Streampad is a web music player that allows you to access your music library from any internet connected computer. Streampad is written by Dan Kantor, who I had the fortune of interviewing a few weeks ago. Dan's previous work included development work at del.icio.us / Yahoo, and he's now working on Streampad full time. The site was featured on TechCrunch a month or so ago.

Once you signup for Streampad, you'll be prompted to download a Java applet that will scan your iTunes library or hard drive for music. This desktop application is what will allow you to play your own music anywhere on the web: when you're on your main computer, that application needs to be running. If it is, you can then connect over the web to that application, and play the music that its found on your machine.

Streampad integrates a number of cool web applications, including Last.fm, MP3Tunes, Google Maps and others. You can upload your stats to Last.fm, store your music on MP3Tunes, view other users in a Google Maps view.

Streampad has released a useful tool that allows you to stream music from your blog into a Streampad player. A number of sites are using this useful plugin. They've setup a blog that alllows you to keep up to date with new features easily.

The site is really unique in that it brings a whole lot of services together into one compelling application. This is the type of application that Apollo is perfect for: a strong desktop presence with the need to integrate various web applications.
