If you own a digital music library , you might have faced one of the following problems:

• Keep upgrading the external hard drive storage capacity, if new music is consistently being added.
• Spend a lot of time doing backups.
• Carrying the hard drive around is cumbersome, and there's a risk it could be damaged in transit.
• Your music accessible only from hard drives.

By using Amazon S3 for storage, you can expand the music storage capacity, access music from anywhere in the world, access music directly from iTunes on laptop - not with an external digital music device. Amazon S3 is the solution that allows you to “ access without an excess ”.

Bucket Explorer   is a utility for Mac, Linux and Windows, which simply acts as a “facilitator” in storing data on Amazon S3 server.
