Who started GetPlaylists?

Complete Playlists was formed by a group of technologists and music fans to solve a problem that was bothering us. The problem was that you could not use any of our iTunes playlists on a SanDisk or a Blackberry, or our iTunes playlists in Windows Media Player, or any playlists from one PC on a second one. Playlists were simply not interoperable. This matters because playlists are used in digital music for syncing music between MP3 players and playing music in MP3 players. You need to be able to reuse playlists you have and to get new playlists from your friends and elsewhere.
