Hi well I use bluetunes and its excellent. I chose it for one reason, the ability to receive a streaming URL of your playlist. That means i can stream my playlist by url on pretty much any internet radio or windows media player etc.
Re licencing, as far as i understand it the tag information and licencing is checked as it uploads. I have a couple of mp3 files which were unknown and that were given to me. These did not appear in the list after uploading. The reason for the cost is clear Bandwidth. I used to use mediamaster and enjoyed it a lot they went out of business not because of legal action but because of bandwidth costs.
Anyway anyone who hears a song will eventually buy the original anyway so i dont know what all the fuss is about.

‘Cause Orb is Windows only, in spite of promising “mac and linux support coming very soon” for years now. Can’t beat the price of orb though

Never mind lala, mp3tunes or mp3.com – myplay.com did the ‘personal digital locker’ before any of them. They offered 3 gigs of storage back in 1999 and that was when 3 gigs was a lot.

They also beat all those playlist sites and offered a ’share this playlist’ option based on DMCA copmpliant radio rules. Back then there was no built in player, you had to use winamp to play your music collection.

Lala says: “This service is not available for international users”. I live in Peru. What a pitty!

Why in the hell would anyone want this serves, let alone pay for it. We don’t live in a world with unlimited wireless access. I own an iPod, and carry my music with me everywhere, even to work. Although my collection is larger than my iPod, putting the music I want on the iPod is easy, free, and I can access anywhere that there is no internet.

Ever wondered why Lala and other services are not knocking the ball out of the park? It is because no one is willing to pay for this, when they can get an iPod that gives them more portability.

Do they get to take a peek into music collection at will?

The blueTunes technology is old news. http://www.lala.com is already doing this, as are a number of other companies including MP3Tunes.

ooTunes is a ripoff — why pay when you can get it for free? Use Orb, from http://www.orb.com (which also does documents, videos, and anything else you want to share with yourself).

I prefer Simplify Media’s solution (you have to leave your home computer on — so no uploading required) but it allows me to stream my music through iTunes (keeps all my playlists) and they have an iPhone app as well so I have my entire music library with me all the time.

And it’s free well…. except for the iPhone app.

Must be problematic regarding licensing / piracy, no?

Why not try mixcloud.com its music streamed from the cloud, curated by enthusiastic DJs / music lovers. That way you get to discover what other people really like listening to too…

Its free, simple & seems to be legit.

The reason I use lala.com is the simplicity it provides for listening to all my music. At 10 cents a pop per song, it’s the cheapest, also they do allow you to listen to every song in their database for free one time through, so you can get the feel of an album before you buy.

Why would I want to upload my collection of music, only to have someone extract it and have copies of my music that I purchased? When I listen to my music, I use my home system or my portable device, why would I want to put more strain on my computer and drain my battery more by doing this.

That’s well and good, but I don’t leave a computer online at home all day. It’s a waste of power. I don’t use one of these services, but I can see the value for people that do.

Weird people don’t know this has been implemented years ago. Maybe not uploading your music and possibly with the problem of letting your computer on at home, but it’s possible. It’s called Winamp. It has an extension that lets you log into your account from any browser from any computer, log into your comp at home, and listen to all your music streaming live, with no hassles or problems.

What type of deal does Lala have worked out with the major labels? Do they get to take a peek into your music collection at will?

I think this site has a work around. Make a blank mp3 file of the same size as a genuine file and the site won’t upload it if the song with the same name exists on the site. Because according to meta data the files would be the same. So you can listen to a song you want without owning it! Just a theory
