Did they...?
"By contrast, Apple’s new cloud-music service — created with the blessing of the big labels, only uploads the songs it doesn’t know — and uses master files. In fact, if a customer has a low-quality copy of a song from one of those labels, Apple will automatically upgrade the song to a better one."
Besides, this ruling has very little effect on iCloud since it's already sanctioned by the music labels. What else would you have liked for them to say about iCloud?
- alf 15y agoThey that comment is really one sided too, because only keeping a master copy cuts both ways. If you have a high quality rip, using the master copy will "downgrade" the song quality.
- shaggyfrog 15y agoSorry, I should rephrase. In a story about cloud file storage and cloud services, with the world "cloud" in the heading, it seems odd that they decided not to bother to use the name for the service: iCloud.
- carussell 15y agoiCloud isn't mentioned because the article isn't about iCloud. iCloud is the name of one service from Apple, whose logistics renders this case irrelevant to that product, as explained by trun and Qz.
