Major system improvements

MP3tunes is nearing a million users and our original system and architecture was struggling with the load. We're happy to announce we've done a major upgrade to increase the capacity in anticipation of the next 9 million users. One of the benefits is that you should experience faster browsing and searching for your music on all your MP3tunes connected devices. We hope you'll enjoy it!

Your music locker is now your MEDIA locker

Now you can upload your personal videos to your MP3tunes Locker. You can view your videos in a web browser wherever you go. This is great for saving footage of your daughter's soccer game or your friend's rockin' party. But, it gets so much better.....

Not only can you upload your personal videos, you can share them with your friends and family with just a click!

Here's how you can add (and share) videos from your MP3tunes Media Locker:

1.) First, you have to add some videos to your Locker. There are 3 ways you can do this:

• MP3tunes web-based uploader
• MP3tunes LockerSync (Mac/Windows/Linux)
• DownloadHelper (an add-on for Firefox which allows you to save videos)

2.) Now, choose the video to send. Log in to mp3tunes.com and locate the videos you uploaded. Click the icon next to the video and select "Send to...."


3.) Type your friend's email address and click "Send". That's it! The Locker will send your friend or family member an email with a link to your video.

Battle of the WebOS Apps!

We are happy to announce two new options for HP WebOS customers. If you have a Palm Pre or Palm Pixi phone you can now listen to your MP3tunes Locker on the go. Earlier this year HP bought Palm and they have announced plans to roll out a bunch of new phones, tablets, and devices running WebOS. So, by the end of the year, we expect to see a whole bunch of new WebOS devices that work with MP3tunes.

We encourage you to install both of these apps and try them out. Find the one you like best and let us know what you think.

You can install both of these apps directly from the Palm App Catalog:

Application Name: MP3tunesBeta2 Developer: Elvin Ibbotson Contact: support@alittle.org.uk
Application Name: MP3 Tunes for WebOS Beta Developer: Jesse Bowden Contact: support@magicappsonline.com

Want An Apple TV Right Now? Buy A Roku

TechCrunch reacts to the Apple TV announcement:

"The new Apple TV, is, well, boring. Sorry, it is. But more on that later. Right now, I thought I should point out that there’s already a well-developed product on the market that not only competes directly with the new Apple TV, but in many ways, is vastly superior: The Roku."
