iTunes has allowed you to listen to music from your friends’ libraries for years now, but some may remember a brighter age, when you could not only listen to music from other people on your local network, but also people all over the Intertron.
Deusty Designs’s Mojo is putting that functionality back into the equation. The app lets you keep a list of friends whose music you want to listen to, and allows you to download tracks from their library (not including, of course, icky DRM-infested tracks). There’s a free version and a $11 pay version (it even comes with two extra licenses for your buddies)—the latter adds unlimited friends and the ability to subscribe to your friends’ playlists: anytime your friend adds music to said playlist, it will be automatically downloaded to your computer.
The application looks pretty simple to set up, and there’s even a Windows beta for your non-Mac friends (I no longer have any after the last round of forced conversions). Do it for the music, man.

Cool App, but how is the downloading part legal??
Yeah, that's not going to face legal challenges.
