Personal Music Streaming Service With MediaMaster
Everything our days seems to move toward the Web including your own audio contents. MediaMaster, a free web-based service that allows you to upload music from your hard drive to their online storage, and then listen to it from wherever you are. The service was launched this month.
After a quick free registration, you get no limit (at least for now) on the space you can take up to upload your music. Uploading your music is simple through the AJAX web interface.
Once uploaded, MediaMaster matches up your music with album art of its own.Double clicking on any of the icons will display whichever tracks are uploaded from that album, and from there you can drag specific tracks (or whole albums) to your “Now Playing” or “Radio” playlists. The process is straightforward. Few additional nice touches are the capability to embed the player on your Blog or MySpace. (I’d stay away from this to avoid trouble with the RIAA)
I uploaded some music and created MyRadio Playlist (.pls -Shoutcast Playlist). The .pls can be sent to anybody to stream and playback with WinAmp, iTunes or WMP with a little help from HERE! (Windows Media Player can open PLS (Shoutcast Playlist) internet radio streams, it just doesn’t know it can. This program opens PLS files and forwards the information to Windows Media Player)
I have not tried to stream to a WM device yet. But I’ll keep you posted later!
