Simplify Media - Share your iTunes anywhere

July 13, 2007

One of the best features of iTunes is the Shared Music - anyone on your local network can listen to other music on the network. A company called Simplify Media helps you expand that network to the entire Internet.

You download the application, set up a username and password, and then invite your friends. When they add you as a friend, your music shows up under their Shared Music, and theirs under yours. You can also log in using your username on a different computer, giving you access to your music somewhere else (I’m at work right now listening to the music at my house).

It’s free, but has a little popup amazon ad that lets you buy the music you’re listening to (you can just minimize this to the dock). Also, playlists don’t show up under shared music, just a list of all your music.

Check it out and add me as a friend. My screenname is billerickson.
