Time to dust off that barbecue grill, plug in the blender, and break out the summer party music. This Memorial Day, you’re free to gather with your friends and family, guzzle some frosty beers or pina coladas, and play your favorite tunes anywhere you like.  Our brave men and women in camouflage fought hard for your right to party, so don’t let them down now.

Just how will you celebrate freedom this holiday? Floating down a lazy river in an inner tube? Camping out with the kids at First Landing Park in Virginia Beach? Or maybe hiking and biking past gurgling streams and hot springs on Oregon’s McKenzie River Trail?

Even if you don’t make it past the plastic lounge chair in your own backyard, you’re certain to have your favorite music at your fingertips with our cloud-based music delivery service. Drag and drop your favorite patriotic country songs, like Brooks & Dunn’s “Only in America,” or choose high-energy pop tunes, like Adele’s “Rumor Has It,” into customized playlists for your holiday getaway.

Missing your favorite reggae song? Don’t fret. Shop our online music store for that must-have track. Sync your party playlists between your PC, MacBook, iPad, and cellphone, so you don’t miss a second of grooviness.

You can even dazzle your guests by choosing “intelligent” mode in our browser. Just click on “Account” and look under the “Themes” tab. Once activated, MyMusicCloud background shows a photo of each artist as his or her song plays.  

So let freedom rock and make this Memorial Day weekend truly memorable.

The Latest from Internet Week New York

Yummy iMac-shaped cupcakes, mounted Instagram galleries, and public tours inside the top-secret offices of Facebook and Gawker were just a few of the perks at this year’s Internet Week New York summit. Web stars like Tumblr’s David Karp and comics like Patton Oswalt mingled with the masses, while some of the 250 events tackled fun topics like internet dating, freestyle rapping and how to pitch the perfect cross-platform (TV, movie, Web, gaming, mobile) story.

The music and entertainment worlds are all abuzz with the phrase “cross-platforming,” but if you use MyMusicCloud, you’re already doing it. Cross-platforming simply means enjoying media, like music, photos, or TV shows, across different types of devices.

Our cloud-based music delivery service has been offering music lovers that freedom since we launched in September 2011. Remember when you were frustrated by your inability to sync your iTunes library from home with your work PC or Android phone? Because Apple wouldn’t let you have it your way, you were stuck pulling out your iPod, or worse: sitting in silence.

But with MyMusicCloud, you can keep your BlackBerry, Nokia, iPhone, Android, Sony Ericsson, or any other phone; hold on to your iMac, MacBook, net book, iPad, or PC. Your music collection is always available and in complete sync on all of your devices.

And you can even listen offline. Checking out Bruce Springsteen’s new single? Start it on one device, then seamlessly pick it up on another. Or share your favorite tunes on Facebook. Even double-check the lyrics with the click of a button.

So viva la internet and let the music play!

Remember when Mom ooohed and aahed over the macaroni necklace you made her in kindergarten? It was no Picasso, but she loved it because it was simple and heartfelt. This Mother’s Day, don’t spin your wheels needlessly trying to find the perfect Mother’s Day gifts for the moms in your life. Just make a Mother’s Day playlist of their favorite (or even your top 10!) songs.

It’s so easy with our cloud-based music delivery service. Once your music library is uploaded to our MyMusicCloud portal, you can pick and choose her favorite ballads, country music songs or musical showtunes from your collection, or browse our online music store for songs she’ll adore.

Is your mom wild about Mariah Carey? Can’t resist country crooner Martina McBride? Or maybe she loves the soundtrack from the musical “Dreamgirls”? They’re all in our store ready to download. Then simply create a playlist, select the song you want to add and click the “+” symbol to attach it.

In no time, you have a custom-mixed Mother’s Day soundtrack for your special lady. Play it when she wakes up Sunday morning, or on your way to brunch. What a cool and thoughtful surprise. Kind of like musical macaroni.

Not sure where her musical tastes fall? Here are some ideas to get you started:

10. You Are My Sunshine – Norman Blake

9. Little Girls – “Annie,” the Broadway Musical

8. You’ll Be In My Heart – Phil Collins

7. Que Sera Sera – Doris Day

6. In My Daughter’s Eyes – Martina McBride

5. I Hope You Dance – Lee Ann Womack

4. Already Gone – Sugarland

3. The Best Day – Taylor Swift

2. Mama’s Song – Carrie Underwood

1. Because You Loved Me – Celine Dion

Wishing you and the moms in your life a very Happy Mother’s Day.

MyMusicCloud Introduces a Convenient Web Toolbar

Paying bills online or reading work emails is a lot more fun with your favorite songs playing in the background, isn’t it? But who wants to have a dozen browser windows open at once?  Not us and we’re betting not you either. That’s why we’re helping you multitask with an exciting new product launch.

This week, MyMusicCloud is unveiling a new browser toolbar* to help you easily listen to your music collection, discover great music store promotions, and share songs with your Facebook friends without ever leaving the page you’re reading. No more juggling multiple tabs and windows while trying to play DJ.

Go ahead and give it a try. As a little thank you, we’ll even throw in 1 free gigabyte of music storage for our cloud-based music delivery service, just for trying the new toolbar app. (That’s more than 200 songs.)

But that’s not the only cool insider tool MyMusicCloud offers. Stumped by Nicki Minaj’s latest rhyme? Or trying to remember the words to the Beatles’ classic “I am the Walrus”? We make finding both of these things super easy: With the click of a button, we fetch the lyrics for you. No need to wonder, or open a separate browser window, or surf YouTube hoping someone transcribed the song accurately. Bam! It’s done.

And don’t forget, you can still sync your Dropbox music files with our cloud-based music delivery service. Rather than relying on an internet connection to stream songs every time you want to listen, you can play them offline too. Unlike cloud storage services on Google, Amazon, and Apple, Dropbox and MyMusicCloud are also available globally from Australia to Taiwan and beyond.

Tell us what you think of our new toolbar or any of these functions below.

*The toolbar is available for Windows OS users, and runs on Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers.
