iDisc Streaming of Your iTunes Songs
Don’t get too excited just yet…
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.) Secondly there’s no support for playlists so your iTunes playlist do not work in iDisk. There seems to be no way to play a list of files. Cover art is not supported as well. And while iDisk will cache other files, it will not cache music files. Still it’s not hard to see how Apple is adding features to enable it to support audio in it’s cloud storage business.”
