iDisc Streaming of Your iTunes Songs
There is a great deal of excitement happening in the Mac-space about iDisk streaming of your tunes. Before you get too excited, read MacWorld’s take:
“In a nutshell, streaming media in the background with its MobileMe iDisk app is a marginally useful feature that Apple added (and mentioned) in July. But it isn’t quite time to break out the credit cards and bubbly in celebration of “iTunes in the cloud” yet.”
Here’s the post that started today’s discussion from MP3.com:
“This is not “iTunes in the cloud” but it is definitely moving the Cupertino company in that direction. First off there is no automated way to get all your iTunes music to your iDisk account. To load files to iDisk you have to select individual files and upload them from your browser. (Apple does let you sync Calendars, Contacts, Bookmarks, etc directly from OSX but excludes music files.)

Beatles are on iTunes - It’s Official
Don’t get me wrong I am a big Beatles fan. Perhaps that’s why this is a non-story for me. I already have burned near every Beatle song from my legally purchased CD’s to my iTunes account. Will I be making any more purchases? I already own this music, and it’s on my iPod legally.
So I suppose this is for my children (who by the way, have my music collection on their iPods and are avid Beatle fans already as well. Perhaps this is for my Grandchildren? Perhaps this is really for Steve, and it’s another battle he won in music. Congrats Steve. I am glad the Beatles are on iTunes. It just isn’t going to change my life.
Now, should you bring my iTunes library to the cloud sooner rather than later…that’s news Steve.
