After a quick private beta period, MSpot has opened their cloud streaming service to everyone, allowing for 2GB free and unlimited streaming of your own music libraries from the cloud.
The service works to your PC, Mac and Android-based smartphones or netbooks.
If you have over 2GB music you want to have everywhere (and most do), then you can purchase an MSpot storage plan for $3 a month (12 GB), $5 a month (22 GB), $10 a month for 52 GB or $14 per month for a massive 102 GB.
MSpot's media player works in IE, Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
If you are running an Android device with firmware 2.1 or higher, you can download an app "that can set aside local phone storage and both stream and download songs to whatever amount of space you allow it to take up on your SD card or built-in storage," says CNet.
For audiophiles, the company has shrunk the tracks to 48kbps AAC+ format, which will undoubtedly anger fans of FLAC or other HD file types but will help reduce bandwidth strain while still keeping great quality.
