A few weeks ago we wrote about the challenges of synchronizing all your music. At different times of the day you have different devices – CD player in the car, stereo at home, iPod while mobile, PC at home and a PC at work. We reviewed how services like LaLa and Echodio can make your musical life easier. However a new entrant, blueTunes is making it even easier to synchronize your music to wherever you are! The blueTunes service is bringing a simple process, a great interface and has put together a viable business model – unlike so many other music sites that are still searching for a way to monetize all they do.
Upload your songs – Sign up for a free account and easily upload all of your music to blueTunes in a matter of seconds. You’ll never have to worry about backing up your music again! Very similar to how Lala works, blueTunes scans your hard drive for music files and uploads them to the site’s servers. This process would take a long time and quite a bit of bandwidth were it not for a shortcut. While the site uses a Java app to check through your music folders to make sure you own the music, the site only makes you upload songs that aren’t already in its database. Unless you’ve got a really unusual collection you’ll be able to transfer your library to the blueTunes very quickly.
Login to blueTunes and play your music from work, home, school, or wherever you are. Your music now follows you wherever you go. Never “sync” your music library across multiple platforms again.
Share your music on Facebook, your blog, or your website with the blueTunes sharing features. Create playlists that you can share with a single friend or the Internet world.
The benefits of a desktop client for this kind of music service are nice. If you try using a site like MySpace Music, you generally have to keep a browser tab open at all times, and it’s easy to close the wrong tab and turn off your music – not to mention the occasional browser lockup. Using blueTunes through a desktop app, you don’t have to deal with any of these problems.
Forgot words – just take a look – its clean, its simple, its iTunes like and its just easy to use.
Oh, and did we mention that blueTunes works on Windows, Linux and Macintosh. Since it is java based it is built to work with all operating systems and web browsers.
You can upload your first 100 songs to blueTunes for absolutely nothing. After that, it’s just 1 cent per song. There are no recurring monthly fees. There are no charges for fixed amount of storage space regardless of how much you are actually using. With blueTunes there is a simple no-hassle approach where you pay for only what you need. It’s not one size fits all – it’s what size fits you!
blueTunes does it all – from playing your music on any PC, to the secure feeling of backing up your music using the industry’s most reliable redundant storage methods for protecting your music and onto posting your playlists on your blog or website.
While LaLa and Echodio are good services – I think that blueTunes has put together the full package that will make it one of the leading services for managing your music.
