Rumor: iTunes online music streaming to debut at WWDC

It's amazing that so many are angry at Apple already about a service that has not been announced by Apple and with no knowledge of when or if it will be announced or the capabilities it will have.

I get the impression that life is not complete for some, if they don't have a future unannounced Apple product or service to bitch about.

Oh, how I'm going to miss SimplifyMedia. (Did Apple have a hand in their "change of course?") I am quickly becoming a disgruntled Apple fanboy, alas. Apple's locked-in-syndrome-mentality is absurdly frustrating. I, too, suspect this upcoming streaming feature will be limited to iTunes' purchased media. If this is the case... ah, gosh, grumble grumble.

At this point, I want to jailbreak the entire company of Apple.

How long will it take to upload 13 TBs of ripped BD .isos?

Possibly related to the recent trademark filing for iTunes Live maybe? http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/09/apple-files-for-itunes-live-trademark/

If it doesn't work on songs I already own, then this is overhyped garbage. I have a TON of legal ripped music, a lot of stuff from Amazon and older mp3 sites, and very very little from iTunes.

How about the music locker, witness 20 gb free and reasonable prices for 100 gb.

What is the benefit to Apple in this scenario?

That'll be great for the five tracks I've purchased from the iTunes Store. What about the 1,500 CDs that I own?

It's a cool idea, but does it really make sense to announce something like this at WWDC? Remember, the "D" stands for "Developers."

I think we might be more likely to see something Lala-related at Apple's traditional fall iPod event.

As long as this works with music people have already ripped from the CDs they own (i.e., like Lala did), this will be INCREDIBLE.

If it only applies to things we've bought over the iTMS, meh.

Possibilities abound.

iTunes X does sound nice :)
