Information on iTunes iCloud and Match released

Alongside the release of iCloud the company have also revealed information on another new programme from Apple.

imageInformation regarding a new service which puts iTunes in the Cloud was released alongside Apple’s iCloud service yesterday which I posted about last week. Its basically a programme that keeps a track of the songs you download via iTunes then lets you download your online music library across to your iOS device(s).

Meanwhile, another new piece of software from Apple revealed yesterday was said that it could change how you manage your music library dubbed iTunes Match. Here’s how it works: the programme lets you back up your music library online through a scan. The software then creates a match of your music library on the web. Once you’ve replicated your entire music library you will then be able to download those files in high quality audio (256kbps) straight from iTunes to your Apple device, up to to ten in total. This I think is a nifty feature because it saves time in the long run by not having to individually update your iPod, then your iPhone one by one.

The service comes with a price tag of $24.99 (£15.20) per year when it launches in the US this Autumn. However, there could be a hidden agenda involved because Apple have carefully designed this new service so themselves and the record companies receive some cashback on all of those illegally downloaded music tracks that people download everyday. However, If you’re the sort of person with bad quality tracks saved on your computer this could just be the perfect service for you.

Bad news is for UK readers that iTunes in the Cloud is set to launch in the US only but hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for it to land in the UK.

Spotify to take on iTunes

Spotify launch a new download service.

imageSpotify launched in 2008 and since then have become a very popular service to listen to music on, they have had one million subscribers and 10 million registered users, as of March 2011. They’ve noted that and are now ready to take on Apple iTunes. Bit of a challenge hey?

As well as streaming your music you will be able to download tracks and also play them back on your iPod.

Spotify is a great service to listen to the latest music when you’re near a computer or a mobile phone, but when you’re not or got no signal on your device you used to be in trouble but not anymore.  You will now be able to sync the MP3 tracks you download from the Spotify app to your iPod without even having to use iTunes.

Spotify’s new music store will basically allow you to buy your songs either individually or in a playlist for discounted prices.10 tracks will cost you £7.99 or 80p each. Buy a bundle of 100 tracks for £50. The new service have also said goodbye to 7digital which did power all of the tracks which you purchased through Spotify beforehand.

This is what the Daniel Ek, chief executive and founder of Spotify said:

“Our users don’t want to have to switch between music players, but they do want to take their playlists with them wherever they go, on a wider range of devices, more simply and at a price they can afford. Now we’ve made that possible on one of the world’s most popular consumer devices.”

The new service is ready to use now.
