TuneWatch Automatically Detects And Backs Up Online Music Purchases, Additions

SAN DIEGO, CA. (Top40 Charts/ MP3tunes) - MP3tunes � www.mp3tunes.com � has announced a dynamic new product, TuneWatch, which is integrated with its recently launched music storage and optimization software, LockerSync. TuneWatch automatically detects the addition of all new DRM-free music, whether purchased from Amazon, iTunes, Wal-Mart or directly from an artist's website like Radiohead, and adds it to the user's online Music Locker. TuneWatch also instantly sees the new content from personally ripped CDs, immediately backing it up in the Music Locker for secure storage and anywhere access.

After creating a Music Locker and launching LockerSync the first time, the consumer's Locker will remain in perfect sync with that user's digital music additions, whether singles, albums or even playlists � no settings to set, no action required.

'With bands like Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails selling their own music, coupled with all the online music stores, music fans have more and more ways to buy DRM-free music, and they should be comfortable that those purchases are safe and secure - and theirs forever,' commented Michael Robertson, CEO of MP3tunes. 'Many people have also already spent long hours digitizing their CD collections with iTunes - TuneWatch provides a very simple, automatic solution for safe-keeping, as well as many ways to listen to their music beyond the iPod or tethered PC.'

TuneWatch is the latest in a series of innovative products developed by MP3tunes to make it simple for users to store and enjoy their digital music in one central place - online. LockerSync 3.0, recently released in beta, delivers increased speed and simple syncing of a digital music collection to an online Music Locker. Additionally, the Locker allows users to utilize Tune-Up track-tagging technology, enjoy existing or create new playlists, and instantly listen to their music collection through any web browser, as well as numerous devices, including Logitech's Squeezebox, the Nokia N800 Web Tablet, TiVo and, in Europe, the complete line of NOXON iRadio devices.

The MP3tunes Music Locker offers free unlimited storage and bandwidth for consumers to store and access their music collections online. A premium Music Locker, for $40 per year, enables access beyond the user's computer, delivering streaming music to net-connected devices, including internet tablets, mobile phones, home stereo appliances and more. The Music Locker supports streaming and syncing for most music formats, including MP3, WMA, M4A, and OGG. For more information and a free Music Locker, visit www.mp3tunes.com/lockersync3.
