s); and clients for music streaming and storage on desktop and mobile operating systems. Upload was available on the desktop client only; Style Jukebox enabled users to drop music files and folders in the music player to be automatically uploaded and synced with Style Jukebox cloud-based services and made available to any other of the user's computers and devices that also have the Style Jukebox client installed. Style Jukebox cloud-based services automatically transcoded formats to match the device's supported formats. For example, a 320kbit/s WMA was transcoded to 320kbit/s MP3 on iOS devices and FLAC lossless was transcoded to WMA lossless on Windows Phone devices.
