There's a bit more to know about this too:
The applet blows and is ugly. Both can be fixed. I did a simple writeup on a simple hack to change the UIs 'theme' at my blog. But what is really amazing(!!) is that now mp3tunes has an API!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The MP3tunes Oboe API consists mainly of an easy to use REST interface which gives you access to all data for a user within the MP3tunes Locker service."
Wow. This means I can use perl to make it work however I want it to. Awesome. Check out the documentation here

Also, the online mp3 'locker' app uses mouse functionality that is totally incompatible with a touchscreen interface..There's really no way to get music to play except via the oboe applet, which means you're stuck using playlists. But now they have a mobile rendition of the mp3 locker at: http://mp3tunes.com/m. It will serve you .pls files that the media player can load up. Very nice. I now have unlimited streaming music storage/playback anywhere I'm online for free! And at no large cost to system performance, unlike some of the other mp3 storage sites I've tried. Pretty sweet!
