Oboe Offers Portable Playlist

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the just-need-more-pervasive-internet-access dept.

Chiggers writes to tell us that Mad Penguin has an interesting look at Oboe, the new music service from MP3Tunes. For a monthly fee Oboe allows you unlimited space to create a cross-platform music playlist available anywhere you have an internet connection via their AJAX-enabled GUI. The audio player still needs a little work but overall it is an interesting idea.

    1. Create MP3 storage service

    2. Wait, rubbing hands and cackling evilly, for everyone to upload their pirated music.

    3. Show up at the door and demand to see the CDs the music came from...in fact, forget the CD, just sue.

    4. ???

    5. Profit!!

    20 MB audio file limit per song

    So I'm guessing that means I won't be able to take some extended Iron Butterfly tracks with me then?

    You know there's just going to be some guy sitting at the big 9-screen display at the company HQ watching as the hard drives fill up with music, shifting his hands in that manical way saying: "MINE! THEY'RE ALL MINE! ALL THE MUSIC I COULD EVER WANT!!! MINE!!!"

    He'll download all of it to his 500TB iPod Mega-edition and never listen to the same song twice in his life.
