Help with the creation of an music website?

I was considering the idea of creating a website that allows you to upload your iTunes library onto the net, where you can log into the site from any computer and listen to your music.

I don't see anything illegal about this, but I don't want iTunes royally f***ing me if I am doing something wrong. Does anyone know if this is illegal or not?

    I don't believe there is anything stopping you from listening to your music over the net while away from home. In fact almost all music players these days have such features, you don't need to create your own website to do this.

    If you don't like iTunes you can try WinAmp (www.winamp.com). All you need to do to listen to your music while away from home is use the music player to create a file server on you computer and ensure that it's left on and accessible via the net. You'll just need to remember the URL and port.

    If you really do want to do this over a website, for example to give your friends access to your music then there is plenty of free software out there to do that for you too. If you want someone to build it for you I run a small web-design company (www.Paris-WebSolutions.com) and would be happy to help. Sharing music online though is very illegal though so you do have to be careful with exactly what you're trying to do.
