| MyMP3Storage,
http://www.mymp3storage.com,
introduced the first Internet service dedicated to the free online storage,
retrieval and sharing of MP3 music files. MyMP3Storage will store up to
50 megabytes of MP3 files free of charge. The service makes it easy for
music lovers to store their MP3's and share their favorite music with friends
as well.
MyMP3Storage is powered by FreeDrive, http://www.freedrive.com, the leading provider of free Internet disk drives. The advertising supported site immediately helps to fuel the growth of the MP3 industry by offering a massive 50 Megabytes of MP3 online storage for free.
Christopher Sandner, co-developer of the site, explained, "Fifty Megabytes of free storage is enough to store more music than is found on a typical CD. Collectors of MP3 files are constantly adding to their collections. MP3 files require considerable space, and collectors are constantly on the go between home, school and work. Many collectors compete with friends to decide who compiles the best playlists." "With MyMP3Storage, music fans can store their newly acquired files, retrieve them from anywhere, and share their files with friends. Or they can use the service to keep their files private and away from others who use their computer." He concluded, "If a user wants to store other types of files, such as documents, spreadsheets and graphic files, they can click on the FreeDrive link on the site and sign up for 20 meg. of free Internet file storage." MyMP3Storage
is a private service offered by Nextec Communications Corp., a private
company located in Chicago, IL that is dedicated to enhancing the online
experience of MP3 fans worldwide. The site is advertising supported, and
subscribers to the free service agree to receive e-mail promotions exclusively
related to items in which they have expressed a personal interest. The
service is fast and reliable and hosted on multiple servers at the GTE/BBN
Air Connectivities Center in Chicago. Oracle database technology and 10
mb of bandwidth assures the fastest uploads and downloads available anywhere.
