There’s a cool program, for Mac and PC, that lets you see my iTunes library and listen to songs from it. It’s called Simplify Media.
With it, you can share your music with up to 30 friends. So far, I have about five friends (not in life, I mean with this iTunes sharing). And as long as my computer’s on and SM is running, you can browse and play my music, and I can do the same with yours.
Simplify makes its money, it looks like, by showing a small window with links to buy the album you’re currently listening to. Which kinda makes sense: I might like one of your songs, and this is a handy way to get it.
As with all Internet things, I guess the drawbacks would be security and privacy and bandwidth: i.e. there’s a chance that this software will open you up to hacking, and there’s a chance that simplify media are pond dwellers who will steal your watch, wallet and identity. And if I’m letting you listen to my music, I’m of course letting you use my bandwidth. But I’ve got bandwidth out the wazoo (not in; my wazoo is simplex) and I don’t mind you seeing that I have 15% Depeche Mode in my library. Ask Susie about that one.
Anyway, if you’d like to see what music I work to, download it and let me know, I’d be happy to add you. I’m nep if you want an invite.
