MP3.com has launched a service that allows users to store, customise and listen to music anywhere using a Web-enabled device.
My.MP3.com, which is currently in beta, will allow users to listen and buy music online using an MP3 account, and store CDs on the web site.

A user places a CD into a PC and the music is moved automatically into their MP3 account. Once the CD has been verified and stored, owners can create a virtual jukebox, make customised playlists and use MP3.com to listen to their entire CD library from anywhere in the world.
"This secure technology bridges the interests of artists, labels and consumers," said Michael Robertson, MP3.com's chairman and chief executive. "Once you own a CD you can listen to it anywhere in the world through MP3.com.
"Not only will music fans be able to listen to their own CD collection on a standard PC, but they will be able to listen to them through the wide assortment of new Internet appliances that are being developed for the market."
MP3.com said it is hoping users will test the functionality of the beta service when the new products are finalised.
No final date for the launch has been announced.
