Dear tim, Again many thanks for taking the time to explain the possible options. I’m still doing some research on all of this, especially on the first easy option you had originally suggested - that of subscribing to iTunes match. I thought at first that iTunes match was going to restrict my storage capacity for the content I purchase in the iTunes store but this appears not to be the case. The restriction seems to apply only to those songs that one imports manually and that are then subsequently matched by the iTunes in the cloud. So I now think, looking at the other more complex solutions, the iTunes match in the cloud may be the best way for me to go. Nor did I initially realise that I can download an item - be it a song or movie - onto my local drive and when I’ve finished with it I can delete it to regain space and it will still be available in the cloud for me if I want to play it again. This is very neat.
The only question now that troubles me is how I would sink my I devices with my computer. Since the entire music library is much larger than the capacity of any of my devices, do I sink them manually, or can I sink them automatically because the music library content does not actually sit on my device? Is this how it works? I mean apart from the content which I have stored locally. How do you accomplish a successful sink? Many thanks again.
