by Kyle Monson Lala today launched a kind of free, browser-based iTunes competitor that lets users access their music libraries from anywhere they can access the Web. It's similar in look and feel to Anywhere.FM, which is basically a Web-based iTunes clone, but Lala adds some nifty features.

The way these services work is users upload their music libraries “to the cloud," after which they can be accessed from anywhere. It's great for accessing your music from public or work computers, or from Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

The initial upload process can take a long time though, and Lala streamlines it considerably by not actually requiring you to upload every song. The service analyzes each MP3 or iTunes Fairplay track in your library, and only uploads the ones it doesn't already have, giving you access to the rest on its own and saving you a bunch of time.

I never personally saw upload time as a problem; just set it to upload your library when you go to sleep one night and when you wake up, it's done. But if you don't want to do that or your music collection is too huge to be uploaded overnight, Lala's solved the problem for you.
