Last year, there was some controversy over whether or not Apple's iTunes
Match service supported streaming of music or just downloading files. As it
stands, iTunes Match appears to play songs as they download, which is an
issue of semantics -- but all that will change in iOS 6.
As noted by Apple 'n' Apps, in the iOS 6 beta, iTunes Match has become a
full-on streaming service. Songs can be downloaded or streamed, with
streaming being the default playback option:
iTunes Match has become a streaming service in the beta. We confirmed it, by
playing a few songs, then turning off iTunes Match, and seeing that the
music folder then had no music. In iOS 5, the few tracks you listened to are
stored. The various playlists, artists, and songs also drop the cloud icon
next to them, and those are reserved for the album view, and a little bit
off to the side.
iTunes Match costs $24.99 per year, matching songs in your iTunes
library to those in the iTunes Music Store. |
