Featured Product of PC Music & Video Magazine
(EnjoyMyMedia Transmitter included on bundled DVD)

"The popularity of digital media means that you're almost certain to want to share files with friends and relatives. The trouble is that often photos & video files are too big for email and using conventional file sharing services mean that your files are open to anyone. EnjoyMyMedia is a clever system that allows you to share your files only with specified individuals in a safe & secure way.

You can specify particular files and folders to be shared and you can even set times when the media will be available. You then email your friends with a personalized invitation and they can log in to view your channel. The shared media can be viewed in a browser program, via social networking sites or even on a Wii games console, so it doesn't matter if your friends don't have PCs. They get thumbnail previews of the media so that they can easily choose which files to view. You can share any type of file, though EnjoyMyMedia is particularly suited to pictures, videos and audio. It's a great way of sharing photos of an event such as a wedding, a holiday or a party.

Family Web Watch review

"EnjoyMyMedia offers families and friends a way to share their personal content with other members, and do so easily and securely. There are many options available online that do this, but EnjoyMedia focuses on simplicity ...

Now you may be wondering why not just email this stuff to whomever? Well, you can do that, but the problem is that you run the risk of bogging down the recipient’s inbox and it’s not entirely safe. Only EnjoyMyMedia members you specifically invite can view content you share using their service; uninvited strangers can not.

The ways they can offer users to view the content is unique, too. Netcasting is their way of distributing such content in channels. With a simple installation of a program they offer for free, you then have the ability to browse your computer for the files you want to share with others. When you’re ready to share, just send your recipients and email containing a link to view the content. They’ll become subscribers at that point. The neat thing is that they don’t need to download anything to view the content. They just choose their preferred method of delivery and they can sit back and enjoy what you send them in a way they want to."

"I have recently found a good alternative way to share photos, video, and other media with family and friends. It is called Enjoymymedia and it’s what I consider a really a simple to use and effective site.

Using this website you are allowed to secretly allocate photos, videos, and documents with/without family and friends who are not at ease with photo-sharing site log-ins or interested in signing up on several photo sites or social networks. This site is made for people who are not geeks, computer or internet experts, but show interest in sharing. So, basically anyone can use and enjoy Media sharing at EnjoyMyMedia.com.

It is very simple to use and it’s also very easy to sign up and set up a channel, as it requires only ... three minutes.

In my opinion you can now just use this service which allows you to view your photo or video album without any hassle."

EnjoyMyMedia.com is "a password protected digital media sharing site geared for families which lets you privately share all media types online with only your friends/family. So you can digitally share things like your vacation pictures, videos of your child's soccer game or dance recital, and even scans of your scrapbooking projects etc.
...
What's cool is that once you set it up, you can sit back and relax. Anytime you put a media file in a folder on your computer that you've designated for the program, it will automatically make it available to those friends and family who are privately password protected to view your stuff. No uploading required so it's quite fast and easy."

"My posts on kids and privacy turned up some good recommendations for
alternative ways to share photos, video, and other media with family and
friends. I've been trying out one of them-EnjoyMyMedia-and I've found it to
be a simple and effective way to share photos and other media with my
parents
...
My parents have a "Dory's Family" netcast on their My Yahoo! page, and my
mom loves it. They've had trouble downloading photos I've sent via email in
the past, and they're not crazy about signing up on photo sites, so this is
a great solution. I transmitted a file with photos from my daughter's 8th
grade semi-formal, my son's baseball games and jazz ensemble concert, and my 4th grader's Battle of the Books day at school. I think we've hit on
something that works well for them."

"Het voornaamste verschil met alternatieven als Flickr en YouTube is dat de bestanden rechtstreeks gedeeld worden van uw eigen pc. U hoeft dus niet urenlang te uploaden om uw hele collectie te delen ...

EnjoyMyMedia biedt een eenvoudige manier om bestanden te delen met mensen die zelf geen computergeniën zijn."

"The main difference between alternatives such as Flickr and YouTube is that you share your files directly from your own pc and you do not have to spend hours uploading your complete collection ...

Enjoymymedia offers a simple way to share files with people who are not
computer savvy.
