Mercora to Debut Mobile Music Service

Mercora Inc, which distributes software for webcasting music, is making a bid for the bourgeoning mobile music market with a new application that enables users of select wireless devices to listen to tracks stored on PCs or other users' computers. ABCNews reports.

"The Santa Clara-based firm was to debut the service, dubbed mercora M, on Monday.

The Mercora service works by streaming songs from a user's music library on their computer to select mobile phones or handheld PCs.

It also allows users to stream tracks broadcast on thousands of Internet radio channels, and eventually, songs from up to five other Mercora users, the company said. (Only mobile devices running the Windows Mobile 5.0 software will work with the service.)"
