Ride the Bandwagon

Bandwagon launches tomorrow; it purports to back up your entire iTunes library over the Internet to their servers (or alternatively to your Amazon S3 box) for a flat rate. Updates occur automatically in the background. Sounds like a good idea, if they can pull it off. (Mac only at the moment, apparently.)

So I’m trying it out now — it claims it will take nearly five days to back up the 4270 items in my library (~20 GB). On the other hand, I don’t have to keep popping DVDs into my drive. (On the gripping hand, I’m not paying $24/year to backup my files to my own online storage — hopefully the syncing features will come along soon…)
