SimplifyMedia: Share Your iTunes over the Web and iPhone
Granted iTunes has “Sharing” option to allow sharing music on the same network between 2 iTunes desktop. But what happen if the 2 computers are across town or continents?
Today, I listened TWIT Podcast, where I learned about SimplifyMedia, which provides a client software that works exactly like the sharing feature in iTunes but SimplifyMedia works across networks.
You can download the client and you can invite up to 30 iTunes owned friends to share your music libraries. When the peers are online they can see each other playlists and will be able to stream each other’s music libraries.
Getting Started
1) Install Simplify Media on your Apple iPhone or iPod Touch using the Apple App Store (category Music) or this direct link.
2) Sign in with your Simplify Media screen name and password.
If you don’t have a free account, download and install Simplify Media for your PC, Mac or Linux computer and create one from your desktop.
3) Invite more friends to enjoy more music.

SimplifyMedia is available for free on Macs, PCs, Linux and even the iPhone.

I installed Simplify Media a while back (beta version) and it works great. In terms of legality, all the music is streamed to the computer on the receiving end – they don’t actually have the ability to save or copy it. Great program!
I was not impressed.
