nuTsie brings iTunes to your mobile… sort of
Melodeo has introduced nuTsie, a new service which lets you stream iTunes music from your home computer (sort of – read on) to your compatible wireless mobile phone. The beta of nuTsie is currently free.
nuTsie, assuming it survives what will probably be an Apple lawsuit soon, says it lets you enjoy “hi-fi quality music” and offers you the ability to shuffle your iTunes playlists and songs from your phone. The way it works is that you export the metadata about your iTunes music collection and upload that data to the online service. nuTsie “compares the list of the songs in your iTunes library and playlists with all the music already stored on nuTsie’s Web servers, and then streams those same songs to your mobile phone. It plays all the songs in a shuffle mode. nuTsie pays the artists and recording industry based on your listening to their music.”
What’s interesting to note about this service is that it does not in fact stream your iTunes music collection from your home computer, which gives you the ability to enjoy music even if your PC is turned off. The potential major downside of all of this is that if you have a lot of fringe music in your collection you may not be able to enjoy it if it doesn’t exist on nuTsie’s servers.
A social element also exists with nuTsie in that you can share your music tastes and playlists with friends through a Web page. Melodeo hopes to expand this sharing to your mobile soon.
