WIRE)--Clemson University senior Chris Beauchamp is launching iShareTunes
2.0, a quick and easy music sharing app for iPhone and iPad where
you
can share and play music with friends. Messages, badges and ranks
add to

said Beauchamp, author of iShareTunes.
Apple, Google and Facebook are all validating a shift towards
mobile,
social and streaming music. Digital Rights Management is being
abandoned
in favor of all-you-can-eat music. In this world, the challenge
shifts
from buying music to sharing, discovering and enjoying music. Some
exciting new players in this space include:
-
Rdio ? a streaming and sharing service
-
Pandora ? the music genome
-
Blip.fm ? Twitter for music
-
8Tracks.com ? streaming playlists
iShareTunes 2.0 adds to this conversation by proposing that a more
?playful? social approach can make sharing and discovering music
more
fun. iShareTunes is offered today for free download due to
sponsorship
by Servo Software, Inc.
