StreamyTunes was created by six students at the Royal Institute of Technology during a project course, 4 weeks in May 2005. The students (aka The OctoGroup) are:

• Lisa Andersson
• Peter Blumenthal
• Mandus Elfving
• Daniel Jaurén
• Ousman Ndaw
• Niklas Udd

The main course goal of the project was creating a cool multimedia program using the project method Extreme Programming (XP).

The students decided to focus on sound processing, but felt that creating a normal sound player just wasn't cool enough. So, what else could be added to get that coolness out of the program? The answer turned out to be: listening to your home music files from your school computer without having doublets of the files. StreamyTunes was born!
