Itunes Match

Do you have a lot of music on your computer? Have you ever wanted to back it up on the cloud and be able to access it from anywhere? If you answered yes to both questions, consider looking into a service called itunes match. For only $24.99/year, you can store all of your music in the iCloud. In my opinion, this service is one that is well worth the price tag. $24.99/year is a very reasonable price to pay, and itunes will even upgrade your songs if they have a higher quality available.

In addition, instead of putting music on to your iphone, ipad, or ipod touch, you can access the songs you have stored in itunes match as long as you have an internet connection. Songs stored on itunes match can even be played though apple TV. However, itunes match can only be used on devices that use iOS 5.0.1 or newer which shouldn't be a problem if you have newer device. The service also supports up to 10 devices.

Itunes match can store a large amount of music, as well. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud. I know all of the music that I have is no where near that number so space shouldn't be too much of a concern. Match also supports
AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF file types.

As a user of multiple apple devices, this service would work great for me so I do not have to devote valuable storage space on my iphone or ipad to music and can utilize it with more apps and photos.
