Store all your songs online and access them anywhere

I've been a fan of a site called LALA.COM for quite a while now, initially using it as a place to trade cds (you'd create "have" and "want" lists and LaLa would help you set up trades with other users, even providing you the postage-paid envelopes). Then Lala became a music site not unlike Rhapsody or others: you can listen to music, or pay 89 or 99 cents to download. I began using it as my one-stop site for new music, listening to whole albums and downloading the songs I really liked. In many cases I would also list that cd as a "want", and see if I could trade on of my cd's for it.

Recently LaLa added another cool feature to their site: a music locker. This lets you store songs from your personal library on Lala's Web servers, and then access them from any computer later. Instead of having a Windows Media Player library at home, and then a second library at work, and then a third library on our laptop, I can now just log into my account at Lala and listen to any song I own. Granted, it's not top-notch sound quality, and the interface is sometimes a little awkward, but it's all there: every single song I have had on any computer I own.
