SAN DIEGO, Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday's hottest gift, the Sony PlayStation3, has become even hotter with new technology from MP3tunes -- http://www.mp3tunes.com/ -- that turns the gaming device into a home stereo system. Developed by Ade Rutter for MP3tunes, owners of the PS3 can now wirelessly stream their personal music collections from their own MP3tunes Music Locker using the console's controller. Music stored in MP3tunes Music Lockers can also be played on Windows Mobile devices, the Logitech Squeezebox, Chumby and more, thanks to MP3tunes' open API (Application Programming Interface).

"My vision for MP3tunes is that a person's digital music collection will play not just through any web browser but through all their devices," commented Michael Robertson, CEO of MP3tunes. "To help reach our goal, we sponsored a $10,000 contest, challenging the best developers to help us get people's music to every device and service. Full streaming of the Music Locker through the Sony PlayStation3 is just the first of many exciting announcements MP3tunes will be making about how we will deliver our users' music to every popular device they own."
