a cloud player

so basically, media players that allow for online storage are beginning to exist. why is that cool? well, any computer would be able to use it. so its your music collection on any terminal of your choice. at a friends house and want to show them some cool music? easy. in the library and thought you'd be able to do the next 200 words of your essay if only you heard such-and-such a song, and oh it happens to be those obscure ones that doesnt appear on youtube? sure. it has the potential to turn any smartphone device into an mp3 player where space doesnt have to be the issue. sure smartphones are usually good mp3 players anyway, but you could have the choice of all your library, without it even being stored on your phone.

this is a really good idea. we already have it in the form of photos and word documents so the more remote media the better.

if it released in the uk, it would be breaking copyright laws, but copying a cd onto your mp3 player is too which is a bit archaic. its about time the laws caught up a couple of decades and allowed people to listen to music the way they want to.
