Mojo lets you share songs easily with friends in iTunes across a network and the Internet. Users in the same network are automatically added to your friends list while Internet users have to be added manually. Users need to create an account when they first run Mojo which functions as a identifier both in the network and on the Internet.

Users are added by typing in their username that they have chosen during registration. Added users have to confirm the new connection and once they do you get notified if they are online just like you would when using Instant Messengers for instance.

You can easily browse the music collection of users that are online in a window that pretty much looks like an iTunes window. Songs that are already in your own collection are greyed out while protected songs are red. Both cannot be transfered. Every song can be listened to and downloaded with just a click of the mouse button.

Using Mojo would in my opinion make much sense in large networks, Universities and Schools for instance with hundreds of users. It’s definitely a nice idea.

A client is available for Mac and Windows. Via Lifehacker and Make Use Of.

I always thought that there had to be a better way to share songs. (note to RIAA: my own created music, nothing you have to worry about) When you connect the iPod to the computer it will not show the songs, it will only show notes, calendar and contacts. (could differ from iPod to iPod). Sharepod is the tool I was looking for. Instead of installing the freeware to a computer you copy it to the iPod and run it from there.

All you need to do is copy the contents of Sharepod to your iPod when it is connected to your computer. When you connect the iPod to another computer you simply execute the Sharepod executable and it should load just fine. Some common files are needed on the windows computer which should normally be there. The author links to them from his site if they are missing.

Once open you can copy music from and to the iPod. Please note that you should turn of auto-sync in iTunes if you want to run that software on your own computer and add files from your friends to the iPod. If you do not turn it off it will delete all files that have not been added using iTunes.
