Comments on: Simplify Media: P2P Like the Old Days http://www.profy.com/2007/07/14/simplify-media/ Web 2.0 News & Commentary Sat, 17 May 2008 10:05:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Get Groovin’ With Grooveshark - Profy.Com http://www.profy.com/2007/07/14/simplify-media/#comment-394811 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:10:44 +0000 http://www.profy.com/2007/07/14/simplify-media/#comment-394811 [...] We've reviewed social music applications on Profy before (SimplifyMedia comes to mind). We've also given a thumbs down to other companies trying a similar business model, like Limewire, mainly because those companies were a means to steal music before they tried to go legit. Grooveshark has the advantage of paying royalties right from the start, without the stigma associated with other P2P sales models that used to be P2P music gateways used for stealing songs.

Im gonna check it out! I've used a bunch of these services too (tho not quickeo), and I've ended up always going back to mediamaster. It's similar to simplifymedia, except you upload your music to the website, and then to share with friends you can make radio streams. But I'll definitely give simplify media a run too! Thanks as always! This is cool. Im gonna check it out! I’ve used a bunch of these services too (tho not quickeo), and I’ve ended up always going back to mediamaster.

What I particularly found useful was Quickeo for sharing all kind of stuff, because it leverages the most common form of communication today which is Email... You're presented with a nice email like interface, you add pictures, or images, or videos or other files to an album, and then you send to whomever you want [including yourself of course], the files in question via email. The email that arrives doesn't require you to download anything or have anything special beyond a Web browser and support for Flash which lets face it every computer has these days.. even my mom's computer qualifies... If you have pictures or videos, they autostart for you in a nice slideshow type format and you're good to go... anyways, slick behind the scene synching, easy to deal with when you receive the email and pretty to look at when you receive it.... sounds like a winning combination and it's FREE for 1 gb of storage space.. Anyways, that's my 2 cents...

My friend Cyndy and I tried this last night, and she wrote a review of it in her Web 2.0 series on Profy. She liked it better than I did. I give it points for catering to the voyeur in me - snooping around someone else’s iTunes and judging them for bonding with them over their taste in music is always fun. Plus you get to see the guilty pleasure songs they never allow to pop up on their iPod and tease them about it (she got to see my Johnny Cash hiding in my playlist, I got to see her show tunes). SimplifyMedia has a couple of major drawback though. First, you can not see the music you bought using iTunes. That is a huge blow against this software for me as I’m a big believer in fair use once I’ve paid for something. Second, while the program doesn’t take up much room on your hard drive, or use much bandwidth, using it really blows up your RAM consumption. I have 1.25 GB in my MacBook, and I found I had to close programs to keep the stream going - not cool. [...] […] You can try programs like SimplifyMedia.
