Now, we here at Flashladybug have found an easy way of sharing and streaming music between ourselves, and our homes vs workplaces. Hamachi! and Itunes set to share music. However…what if you don’t have the ability to install 2 pieces of software, or just don’t want to be hassled with that? Well….theres Orb. Odd name…but hey, it works. Orb doesn’t just do music though…it also does photos, videos, tv, and documents. Its an interesting little online service. Its in beta right now, but it could turn out quite useful. Sadly, it shares some drawbacks with the Hamachi/itunes approach. It cannot share DRM’ed music, and your computer with the music must be on. It saps system resources and bandwidth, but with most modern computers and internet connections, its not much of a trouble.

This is merely an alternative to the hamachi/itunes method which brings it to any computer with a browser, although it does have its drawbacks. You can check it out at Orb
