Simplify Media is a music broadcasting/sharing application that lets you access your entire digital music collection anywhere (at work, on your second computer, and on your iPhone). It’s gotten a ton of good press, but I don’t think I know a single person (other than me) who actually uses it. And that’s a crime.
All you need to do is download a small application to your computer (they have Windows, Mac and Linux versions). It will scan your local machine for audio files, and that’s pretty much it. Download the same app on another networked machine, enter your username and password, and you’ll have access to your entire music collection. (They also have an iPhone app, which lets you access your entire library over wifi or 3G. Buffering has been lightning fast for me, even at 3G speeds, and I’ve even gotten access underground.)
But here’s the best part: you can also share your music library with thirty – that’s 3-0 – of your closest friends. Just exchange passwords, and you will have access to their music anywhere, too.
