I know.  I really do need to get back to this.  Let me first just say that it’s been a beautiful summer here in Germany, and I’ve been enjoying it.  Ok, so that covers some of the time.  How about I REALLY needed to get caught up on CSY: X?  Yeah, well that’s done too.  So here I am.

I currently feel the need to talk about the newest online service that I discovered recently: MP3tunes.  They offer a service called Locker.  You can either sign up for a free account or a premium service for $39.95 a year.  Since I wanted to test it first, I signed up for the free service which gives me up 2 GB of storage space for my music.  It works well, but since it’s free, you have limited control.  Here’s the process:  download LockerSync and then let it run.  It will find the music on your computer and then upload it to your account.  I really do recommend that you start this process before you go to bed, if you have a large connection.  Then go online and sign into your account.  Voila, you can now listen to your iTunes (or other) collection online.  Why you asked?  It keeps you from having to move your music around with you, and if you work in a place that won’t allow you to bring in an iPod, all you need is a computer account.  The premium service offers much more including a 50 GB storage space.  I think it’s time to see what else this site can provide.
