Has anyone checked out AudioBox.fm yet? AudioBox.fm is a cloud based online music service that lets you upload your music collection and access it anywhere in the world (as long as you have service). All I have to say about this online cloud hosting service…. AWESOME!
Today they have added the iPhone/iPod touch to its list of supported devices through a native application. I’m pretty sure that they are going to be short lived because of Apple and their new data center that they are building. Going on with that, I’m even more suprised that the soon to be cloud hosting giant allowed the AudioBox.fm iPhone app in the iTunes App Store considering it will be a cloud music competitor in the next few months.
I’ve been researching this a little over the past couple weeks, I have found that there are several services like this one. There are several: mecanto.com, bitspace.at, psonar.com, moozone.com, and tunesbag.com (see TCEU coverage) and of course, MP3tunes.
AudioBox.fm is 100% FREE, with Pro accounts starting at $3.99. If you want mobile app access, you will need to pay for the cloud music storage fees. AudioBox.fm was founded in December 2009, also claims to already be profitable. We’ll see if that stays the same in the next year. Hopefully they will because it’s a pretty rockin service. A+
