MP3tunes is a music service provider (MSP) launched by Michael Robertson, the founder of the MP3.com, one of the first online services to offer music downloads in the late 1990s. MP3tunes provides individuals a personal music locker with unlimited storage online, protecting the digital music collection from loss, and making it possible to access one’s music collection from any device.

Tech Wire has tried and reviewed the MP3tunes service, and it concluded that as someone sometimes disappointed with music selections at parties, I like the prospect of virtually taking my entire catalog of music across town or across the country.
And knowing my personal trove of music is safely backed up in cyberspace, sparing me the unsettling prospect of having to rip scores of CDs back into my PC should it fail, makes using the Oboe Locker a no-brainer.
