Ultimately, like the Chromebook philosophy, it will allow you to not have to think about your data as much, since you should be able to access it anywhere you have a data connection. So, if you can't get all the music you wanted on my Macbook Air because you only had 30GB free, and you didn't think you were going to be in the mood for something that you left on my desktop, you can just connect to the service and pull it down to your device or laptop. This makes low storage devices and ultraportable devices more appealing. Not just what you chose at the moment the devices were connected and synced. You get access to your entire library from any device with the iTunes Match/iCloud service. I'm not trying to be a troll or cause problems I simply honestly don't see why anyone is bothering to do this. It all works, and works well, just like it worked five years ago.Įxactly what extra do I get by paying $25/year and having an additional copy of my music sitting on a data center in North Carolina? I've synched the music I want synced to my iPhone, iPod, iPad, laptop. I have my canonical library of music on my desktop mac. What is the problem that is being solved? Am I just being dumb here? I simply do not understand why this service (or Google's or Amazon's equivalent) make any sense and why give a damn about them, let alone get so excited.
