About Us

MediaMaster is revolutionizing the way music fans experience their digital music. By hosting and storing consumers’ music collections online, MediaMaster makes it easy to stream your music to any computer, a broad range of mobile phones, and internet-connected living room devices.  

The idea sprang from our frustration at being unable to have full access to our large music collections away from our computers.  Since we’re techno-heads who had already launched 3 companies, we decided to build a solution.  We combined with some industry insiders to create a world class team to pull it all together.  Now, we – and you – can listen anytime, anywhere.

MediaMaster is a privately held company based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Know our music. Know us:

  Eric Hixon

  Likes his music to be with him. With some obscure tastes in older music, he finds it's easier to have it in the cloud so he can always get to it. Before founding Mediamaster, Eric worked at Yahoo! on Yahoo! Calendar and its related PIM products. He ended up there when Yahoo! bought Webcal, a company he founded with some NYU friends. It was the first web-based calendar – back in 1995.
