Autosync Technology Launched for Your MP3Tunes Locker

MP3Tunes.com has launched a new technology called Autosync that makes buying music and synchronizing it anywhere seamless. Users who are familiar with the MP3Tunes music storage service will know that an unlimited amount of music can be stored via a digital locker. Now, Autosync makes it possible to purchase music at work for example, and to synchronize it with your computer at home. This new technology makes moving your legally purchased music around hassle-free.

The CEO of MP3Tunes.com, Michael Robertson, said, "The PC is only the beginning. AutoSync for popular mobile devices is up next, and we look forward to rolling out AutoSync for your car's audio system by the end of this year."

EMI, one of the big four record labels, is currently suing MP3Tunes for copyright infringement. EMI argue that allowing users to even upload their legally purchased music breaks copyright laws. Even though the digital music lockers at MP3Tunes are private and no sharing with others is possible, the new Autosync technology gives significantly more opportunities to synchronize with any computer.

Could this inadvertently give EMI the ammo it needs to nail home a victory against MP3Tunes?
