any phone, you can stream your music to any of the popular net radio devices like Logitech's Squeezebox line. (without any PC turned on) We also demoed the first car player! So your music is synced from your locker to your car automatically. The upcoming product is from Clarion. And of course you you can use other devices like your Tivo, Wii, etc. to stream your music.
