Ultimate Downloads For Your Computer 7

by Joshua Fruhlinger on September 3, 2008 at 12:00 AM



Simplify Media

Simplify Media is, by all counts, a magical software suite for your iPhone and computer that allows you to listen to your (and your friends') music just about anywhere. The process is simple enough: First you install an IM-like application on your computer and direct it to your music library. Then, install an app on your iPhone or another computer, and, as long as you have a data (3G or otherwise) connection, you can listen to your entire music library anywhere. Yes, that's right -- you could be walking down the street listening, via your iPhone, to your computer's entire 200-gigabyte (GB) music stash. You can also use Simplify to listen to your music collection on any Web-connected computer.

What's more, Simplify has a community element that allows you to befriend people (up to 30) with whom you may want to share music. As long as your friends are running their copies of Simplify, you can listen to their music as well. As for DRM issues, Simplify will play iTunes-store-purchased songs on any computer that's signed in to your Simplify account, but won't play non-DRM-free, iTunes-purchased tunes on your iPhone.

Best of all, Simplify is only $3.99.
