Who wants a 'music locker" for free? If you do, just go to MP3tunes! This deal basically would allow a client to save MP3s by storing them with the company, then it would allow users to play the songs via PC or Web-enabled device. Here's how to describe the MP3tunes idea:
Michael Robertson makes it clear this is an attempt to (in theory) draw people away from Apple. While the service rivals the Apple Nano's storage capacity, it seems hard to believe since people like sharing music and taking it with them that they would prefer to tie themselves down by limiting themselves to playing their favorite songs by PC. If Robertson's dream of people using Web-enabled home entertainment systems becomes reality, then such a service like this might be practical and even desirable. Naturally, storing your preferred MP3s with someone else means someone doesn't have to waste one's own disk space for storage, so if someone gets a virus, the songs aren't lost. Of course, if the company's server gets a virus or goes down for any length of time… Otherwise, this article names the remaining limitations of this concept, along with the Apple iPod's dominance in this market.
