Not able to listen to your music at work because you aren’t allowed to put MP3s or anything else on your computer? Tired of leaving your music collection at home when you travel?
Try a really cool web interface to the rhapsody music service: Yottamusic!. All you need is a web browser and you can build a music collection. You just pay a monthly fee ($9.99?) and you can listen to all the music in the rhapsody library. You can also see what other users and friends are listening to and add their music to your library. I think this is what the future of music listening is going to look like. Combine Yottamusic with Pandora and you’ve got the next killer app.
