Reply #48: Cloud-based computing of any sort is a bad idea.

[Occulus]

No, let me restate that: depending on it is a terrible idea for all sorts of reasons. Four reasons I can think of off the top of my head:

1) The cloud goes down for some reason.
2) Your account in the cloud gets hacked.
3) The admins of the cloud decide you've somehow violated the TOS and lock your account (perhaps because your account got hacked!).
4) Someone in your home exceeds your ISP's download limit for the month.

"As long as you've got an internet connection, you have access to all of your music. "

And when your connection to your ISP, the entire internet, or the cloud goes down, you don't. As I said, it's a terrible idea with far too many points of potential failure for my comfort.
