Anywhere.fm is a free web service, based on Adobe’s Flash, that let’s you stream songs from their site to any computer though an iTunes-like interface. I have been playing around with it today and think it is a somewhat interesting. One of the more promising features is that Anywhere.fm seamlessly integrates with iTunes. From the site:
Better yet, use either the Mac or Windows iTunes Desktop Uploader to automatically upload your song library, playlists, and play counts. It will upload songs with the highest ratings and play counts first, and will also automatically manage your upload speed so as not to disturb your internet experience. These can be downloaded from the “iTunes Uploader” button in the top right corner of the site.
Right now, there is no storage limit so you can upload, supposedly, all the music you have. I am sure that will change once a premium service is announced.
After using Anywhere.fm today, I am not sure if I am going to use it again. Placeshifting of music is kind of a funny thing. If I want to placeshift music, I will just put it on my iPod. If I want to hear new music, I will listen to Pandora.
