Mobile Music Library – Suck It iTunes
I have some musical website endorsements for y’all tonight. The first is called mp3tunes. Basically it stores music you upload on a server that allows you to manage your music remotely and sink it to up to 3 different computers for free (more computers if you have a paid account). It also lets you listen to your music library from any computer. This is cool for those of us that have multiple work stations and load music in different places. If I add music to my library at work then when I get home I can just have mp3tunes sync up the new tracks to my hard drive. Another cool thing is that rather than just uploading your tracks to mp3tunes you can also set it to download tracks from any url you input. So if someone posts a song you like you can have mp3tunes download it and add it to your library without downloading it directly. This brings us to the second cool site of the evening -> Sideload.com
Sideload basically just tracks music that is posted on the internet. So if someone posts a song that is legal or illegal somewhere sideload.com tracks it and lets you download it or automatically load it into your mp3tunes music locker for free. The con is that some of the links go down so you can’t download the music anymore. As long as it is up you can load that music into your mp3tunes library with just a click of a button.
Now if iTunes could do that it would be pretty cool but it can’t so it is still lame. To make things even better, all the music is DRM free so you can do whatever you want with it. Its pretty much rad and I enjoyed it so I thought you might too.
Indie Music Reviews
By way of addendum I’d like to add in a topical site that a friend of mine runs and I enjoy. Shepizzle.com is a great place to get and read music reviews on great indie bands. He always goes through the trouble of finding a few free listening resources so visitors can hear the music.
