Cloud vs physical storage

Stuzza [Edit] [Delete] 17:34, 27 January '13

Am I alone in being really sscared of relying on the cloud alone for my music? At the moment I have (a large proportion) of my CDs and all (obv) my downloads stored physically on my laptop, backed up on an external drive and in the cloud (I hate saying that) on itunes match. The latter is just a by product of wanting the music available across all the devices I have.

My laptop is slow and clunky as all **** so I'm looking to get a new one and a lot of completely cloud reliant with tiny physical memories no doubt making them faster and cheaper etc.

But relyying on the cloud alone makes me go all wobbly. I don't care about losing the wedding and kids photos. I DO care about the music.

Can anyone reassure me either way?
