Think net radios are too expensive? Think again!

Internet radios have been around for a few years now. When they first came out they were very high-end and had a steep price tag to match. Most people saw them and thought: "Someday I'd like to get a net radio." Well, if you've been waiting for the price to fall to about $100, today is your lucky day.

We have been working with Audiovox/RCA and they have two new net radio models to choose from: the AR 200 and the AR 600i. Both of these integrate MP3tunes Locker support right out of the box! Now, you can play thousands of net stations as well as tunes from your Music Locker, wirelessly. And prices start at around $100. So, what are you waiting for? It's time to get a net radio.

Video on your phone? It's easier than ever!

You already know that your MP3tunes locker is the best place to store your personal music collection. Well now your locker can also store and play back videos - making it ever better!

There are many ways to add videos to your Locker:

• Use the webloader to upload individual video files.

• For multiple videos, use the free LockerSync program.

• For videos you find on the net, there is a free Firefox plug-in called DownloadHelper. (Like having a TiVo for YouTube!) DownloadHelper now has the ability to store downloaded videos right to your MP3tunes Locker with a single mouse click.

Another innovative feature is the ability to send nearly any net video directly to your phone. Simply select "Send to Mobile" when you use DownloadHelper.

Meta search engines for DRM-free MP3s

There are many meta search engines for free MP3 files, but none for commercial MP3s. (A meta search engine is one that searches multiple places and compiles the results.) Since there's a large variety in what stores carry we thought it would be useful to create an MP3 store search. Check out the newest version of MP3 Store Guide which now profiles more than 30 MP3 stores and includes a meta search feature. (We're also making the source code for the search engine available for all to use and improve.) Give it a try!

MP3tunes in your car?!?

Wireless delivery of music to your car is becoming a reality and Clarion is the early leader. Their touch screen MiND device (which was also on display at the Intel booth) will load your music collection to your car directly from the Internet. Rip a CD, download a track at your office computer and then have it automatically loaded to your dashboard using either your mobile phone's net connection or wifi. Behind the scene, songs are being copied from your personal music Locker to your car so you can listen to all your favorite tunes while cruising down the road. In addition to music syncing, the MiND also displays Google Maps and Traffic.com – all controlled from the net.
