Watch That Tiny $74 1.5GHz Android-Powered Thumb-Puter In Action It seems that yesterday’s appearance of the iTunes Match service in iTunes was a little premature. Not long after posting, the option seemed to disappear from iTunes account information, while those charged had their money refunded. Luckily, the option is now back, and appears to be in full working order.
Apple’s online music streaming service iTunes Match has been US-exclusive since its launch in November. But it seems that Australia is about to get on that bandwagon, with the iTunes Match option appearing in Aussie iTunes users Account Information page.
In the olden days, most of the music on music fans’ hard drives came from P2P networks and ripped CDs. If Apple’s vision of the music cloud proves dominant, the future will resemble that past, perhaps with MP3s downloaded from music blogs replacing CD ripping.
We’ve known about iTunes Match for a while, but it just went live today in the US. The $US25/year music service promises to not only store your iTunes purchases in the cloud, but to back up your non-iTunes tracks as well. So how does it work exactly?
The developer beta of iTunes Match, Apple’s new iCloud-based music sharing service, is live and IGM has confirmed that Match will not only support downloading but will stream content directly to your Mac or iOS device as well. Here’s how it works.
You know how excited you got by the prospect of having Apple match your entire torrented collection of Styx in the iCloud service using iTunes Match? Forget it. Turns out the service is only going to launch for US customers.
It seemed like Apple was poised to let iTunes in the cloud be an officially-purchased-music affair only, but the One More Thing this year was a bit of a curveball: iTunes Match.
