It’s that time of year again: Coachella 2011 is upon us. Even though we are all a little bummed that all those Daft Punk rumors proved false, there are still some awesome acts.

But wait-is it possible that you, just like us, don’t have enough vacation time to head out to Indio, California (middle of nowhere) and spend three days camping out in the desert?

Ricky Gervais may have made the Golden Globes a bit more tense than usual, but don’t hold that against the winners. In case you didn’t have time to catch them in the theaters, mSpot Movies is streaming many of the winners and nominees (and more will become available in the coming months):

Smartphones, PCs, Tablets, and now TVs. Next? Your Toaster maybe?

Web-based TV is the latest platform to join the ranks of mSpot supported platforms. We want you to be able to access your music and your movie rentals from everywhere - on your computer, tablet, mobile phone and now: your television.

Everyone is invited to submit one nomination per category per day through Friday night, December 24th, 2010 at 11:59PM PST. Once you nominate a company in a category, you are able to share your nominations through Twitter and Facebook, or you can embed a badge or link to the nomination. Your vote counts. Thanks for voting for mSpot!!!

mSpot’s iPhone App will move your iTunes to the Cloud. So what’s the big deal? It’s the end of constantly updating your iTunes library on every single one of your devices- iPhone, iPad, and computer. Moving your iTunes to the Cloud means instant access to your music collection-on the device of your choosing.

This month we hit a fantastic milestone for mSpot with over 500,000 downloads for our music in the cloud service – nice work everyone!

We have some treats to share – a few new features that we think you’re really going to like:

• Talk to your music? Google Voice is now working with mSpot – now you can just ask your phone to “play the Suburbs” album or “listen to U2”.
• Upload or delete by artist or album. From the web player, it’s now easier to clear out music you don’t want anymore and add the new stuff. Look for the dropdown menu next to songs, albums, and artists.
  

You asked for it, and we’re giving it to you. More music storage = more music anytime, anyplace. Here’s how it works: 2GB (1600 songs) is still free, but if you want to add more music you can: We’re offering 40 gigabytes of storage (~32,000 songs) for $3.99 a month. That’s about 1600 hours, 66 days, or just over 2 months of non-stop listening. How does that sound?

Woo Hoo! After beginning the process last year, mSpot, the music cloud service, is finally live. During our month long private beta program, we’ve received a lot of great feedback and suggestions that we’ve incorporated into the service and continue to add to. Please let us know what you think of the public version.
