"When we first launched JukeFly, it
was primarily geared towards allowing a really easy
way to access all your music from anywhere. We did
this by having the user install a music server app
on the PC, which then synced up the songs to our
servers. The song files still reside on the user PC
- only the metdata like song-name, artist-name,
album-name etc. is saved on our server. This
architecture allows the user to login to JukeFly
from anywhere and stream his/her music.
We soon realized that this approach has severe
limitations. In order to listen to your music, the
music server PC has to be left turned on and online
all the time. Listening to friends' music or one of
the other JukeFly users' music was restricted by the
users bandwidth and legal limitations. Also, if you
didn't have any music personally, JukeFly was not an
app for you.
One of the most popular features of
JukeFly 1.0 was the ability to watch music videos.
And you could do this even when your personal music
server was not available. Extending this concept, we
redesigned the entire JukeFly app so that instead of
relying on just your personal music collection, you
can access all kinds of music available online from
popular sites like YouTube. Also, we gather the
latest in music in the form of albums and charts
from various sources. This makes checking out the
latest music a breeze. So now, if your personal
music server is not available, you can still listen
to all your music. Also, if you don't have any
music, you can still listen to online versions of
any song and even save them in your playlists. This
radical change in the way we access music allows for
easy sharing too. You can now send links to any
songs/albums etc. to friends/family or Tweet about
them."
