Much of the speculation about iCloud surrounded the music element, with Apple having lined up deals with the major record labels leading up to the launch. iTunes for iCloud will not be a subscription service, but the usual a-la-carte model the Apple platform already uses. What's new is iTunes Match, which will scan songs a user's iTunes library to find titles not purchased from Apple and creates a DRM-free copies of that music in the cloud. That service, which Jobs assured would only take "minutes' to scan songs, costs $25 a year.--Mark Walsh
