[...] My expectation is that when completed, the JumperTest app will hook into Google Music, a digital storage locker for media streaming that will reportedly cost $25 per year. That service would likely depend on licensing arrangements between Google and the record labels. And it would compete with a number of existing third-party music streaming services, such as MP3Tunes, MOG, Rdio, Rhapsody, and Spotify (not yet available in the U.S.) just to name a few. Related: how to use some of these services to stream music from the cloud. [...]

besides, you're not limited to 16GB -- get yourself a 32GB microSD card and you've already got more to take with you, including on the airplane or on the cruise in the caribbean -- all without the buffer-time it takes to start streaming from the "cloud."

grab pandora, slacker, or any other app and stream music, even without a buffer (as music is buffered before it plays) -- or load up dropbox to stream your music from there, too.

But not every consumer is ready for that paradigm shift, hence the weekend project. It was meant to share how to do something, not to argue that it’s the best or only way to do something. Of course, we could have a philosophical debate over that. ;)

Good suggestion for those that want to manage a personal cloud with no monthly fee. I've been doing the same with Orb on and off for the last several years.
