If you have an Android phone and you're worried about losing all those songs you bought with the Amazon MP3 app, MP3Tunes is here to save you. MP3Tunes, which has heretofore been relegated as a piece of software for PCs only, now has an app on Android that lets users back up their music to remote servers. That makes it easier to not only save those precious MP3 files, but also eliminates the hassle of transferring the files from the phone to a computer which involves cables and/or microSD card adapters, and who wants to deal with that?

Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but an anonymous source told TechCrunch that the price was around $30 million. The acquisition vaults HP into the battle for mobile music services. Shown here, Melodeo's Nutsie for Android lets users access iTunes playlists on their mobile phone. HP has acquired the company, and now could bring the service to its WebOS mobile platform. I've written about Melodeo's products a couple of times, most recently in January, when I got a demo of a forthcoming update to Melodeo's Nutsie app for Android phones. Nutsie (the name is an anagram of iTunes) runs on several mobile platforms, and gives users a way to get music from the iTunes library on their computer to a mobile device over the air.
