Dropbox Cloud and Dedicated Music Service : The Backstage
Audiogalaxy was one of the pioneers of sharing of music, combining a web interface with a P2P client. The service was shut down in 2002 due to a lawsuit by the music industry. The team Audiogalaxy went forward, however, even in the face of these difficulties by creating FolderShare, a file sharing service similar to Dropbox, acquired by Microsoft in 2005. The core team of Audiogalaxy is then released by Microsoft in 2008 and worked once again to its music service focused on the possibility of a file sharing which was however, never launched. Eventually the company decided to concentrate again on a music streaming service that would send the mp3 from the hard drive of a user to mobile devices.
It is quite difficult to predict what will be the features of the service as both of the companies do have good past history of innovative way of development. But it is sure that there will be a free tier.
