The company’s placeshifting technology allowed users to stream music from their home computer collections to mobile devices without requiring data cables or memory cards.

Didiom, an acronym for “Digital Distribution of Music,” was founded in New York City in 2005 by Ran Assaf, who developed the concept during his graduate studies at Babson College.

[11] Didiom Pro featured redesigned mobile and desktop applications that allowed users to stream audio from their personal computers to devices such as the iPhone, iPod Touch, BlackBerry, and Windows phones.

By leveraging users’ computing resources—such as processing power, storage, and network bandwidth—the system reduced the need for centralized infrastructure, providing a cost-effective and scalable solution for media access.

By distributing workloads across users’ devices, Didiom’s P2P-based architecture allowed the system to scale organically, reducing server maintenance requirements and operational costs while offering a flexible and efficient solution for remote audio streaming.
