Old post but was curious.. (hopefully I didn't miss this in the article..) I know streaming can only occur on one device at once.. but what if you use offline caching of a playlist.. 1. can you do different playlist caches per device and 2. can you play them simultaneously? My kids need to stream less (though i expect that to increase as they enjoy it more).. but would be nice to just add tracks to a playlist for them and cache it.. this would replace the constant "dad can you buy XYZ and sync it to my iPhone?"

The clarity of this photograph is astounding, from the drip coming from the mouth and the splash of water creeping up her left leg to the wetness of her matted coat. Yes I think I am there.

It has a great position to catch the light. Despite me giving these shots a little light treatment, the red sandstone radiates that red/orange hue when the sun shines.

This is a stunning piece of Church archietecture, day or night. A must see wonder of Paisley.

I have been waiting for the details to shake free especially around account management in iTunes cloud or at ground level. iCloud does address some big issues around tethering and sideloading of media. iTunes match is a convenience factor and good value for $25/year, but again I want more detail on the service ie. the search and match algorithms ie. I want total transparency even though 99.9% of my library is legit.
Two disappointments, no streaming ability or subscriptions Oh and heaven knows when the Backward Phonographic Infirmary gets around the table to ink deals for the UK. iCloud before the Olympics ?

So I still reckon Spotify reigns supreme in service and and value (from £5), while it syncs to devices over-the-air today. Three improvements needed from Spotify:

1. Improve music discoverability on the desktop and app - its awful.
2. Sort out buggy iPhone app Air-sharing with AirPort & add Apple TV Rev1. Add a layer to Desktop app.
3. Bug-fix the iPhone app, crashes occasionally.

Are you a big Spotify fan ?

Be interested to hear if you have a follow up now that iCloud has been announced.

Apple's pricing would likely position 2x Spotify's monthly. Whatever arrives iPhones can become truly cordless.

Nice piece John, and it sounds like we both want Apple to cut that USB cable! Roll on iCloud ;-)

It was in Greygoaran, Sauchie. Its a row of sheltered homes for elderly people. Poor souls.
