Stream your tunes anywhere with Sockso

I know many of you swear by music to be productive at work and at home, and I am definitely one of those people. Let’s face it, though, lugging about a bundle of CDs or even the svelte profile of an MP3 player isn’t terribly efficient in this everything’s-already-on-the-internet era, so why not your music too?

Enter Sockso, the swank little app that will bring your music to any browser of your choosing. Run the app, index your music, forward the port on your router, create your login, and take the address on the UI to work. The program has many more advanced options, but it sure is hard to beat five simple steps that brings your music to you… Anywhere.

I loves it.
14 Apr 2009 ~ 11:23am MiracleManS I'd love to use that...if only streaming music weren't against company policy.
14 Apr 2009 ~ 11:48am Kwitko I'd use that if only I could leave my computer on all day long.
14 Apr 2009 ~ 11:52am CB What makes it different from Mercora? just that it's private?
14 Apr 2009 ~ 1:07pm jared Why not just use Lala? Then you can access your entire collection when your computer is off.

14 Apr 2009 ~ 1:30pm jared That's very understandable. I'm not suggesting someone put their 100gb MP3 collection up on Lala and then delete it, but I think for people who have a crappy connection or don't want to worry about leaving their machine on it might be an alternative.
15 Apr 2009 ~ 3:29pm mas0n I've been using LaLa for almost 7 months now and still haven't uploaded more than 3% of my collection. I've just been uploading it as I want it out there and in some cases I've even paid for a web version of an album instead. I'm that lazy, so I can understand someone using a service like this instead.
