Since you plan to buy music, and seem to have an extensive catalog, give Audiogalaxy (http://www.audiogalaxy.com http://www.audiogalaxy.com) to have free access to your music from everywhere. It's my startup, so don't let me bias you - check out reviews on iTunes/Android and the web. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. :)

Audiogalaxy is a startup? Haven't you guys been going for, well, surely more than a decade?

  Old Audiogalaxy shut down a few years ago. This is an entirely new thing, but with some of the same people and (re)using the same name.

    Back in the day, I absolutely loved AudioGalaxy. It was much better than Napster. You would go on artist page, and see the songs in order of most popular - so you'd instantly see which songs you should check out from new artists. Ah, the good old days of free mp3s just laying around on the web...

Wow audio galaxy looks amazing! I love the pin feature and easy publish to Facebook. Just downloaded. Also like that it doesn't force me (a la iTunes match) to fill up my phone with 256kbps files--I think apple wants to sell larger GB devices. Good reviews too. Lol I haven't thought about audio galaxy since 1999. Congrats!

What is the relationship between your Audiogalaxy and the Audiogalaxy that existed back in 2000?

Looks nice. I'll have to give it a try. Do you have any plans to support automatically backing up music between devices? Current solutions seem to solve either the "play anywhere" or "keep your music safe" problems, but not both. Ideally, I'd like something with the following characteristics: * Syncs music like Dropbox, except does it peer to peer between my own devices so I don't have to pay for space. My wife and I both buy music on both our computers and both our iPhones, and keeping a canonical repository of it for backup and safekeeping is a huge pain. * Lets me choose which artists/albums to sync on to constrained space devices, for offline play. It should take me 2 seconds to say "I want Iron Maiden and Blind Guardian on my iPhone while I'm camping this weekend." Lets me do this from any of my devices. * Lets me stream music without syncing it (like Audiogalaxy currently does). * Lets me make tracks/playlists available to my friends for streaming (licensing issues around this one are tricky, but of Spotify can do it, it should be possible.) I would LOVE something like this. So far, the only thing I've heard of that even comes close to the spirit of this is iTunes Match, whenever that finally happens.

  #2 (marking selective chunks of music for offline playback) is available as a paid addon. Some of the other items are stuff we're working on, is all I can say at this point. Stay tuned.
