MP3tunes streams iTunes music library to TVs with Roku player

Now MP3tunes has joined hands with Roku to let music lovers enjoy their favorite iTunes tracks on the home TV through Roku players.

Listeners may select the tracks, artists or playlists that they wish to hear by browsing through them. Users can store up to 2,500 songs on their Roku players thanks to the built-in storage capacity of about 10GB.
