Frankly, iTunes as a music store sucks if you don't know what you already want, and the lack of a more dynamic and social music management interface is really starting to bug me. But back to your thing. I agree about the online storage thing. I'm not even sure if caching will be necessary in fie years when we all have 50 Mbps connections to our homes. (then again, you are so impatient that you don't want to plug in a hard drive!) I tend to believe that "online" storage will trump local storage as the primary stash because it's a built-in offsite advantage and universal access. BTW, this free napster joint is MAD slow!
