Great - I might try it then. But with 10 000 CDs of classical music, all ripped til ALAC already on my system, I probably have a better selection locally anyway. BTW: The best Lark ascending is Hugh Bean/Adrian Boult on EMI (1967)

Is there anything here that might interest a classical music nut like me? Operas? Chamber music? Renaissance? Monteverdi, Palestrina, Mozart; Schubert, Stravinsky, Shostakovich...?

It may be that Apple has to have data centers inside EU to allow officials in EU countries to use iCloud. In Norway it is forbidden for any official documents to be stored on servers outside Norway. There may be similar rules within EU. And BTW: T…

Yes, I know, but it still sounds wrong. Going nowhere means, as you point oit, making no progress. Which is wrong when you talk about the Mac. It is definitely getting better, and making progress in marketshare, so going nowhere in this context is j…

I'm also a lossless guy - I rip all my CDs in ALAC. Not because I believe the sound is better than f. inst. 320 kbps AAC (I really cannot hear any difference), but because it seems silly to discard some of the information in the recording when hardd…

There obviously is a difference in the quality of audio equipment. There is also a difference in the sound signature of different equipment - my STAX headphones are very analytical - you can hear every instrument very clearly - while my Sennheisers …

I think it is best described like this : "If you believe there is a difference, then you will hear a difference." In other words - it depends more on what you believe than what you actually hear. The real problem with recorded sound these days is th…

I don't see the problem. Real used a security hole in iOs to enable the iPod to play music from Real's store. Apple closed the hole, and as a result music from Real's store stopped working. There was a security hole in iOs, it would have been irresp…

Same here. I couldn't even find it because I had deselected Show iTunes purchases in the cloud (or whatever it is called in English). After I turned that on I could see it and download it.

If you are concerned about backups of your iOS device on iCloud, just keep your backups local to your computer.

AAC files are actually quite good. A lot of people hve problems distinguishing high quality AAC from ALAC or FLAC. And bad sounding headphones don't start sounding good just because you change the equalizer settings. But I just don't think Apple is …

The question is how that brand has been built. Apple was built up by quality and innovation, Coca Cola was built because they had a product nobody else had etc... What has built the brand Beats? They have always sold low quality products - they have…

I don't see this promotion either - so does it stop at the US border? I'm not Christian, but I do enjoy music written for religious events. I like Schütz, Bach, Händel, Monteverdi, Palestrina, Dufay etc. etc. But this music is probably not included …
