I did think it would be an interesting experiment to make some files named correctly, with the correct tags, but just silent and see if they matched. ITune match lets you upgrade all your files to 256K AACs if you ripped them at a lower encoding rate so you could then get the real files down. Tota

Right... it doesn't stream anything, just allows you to match up what music you own so you can download it to other iThings. So you download to iTunes which integrates with Logitech server and there you go. You really think Apple is going to open it up to other devices? I doubt it. Even if they
