now if only cars, phones, ipods, home stereo, clock radios, other mp3 players (or ANY device) had wi-fi capabilities…. this would work. Imagine not having to take music or even an mp3 player into your car, it just streams over your speakers. I think you need to be able to upload to whatever cloud-service as well to truly make this worthwhile.

So I Won't Need A Record Deal Right?

They might be doing something similar. The problem is that without complete buy-in by the recording industry, and unfettered access to their complete music catalog, then fully cloud-based music access will not be realized.

As an aside, the consumer electronics market needs to be onboard as well. After all, if my home stereo is unable to access the cloud then what good is cloud-based music storage?

Count me in on this. I stopped buying CDs ages ago and mostly purchase music via iTunes but if I could have something anywhere near what you've envisiged here I'd sign up in a heartbeat. I think the music industry has fallen behind the times and is very much archaic. Not only that they are too busy thinking that pursuing the pirates and taking them to court will bring back the cash they're missing out on. However, all they need to do is think outside the box, come up with a new model and run with it.

I would love it if it ended up where I pay say £10 a month to listen to whatever, wherever and not be limited by platform.
