I agree with Jesse that comcast and other similar isps like roadrunner could leverage this technology.

AnywhereMP3 would certainly fit right in with the suite of goodies accessible through Comcast.net. It would then be left to Robertson to upsell this user base to his premium services (as the others I mentioned do).

Maybe I’m missing something but anyone really need this?

Wrapped up in a fancy new wrapper, but the same basic concept. They likely limit it to 192kbps because that’s what they are storing everything in; presumably they are really keeping one copy of every track regardless of the user.

Roberts comment is exactly what got Mp3.com sued last time. It’s funny how many re-run startups are popping up!

Where’s the money in that? I can see MP3Tunes making money, but not AnywhereMp3.

I definitely see a market potential for web-based media players that play music AND videos. In addition, it would be great if there was a “behind the scenes” software that takes care of the syncing of media from the hard drive to the web-drive. MP3Tunes has “Oboe”, but it’s a little too bulky and un-automated for my taste.

If anything, these companies could also position themselves as web-based storage providers for backing up music and media.

Elitists who want to get every inaudible trebles would have all their music in CDs only and play them on powerful 5.1 HiFi systems instead of Flash-based player on computer speaker set :) Absolute majority of people does not know what kbps means anyway…

What is the point of music if you are playing it in such low quality?

But it is interesting as it will resolve issues with various song formats and people can use this to listen to mp3 songs only.
