Despite the current mobile data market there is still great potential for cloud services. If all your music is stored online it can be accessed anywhere. If you don't want to stream you can still update your local mobile library anytime you're on a wifi connection. It really is a win/win scenario for cloud music.

^^ word. if nothing else, this is a backup of your library. as long as it isn't DRM'd unreasonably and local files (cd ripped / downloaded files) can be synched...I think it is a really good option!

obviously, people should back up. realistically, many do not.
