While a video making the rounds today makes it seem as if Apple’s upcoming iTunes Match service will stream music from Apple’s servers to a user’s device, that’s not the case. An Apple spokesperson confirms that any music you want to access from your cloud-based “locker” will still need to be stored on your iPad, or iPhone, or whatever device you’re using to listen to the song.

The thought about why this is happening is most like due to what every company is afraid with the music industry, litigation. You have to think that maybe some things still aren’t clear with the contracts and deals made with Apple and the big boys of music. And when there is no logical explanation for it, you have to say it comes down to legal issues. Although it has been said that the music streaming rights have been acquired by Apple, so I guess you just have to blame it on the rain, I mean the design flaw that Apple will most likely fix in the future, well we hope.
