Useful Thing of the Day: Dusty Tunes

June 18th, 2009 / 1 Comment »

A person’s music collection can give you a pretty good idea as to what type of person they may be. In a world where we find ourselves sharing more and more online; it seems only natural to share our music collection also. How many profiles, after all, have you run across that say “a little of everything” for a person’s musical preference? After all, it’s kind of hard to summarize the extent of what anyone listens to in a sentence.

Dusty Tunes gives the perfect solution with the capabilities to have your very own webpage dedicated to sharing your iTunes library with the world. The list is put into tidy categories by artist and each artist link gives the user the ability to listen to previews, get information, or make a purchase.

That way you can keep those dirty, embarrassing pleasures to yourself. While Dusty Tunes does have support for other media players, you still need to have iTunes installed to use it. So if you don’t have iTunes, you are out of luck. Don’t want to share everything with the world? No problem! Dusty Tunes also gives you the choice to upload a playlist instead of your entire collection.

I’ll be putting a list together to share with you all very shortly. So check back and see how mindboggling the deviations are in my musical tastes.
