I'd love hearing more drop.io alternative suggestions from others. Dropbox and Tonido have been mentioned, but they really aren't the same thing.

My band lives in various areas of the country, and we share mp3 files via drop.io. We're able to comment on each riff/song, link directly to the files, get updates via RSS, and even listen to the mp3s without downloading them.

Anything else like this exist?

For that specific need you should use http://soundcloud.com

Thanks for the suggestions. SoundCloud would be great, except keeping the riffs/music private is important and there's no secret link sharing in the free account (the lite account is €30). Still searching for alternatives... nothing I've seen yet is as good as drop.io for this purpose.

I'll have to give a plug for my company Indaba Music here - http://indabamusic.com

Our site was pretty much designed exactly for this use case - the free account allows for private sessions, in-song commenting and in-session discussion.

As an aside, an interesting difference with Tonido is they also sell a "plug-in server" for their service too: http://www.tonidoplug.com/ I assume it's based on a SheevaPlug / Marvell Plug Computer style device.
