Mecanto is a Tel Aviv-based startup that provides a cloud-enabled music player and unlimited music storage and streaming service across web and mobile. The product syncs iTunes and PC folders from multiple desktops, offers accelerated uploads so music is playable before uploads finish, and supports common audio formats including MP3, M4A, WMA, OGG, and FLAC. It provides cross-platform apps (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Symbian), playlist editing, video support, and social features such as adding YouTube videos, sharing to Facebook and Twitter, and Last.fm scrobbling. Pricing is positioned as affordable: a free month trial followed by $20/year or $2/month; TechCrunch readers were offered 1,000 six-month free trials. Mecanto emphasizes worldwide availability and multi-desktop sync as differentiators against larger competitors. Financially, the company has raised $2 million to date from private angels and plans to seek additional capital as it scales globally.
