I can live with missing a few tunes for a month or so. The artists that I want to listen are not releasing new music very often. Very little of what I am remotely interested in was released (as apposed to re-mastering) since the Millenium. I have recordings (taken from Vinyl) that go back to the mid 1950's. IMHO, the key to your statement is 'all the new music'.Īgain IMHO, 99.99% of Music released today is just noise for more than 50% of the population. I was in Nevada a few months ago and was out of signal range for more than 3 days. There are large parts on the lower 48 states that have no Cellular signal.

Streaming implies that you have Internet access. They will stick to the one they choose for as long as there's no major problem. No one want to upload same files again and again. You let people upload their files to your cloud, you have locked these people in.

To have access to this everywhere in addition to all the new music is the best of both worlds.Īnd it's not only music though. Most are lossless and very large library. One with all the tags and details owners meticulously and carefully put in, with all their favourite playlists. ITunes library for music lovers is sacred. Please put this confused old git out of their misery and explain in simple terms why I'd ever considering doing this? The roaming charges will be huge (if I can get a signal in the parts of Patagonia where I'm going) I'm off on a trip next week to Spain, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. potentially costly) 3G/4G bandwidth to stream musing to a device that errrrrrr has the space for it anyway? With a 128Gb iPhone and my iTunes library only 38Gb I have plenty of space for other stuff. I already have it on my MacBookPro and my iPhone. Why would I ever want to upload my iTunes Library to the cloud and stream it? Sell iCloud Drive unlimited for $60 a year (or even $80) and let people upload their own iTunes library then use Apple Music to stream it. If Apple Music wants to leave Spotify in the dust, it's so easy. And people says Spotify is for serious listener while Apple Music for casual one.
