Every year, cell phone makers tempt consumers withthe next wave of sleeker, shinier mobile devices. Oftentimes, the transition is simple –as long asyou stay with the same brand. If you’re considering switching to a different operating system,however, you’re probably already asking yourself one crucial question. “How do I transfer mydigital music collection when I make the switch?”

Most mobile operating systems aren’t designed to play nicely with one another, making it more difficult than it should be to transfer music files from, let’s say, a Droid phone to aniPhone — or vice versa. In fact, music lovers still struggle to obtain access to all of theirmusic all of the time. Some songs are on the computer, others on the tablet, and even more may beon the phone.

According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, about 73 percent of iPad owners have another type of mobile phone other than an iPhone.

Digital clouds come close to solving the dilemma for users who want continuous access to their tunes, or those who may switch phones or carriers as newer versions are released.

ButTriPlay’s cloud solution, called MyMusicCloud, is on a whole new level.

MyMusicCloud provides a seamless solution that may be used across multiple devices simultaneously. For example, listen to all of your music on your Apple iPad together with anAndroid or Blackberry phone.

In short, MyMusicCloud will sync iTunes, Windows Media Player and Dropbox so your entire music collection follows you everywhere. Unlike other streaming options such as Pandora and

Spotify, you aren’t tethered to Internet access or USB cards to enjoy your music.

Since the evolved cloud enables people to listen to the same music files across virtually every type of phone, tablet or computer, switching from Android to iPhone or iPhone to Blackberrywill be a breeze.

Finally, someone heard the global call for flexibility in storing music; MyMusicCloud is available in 22 languages so far. Perhaps Apple’s music “i-opoly” will now be less pervasive,although many still anticipate the effects as some device makers contend with design and softwarepatents.

A concert is more than an evening excursion. This is your chance to go out in the town, mingle with friends, and discover the hottest new up-and-coming artists to add to your everyday playlist.

For some, this all seems like added pressure. Too much pressure, maybe. Is it possible to just sit back and enjoy a concert without fudging the details? We think so. Here are a few tips to guarantee the best of the best concert nights:

Know the Band

It’s every music-lovers dream: showing up to concerts on a whim, anywhere, anytime. Unfortunately, this is a recipe for social blunders. You know, the mistakes that your friends won’t stop reminding you about for weeks. Before you go, Google the artist, especially if they’re new in town. Is this a head-banging rock concert or a sophisticated evening of light jazz? Let the genre help you pick your attire and your attitude.

Plus-Ones Preferred

Spread the word, and make an event of it. Use this can’t-miss concert as a way to catch up with your pals, get to know the other folks in the office or surprise a special someone.

Keep It Classy

We know that you love your favorite drink. But keep it classy. No one wants to carry you home, and even fewer people still paid money to hear you singing along with the band.

Go Prepared

Make sure you have what you need for the evening. In addition to the basics, like your keys, your cell phone and a pair of shoes, you can actually walk in, take along the accessory you use to do what you do.
