MediaMaster is competing with the likes of [MP3tunes][3] and others offering online jukebox services, but MediaMaster currently has no limits on storage space. - -To set up a free account you'll just need to pick a username and password. The MediaMaster interface is very simple and intuitive making it easy to upload and listen to your tunes (see screenshots and demo video after the jump). The MediaMaster interface is built with Flash so you'll need to have the Adobe Flash Player installed. - -There are two methods for uploading your MP3s. The first is a simple select menu useful for adding a track or two, while the second is really simple drag-and-drop uploader. Just find the folder you'd like to upload on your hard drive and drag it over to the MediaMaster uploader and it will automatically parse the tracks. - -When uploading MediaMaster checks to see if the file already exists in which case it will skip it. Watch out when uploading live tracks as they may appear to be duplicates from MediaMaster's perspective. - -Once your tracks are uploaded you'll see a screen with album covers for all your music. In a very nice UI touch, when you don't have all the tracks on an album MediaMaster displays the cover art with a bite out of it. - -Creating and managing playlists is handled through drag-and-drop. Users can also rate songs and share music with embeddable widgets for blogs and popular social networking sites like Facebook. - -To skirt copyright restriction the sharing widgets do not actually give others copies of your music, instead they can stream it. There is also no way to download your files once they're uploaded, they can be deleted, but that's it, which means MediaMaster is not for those seeking backup system. - -Free accounts supposedly have an unlimited storage space but [according to Webware][1], MediaMaster plans to cap off user accounts at 4GB. - -For now only non-protected files can be uploaded which means your iTunes purchases won't work, but MediaMaster claims they are hoping to deliver iPod support and other features in the near future. - -Demo video from the founders of MediaMaster: - -<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XRVCO1mti9s"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XRVCO1mti9s" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> - -[1]: http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9699994-2.html "MediaMaster takes your music library online" -[2]: http://mediamaster.com/ "MediaMaster" -[3]: http://www.mp3tunes.com/ "MP3tunes" - -Main screen with default Classical Album (the Tom of MediaMaster I guess. - -Main upload screen.
