Its a dilemma everyone faces when planning their next travelling adventure – how are you going to take the tunes that will become the soundtrack for the trip? 
You could opt for the expensive choice of a nice big
iPod or Zune. On the plus side, you’ll be able to fit most of your music collection into one of these but if you’re anything like my friend Cat, you’ll have had it nicked before you’ve left the airport! If that happens you’ve not only lost your player, but there’s no way to get your tunes back whilst on the road – they are stuck on your computer back at home.
The other choice is to go for something small, cheap and essentially disposable – you should be able to pick up a 1Gb mp3 player for under a tenner. Now you don’t have to worry about the device, but you do have to worry about how to choose which tracks to take as not all your collection will fit on it. One way to cram more tracks in is to reduce the bitrate which makes the music files smaller but reduces audio quality.
Psonar offers a free service that compliments either of these choices. Before you set off, you can upload your entire music collection to Psonar’s cloud. You’ve then got access to your music from any internet cafe in the world. Where ever you find an internet connection, you can stream your own music back over the web or download it to your portable device whether its an iPod or a cheap USB mp3 player. If your iPod gets nicked and you need to get your collection back on to its replacement, or just want to refresh the playlist on your small mp3 player Psonar can help simply and efficiently transfer your music to you – where ever you are!
