iPhone Users Can Now Get Their Music in the Cloud With mSpot

    Finally, iPhone and iPod touch users can access their music from the cloud. The mSpot cloud music service goes live today, offering iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac/PC users the ability to upload up to 2GB of their music collections for free, and listen to that music anywhere.

    The mSpot music service is almost identical to the AndroidAndroid version released in June, offering a smartphone app with a choice between live streaming and “airplane mode,” in which selected songs are pre-downloaded to the user’s player for playback when an InternetInternet connection isn’t available.

    As users add music to their Macs or PCs, mSpot’s desktop application automatically syncs the songs with the mSpot service. Of course, most music collections are much larger than the 2GB allowed by mSpot’s free account, so the company’s offering 40GB of space for $3.99 per month.
Finally, the inconvenience of moving music between devices is eliminated with this service. The big question we have now: Why didn’t Apple offer this service a long time ago?
