    Iv just been reading up on this it seems cool currently importing my music into the cloud any drawbacks to this service?

    20,000 songs seems like more that enough for me LOL

    iv installed the app on my iphone and am just wondering does it take up background space or is it really all streaming except for what I choose to download for offline play in the app

    It does cache as it plays, but you can disable this in the settings. In this case it wont take up any space .
    I use it on my android phone and laptop and its really good, no downside so far.

    20,000 song limit is the only downside I've found.

    It does seem to stop playing a lot for me, and often can't play my more obscure recordings. Wondering if the rarely played stuff is pulled in from slow disk or even tape!

    Also find the web app and android app light on functionality compared to some competitors. It's odd - they made a great start and then backed off, when they have the resources to take on and beat the current leaders. Still, liking the service a lot.

    the iphone app so far seems slick haven't had any issues yet but give it a few days of use then maybe it will be a different story but so far so good
