OK, let me see if I can try to reduce some of the confusion. If not, feel free to check out the WWDC coverage on Cnet. I get all my info from them.
When you buy music on Amazon.com, you can have it available as download, or via streaming in your Amazon cloud player. Music you purchase does not count towards your quota on the Amazon Cloud Player. Why is that? That's because Amazon knows you purchased it, so it makes the music available. It doesn't make a physical copy and put it in your Cloud. This is the same concept with iTunes. The 5GB storage is for your documents, photos, bookmarks, contacts, calendar, but not music. Music is downloaded to your device, not kept in your 5GB storage and not for streaming. iTunes keeps a record of your purchases so when you connect to a registered device, it downloads all your content. hth On 6/7/11, Teresa Cochran <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, I truly am confused.
