On any other morning, shuffling out the door in search of coffee after four hours of sleep would be the height of drudgery. Today, however, thanks to a discovery made by MP3.com founder Michael Robertson, there is an extra little spring in our step.
While many of us have been waiting with bated breath to see what Apple's intends to do with LaLa, the music streaming service they purchased a while back, Robertson has been streaming his music from iTunes to his Apple mobile devices. The new ability comes thanks to Apple's recent iDisk App update, and is detailed in the deep in the legal flotsam released notes. See? it always pays to read the fine print.
Robertson is quick to point out, however, that this is not the true iTunes streaming that we've all been waiting for. Rather, any MP3 or AAC files you want to listen over the air would have to be moved, one by one into iDisk storage via your browser. Sadly, at this point there is no support for playlists or album artwork, but hey, it's a start--and it illustrates that should they be able to quell the moaning of the music labels flogging their wares via the iTunes store, Apple could send us all to iTunes streaming music streaming Heaven with very little work at all.
