Details on Apple’s cloud music plans, the service now universally dubbed iCloud, were inevitably going to leak out once it started talking to those loose-lipped types in the music industry.
The latest tidbit to fall from the flapping mouths of music execs is that Apple plans for iCloud to mirror your iTunes library instantly and automatically up the quality if the file on your computer isn’t good enough…
Bloomberg Businessweek says it’s heard the tale of mirrored iTunes libraries from three sources close to the Apple iCloud talks but it didn’t manage to get any details on how Apple will charge for the service.
The speculation remains focused on Apple bundling it into the current MobileMe subscription price. Adding music streaming to MobileMe would certainly make the service seem a lot more valuable with the rest of its features covered by free apps from Google and rivals like Dropbox. Would getting you iTunes library up into the iCloud lure you to grab MobileMe?
