you can mount a network disk (ftp disk) to your desktop with your music library.

whats the point of storing it online?
- ILuvSushi0
i dont know being able to listen to it from any computer you go to without having to buy an ipod? :\

I guess as back-up if you had the space it would make sense....
- protoculture0
that would cost $$$

Yea why online ? That's so 2001, it's like this stupid idea, i think they used to call it Nupstor or something, but I think they got sued or something, why Apple doesn't provide this service ? hmmm....

well if i bought it and own it..shouldn't i be able to legally store it online through a service they could offer?

if i'm not mistaken, you CAN listen to music you've purchased at the Apple Music Store through iTunes on any of up to three computers -- which you have to designate as "authorized" first. that's as close as you'll get... if it's even still the case.

You should sue Apple, let me know, cuz we could do the whole class action thing, it'll be exciting

i need to sue apple for all the damn mp3s i have on my drive!!! it's their fault i used to have so much space!

well sure you can store it online.
but most hosts arent going to give you 10 gigs to backup your lbrary for $10 a month. i see what you are saying though. maybe in a few years gigs wont mean shit and you'll be able to do it. bandwidth is another issue too. each mp3 is 3.4 megs approx. that shit will add up.

yeah, and gimme your ip when you find a server...cool!
- ILuvSushi0
i have some terabytes laying around.

I think it would be interesting to be able to store all my music on my own server, but ya, the bandwidth from streaming music from, say, your home server, would cause your ISP to go into coniption fits.

well you can buy 100GB of online storage for around $100/mth, with 1000GB/mth transfer, so just find 99 friends to share it with!
