mSpot Cloud Music is Available to Public (US)
At the last Google I/O conference, mSpot music was introduced. mSpot allows people to upload their music to its server & cloud storage for up to 2GB for free and to be able to play back over the Web or initially on Android phones over WiFi or 3G. There are also Freemium versions, which offers larger storage capacity or perhaps a music subscription service.
“Today, how people sync music is they’re manually connecting that USB cable, they have to transfer all their files, and any time your library changes, you’ve got to sync up,” Daren Tsui, CEO of mSpot told Wired “With the music now in the cloud, we believe you don’t have to do that anymore. Any changes happen in the background, and you see that on your mobile device.”
Users need to install a software. (available for Windows and Mac). Select what folders or album to upload and to be sync’ed. On the client side, it is a Web-based app, which works on most modern browsers. A client software is available for Android 2.1 or higher smartphone. Users can set aside local storage for both stream and download songs.
Apple has something similar with Lala acquisition but it hasn’t mentioned its plan for the foreseen future.
mSpot has been in private beta mode, but it is open to all. Visit the company’s website for more.
Additionally, mSpot also offers a movie streaming & download service for watching on a browser or the iPhone. The cost per movie for 24hr ranging from $2 to $5.
