			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://moof.com/" target="_blank">Moof.com</a> is one service of many that&#8217;s a step closer to granting us an all-access portal to our iTunes music collections from off-site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A simple .xml export/import from iTunes allows Moof to quickly assess your library, referencing all tracks and playlists located there.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Moof currently pulls content from YouTube. Often, it pulls live versions of songs rather than the original, making it fun to watch video playback while adding a new dimension to the casual listening experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The site brings closer the idea of having access to our music collection anywhere, from any device of choice (almost &#8211; when am I gonna get access from my car stereo receiver, anyway?). A huge bonus is the ability to share songs and playlists with others.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Some sites like <a href="http://drownedinsound.com/" target="_blank">Drowned in Sound</a> and <a href="http://wearehunted.com/" target="_blank">We Are Hunted</a> already do this on cloud-based music streaming service <a href="http://www.spotify.com/en/" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It will be interesting to see if Moof &#8211; or a related site &#8211; will eventually partner with content providers to enable full-on access to everything in my iTunes library whether it be live versions, remixes, rarities, or originals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-285 aligncenter colorbox-286" title="tape-usb" src="http://www.nicolecifani.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tape-usb-300x218.jpg" alt="USB Tape from http://www.geekologie.com" width="270" height="196" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m a sucker for streaming content and the possibilities thereof. Not just because having &#8216;content in a cloud&#8217; sounds sexy or because I don&#8217;t have cable at home and want to scratch a pop culture itch.</p>
<p>I believe that media should be accessible anytime, anyplace, from any device of choice.</p>
<p>From a user perspective it’s just convenient that way.</p>
<p>For example I want my music library with me at all times. I want access to my eMusic, Rhapsody, Last.fm, Blip and Slacker accounts and my purchases from Amazon Mp3 and iTunes. In a perfect world I would have all of these things with me at all times so I can cue up a song in the car, at the gym or at home. I want to tag a song on the go, share it with friends, and add it to a playlist to listen to later.</p>
<p>I want to tag a song I hear and reference it later quickly and easily.</p>
<p>I realize that there are many hurdles from both biz and tech standpoints for this to happen anytime soon. But do I think that syndicating content across platforms and creating ops for ad revenue there could be a good thing.</p>
