Hi All -

I don't know how many people have used the Beam-it service from mp3.com, but 
I think its pretty cool. Its software you download that basically registers 
a CD running in your CD player with their server. Then you are allowed to 
access a streamed MP3 copy of the CD from their site. The idea is that you 
can load up your CD's at home and listen to straemed copies on the net at 
work. Note it does not load an MP3 copy on your machine.

But I have found that it is also good way for a group of people to have a 
common music library they can pull from, just by using the same account and 
password.

So, in accordance with the collaborative spirit of fluxlist, I set up one 
for fluxlist and put a couple CD's on it.

the URL is http://my.mp3.com
login ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
password: fluxlist

They don't have evrey CD in the world in their database, but I've been 
pretty successful  in "beaming things up " so far.

You need a player capable of playing straemed MP3's like winamp or windows 
media player.

Please feel free to add any CD's that might be of interest to the group. I 
started it out with

Gavin Bryars and Tom Waits: Jesus Blood...
Pavement: Teror Twilight
Charles Mingus: Mingus Mingus Mingus MIngus Mingus
Jim O'Rourke: Bad Timing
Aphex Twin: Richard D. James

I haven't experienced any problems with groups sharing one account.
Enjoy

Alex
