Putting Your Music In The Cloud

blueTunes posts your favorite songs in an online locker and allows you to listen from any computer with an Internet connection. It’s a good idea, and it sounds quite familiar. After all, this is what mp3.com proposed to do in the dusty, creaky days of music on the Internet. And this function was sued out of existence. So why is blueTunes any different? Not only does it store tracks, but it also shares to Facebook, iTunes, and even Second Life (hopefully your avatar shares the same taste in music as you do). It even has a desktop client. So why does it still exist?

In thisĀ TechCrunch article, the founder only says that they’ve taken every precaution possible. That doesn’t quite instill a sense of confidence, but there’s been no legal action so far. So use it and enjoy, but make sure you don’t steal tracks and use it wisely. And maybe not count on it being there in a few months.
