DOT.TUNES Releases HookUp 1.0 Giving iTunes Users Remote Access to Multiple Libraries

New York, NY, April 25, 2008 --(PR.com)-- DOT.TUNES, the outfit that created the ultimate iTunes web server, has just released the ultimate iTunes companion: HookUp. While DOT.TUNES 4 enables you to access your iTunes media library from a host of devices (web browsers, mobile phones, gaming platforms, etc.), HookUp enables streaming and downloading of music & movies directly through the iTunes interface. HookUp has been designed for the iTunes user, so there is no additional technology to learn.

Unlike other applications, HookUp goes further than simply sharing the user’s iTunes library. HookUp enables the user to play and download from every computer running iTunes in a remote network, and to download from every iTunes in a local network. HookUp also allows sharing with unlimited friends/users, and even remote iPhoto sharing.

What makes HookUp revolutionary, is its capacity to access remote iTunes library neighborhoods. This is an iTunes sharing first. HookUp has a simple installation, and its streamlined invitation process means you and your friends are sharing in no time.

HookUp has an intuitive interface that shows who’s connected, as well as all the libraries that you can access. It also has an iTunes toolbar, from which you can initiate downloads, monitor activity and access available shares. HookUp shares show up in iTunes, in the same way that local shares do.

HookUp is destined to be the next great social networking application, because with HookUp, you aren’t simply compiling a friend list, but creating a network of exchange. When you HookUp, you can instantly connect to any of your friends to share songs, playlists, movies or videos. It also includes integrated features like Chat and Email, providing seamless communication with other connected users while they're online.
