so can we download previous purchased music now or not? i have a few songs i bought in the past but lost somehow or other and have to repurchase to get again....

yes you can, itunes is now going 1 time purchasing

[Manish]

If they've changed the slider icon in iOS 5, why didn't they bring that over to Lion (rather than using the old sliders)? It's a trivial issue I suppose.

Yep

[iuerg87yerg879e0rg9erugjer]

the ipad music app also appears to have had a refresh in iOS 5 or did i miss that?

5Gb of storage, that that apply to current me subscribers i wonder...

[Jan Veteran]

New iPad music app: (Thank god)

[Leonick]

Hmm interesting, looks like the music app on ipad got a redesign, wonder if we will see some big updates for desktop itunes too?

So... There isn't any music streaming after all? Not that I care but still :p

dang i got hyped for nothing -_-

[Jan Veteran]

One more thing: iTunes Match.

[rajputwarrior]

so ilcoud with itunes doesn't actually store anything but like an XML file of the songs you have on your account? i guess apple making those deals with the record companies was just liscense agreements of people being able to sync purchased music on more then one device...

[game_over]

iCloud not launching until fall

[iuerg87yerg879e0rg9erugjer]

25$ a year for itunes match :/

[Quillz]

yes you can, itunes is now going 1 time purchasing

This is actually really great news, because I, too, have lost music over the years.

[rajputwarrior]

so if we download all our songs (which is what i do, wooooooo canada!) all i have to do is subcribe to iTunes Match to get the itunes version of the music i "pirate"?

[Garry]

iTunes Match. $24.99 a year to match songs in my library and get the 'iTunes version.'

Two questions:

1. What if I 'acquire' the song from an online source, get the iTunes version. I have a legal copy...

2. If I quit my subscription do I lose access to those songs?

[game_over]

itunes match is $24.99/yr

[WelshBluebird]

Very nice.

Got two issues though:

1 - As mentioned above, what happens if you cancel your subscription?

2 - No streaming? Really?

[iuerg87yerg879e0rg9erugjer]

and thats all folks!

[Leonick]

so for $25 a year they will match the tracks ive ripped myself or bought from itunes that i have in a format and bitrate i like, convert them to huge 256kbps aac tracks and sync to my devices?

hmm no, no thanks, think ill stick to the wifi syncing when at home, not like a buy new music every day

[Boo Berry]

Haha, this is going to be a disaster and help pirates gain legal copies which in turn makes the pirated version legal as a personal backup of the iTunes Match'd version. How is iTunes going to know the difference between a purchased CD and the FLAC+CUE burned CD-R in this case?

I'd be more impressed if they'd offer Apple Lossless from the iTunes Store instead of the AAC 256kbps crap.

Likely works the same way as the other iTunes services; works only for music that is purchased from iTunes Store.

1. Your subscribing to the cloud service of uploading music which you haven't bought on iTunes. Wherever you bought it from it wasn't licensed for what you want to do with it

2. You'll lose iCloud access. You can still sync then like you normally would

[Tech Star]

No new iPhone. :(

[bogas04]

if i have some jailbroken apps on my ipod touch , and i icloud it , would i have it on every device? o.O

[DukeEsquire]

No, the whole point if iTunes Match is music you didn't buy from iTunes get all the benefits of iTunes purchased music, hence "Match".

:) for me, only got an iPhone 4 last month.
