The future of home entertainment: MediaMaster
Home entertainment is switching to digital. Even movie rental places like Netflix are delivering their goods via bits that’ll be stored on a hard drive. So, how do you manage all your music and entertainment stuff? Media Master has a really great answer. Here Neil Day, CEO, and Eric Hixon, CTO, show me their system and talk about the home entertainment industry.

Scoble videos sync to iPod and play fine. When downloaded to iPhone, videos play fine for a minute or two, then audio drops out and a few seconds later the video stops. Any ideas??

What stops multiple users using one account?
Bingo - you’ve got one big collection, that multiple people access… Then presumably can redownload?
I like the concept, but the thought of uploading a few Gb let alone Terabytes. bbrrrrrr.
The thing is, Time Machine gives you the back up - then all you need is the secure side of your OS (.Mac doing your music and videos etc).
The finding of album art is cool - why don’t they resell their concept as doing that? It’d be a small upload (not all the files) and they could reqrite the metadata of your files — it’s a big market, as it’s such a hassle to organise a music collection and make it neat to decent OCD standard (picture, tags, lyrics etc)

People won’t want to upload what they might not use - why not stream?

Back to my mac is a concept that would be useful for grannies fearful of setting up firewalls, servers, and streaming…
