Totally Free Apps: Lala
With the days of applications being a soley downloadable executable in the past, we start 2010 by renaming our “Totally Free Download” to “Totally Free Apps.” We will feature Computer, smartphone, and web apps that are all of course…Totally Free.
This week we feature the web-app, Lala. From CrunchBase.com:
Lala is a hub for online music discovery and purchasing. Users can listen for free music, adding tracks to their playlist as they surf. members who download a plugin can turn Lala into an online music locker that syncs their desktop music libraries to their Lala account. Long uploads aren’t necessary. If Lala already has the song in their library, they simply unlock the file to you online.
We mentioned a month back that Apple had bought Lala, and we anticipate them rolling it into iTunes, so you may not want to go overboard with the purchase of online songs, but in the mean time, you can always get your freebies, and have an easy way to access all of your music from any computer!
