New MobileMe may offer music locker for $20 per year

mobile

According to sources speaking to The Music Void, Apple may launch a revamped MobileMe service this year with a new “music locker” feature, which would allow iTunes users to store and access music in the cloud. The idea of an online storage feature in MobileMe is nothing new, but Apple may already have a deal with Warner Music Group that will allow users to access music in the cloud. This could, for example, allow users to stream music from their iTunes library to any computer, or allow users to re-download tracks they’ve already paid for. Despite rumors that a free version of MobileMe is in the works, The Music Void argues that Apple will charge around $20 per year for the new, cloud service. For now it’s all a hearsay, but hopefully we’ll hear more in the next month or so.

    This is nice and all, but I’ll wait for Google to come along and offer a similar service for free about a half year later.

    These MobileMe services need to be free. So many other options out there today that paying for it is definitely not worth it. APPLE IS GREEDY!

      Yeah they just spent a billion dollars on a 500,000 square foot server farm in North Carolina. Free. Lol how about you host it out of your pocket. Don’t be a dolt

    Audiogalaxy offers similar functionality for free. Of course your host PC has to be on and they aren’t stored in the cloud as such but it isn’t a bad service.

      Audiogalaxy is awesome, and they have good Android and even a native ipad app which is very good. I recommend for everyone who has the ability to have a host PC at home.

    I’ve had MobileMe for four years. I am not renewing this year. Way overpriced for what you get.
