Apple's cloud music service 'WIPES your iPHONE'

What the Music industry wants...

It's not about if or not your connection is good or available making it impractical. It's worse than that.

It's about the music industry continuing to fight consumers keeping backups of their paid for music or even now even just keeping any copy of it. Apple is just the f#cktard facilitating it.

Hey you, get off of my cloud!

Call me old fashioned, but I'll stick with an off-line hard drive.

I can't see this system suiting many people

I watched the video when Steve Jobs introduced iCloud and thought it was all great and about time users had this facility...until he got to music. Maybe the system is fine if you bought all your tracks from iTunes or if iTunes has, and can recognise, your ripped CDs. But if there are items in your collection that don't match Apple's collection, the process is more of a kludge.

I watched Mr Jobs explain this kludge as simply and confidently as he could but I was not impressed or convinced. I thought, no way Jobsé.

For me, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. But it's not the end of the world (that's 2012), if you don't like it, don't use it.

Had this ability for a while now

Its called using Windows Home Server and an app for WP7 called My Home Server. Can stream my music or videos from anywhere (that I have signal :-( Thats the only thing iMatch has that is better)
