The streams can't be downloaded onto your hard drive. But they are backed up for you and secure.


You own and keep what you buy from iTunes. It isn't a streaming service.

So when you decide to close, we lose everything we've paid for.

Didn't ask for it, have no interest in it.

Yet. Dominic has already pointed out that Apple are building their own data centre. I've heard exactly the same thing. The only thing stopping it from happening just now is described in this little diagram

I've already asked this question (but in a nicer way) and a response was already given, why on earth are you asking again? The answer is simple and obvious - file sizes are far too big, cloud hosting it the only way forward. Personally, I'm willing to take that chance. I'm assuming that in the unlikely event Magic Shop closes down, something will be sorted out at that time

I'm going to take a gamble here and out you as Damian Jennings. Mandrake?

I don't know what that means. Do I need to be scared?

Possibly should've made that as 2 separate posts as they're not really related, but I'm not a post whore.
