MP3tunes.com: free & unlimited mp3-storage
Posted on | February 13, 2007 | 2 Comments
as of today, MP3tunes.com has extended their free mp3-storage & -streaming product from 1gbyte to unlimited storage capacity & bandwidth. a locally installed application (available for windows, mac & linux) syncs the remote mp3-locker to the local media-library in both directions (this may take a very long time depending on your internet-connection, which typically is way weaker on the upload-side). since the application currently lacks the ability to do automated sync-ups, it’s up to the user to remember syncing once every while. stored tracks can be played back anywhere on the web using Mp3tunes’ embedded flash-player. however, before you start uploading tons of audio to the locker, consider that MP3tunes free offer will be financed by advertising, which at some point might also include audio-ads injected into your playlists.

(via P2P Blog)
update: after experimenting a bit, I noticed that the free mp3-locker is limited to a maxium file-size of 10mbytes
another restriction, albeight an obvious one, is that files including DRM (Apple FairPlay etc.) won’t sync with the locker.

the actual benefit of this? in times of ipods et al? or simple hd storage reduction…

even the largest ipod holds only half of my mp3’s (I encode in 256kbit/s). I like the idea of having my media-library available everywhere I am…so I guess that’s the main benefit.
I could also imagine to use this as a pure backup-solution…right now if my network-attached disk goes boom, I’ld have to rip all my CDs again, *gulp*
