iTunes

iTunes from Apple is a music library for all of your music and videos, as well as a music store. The iTunes Music Store allows you to buy new music directly from Apple, as well as music apps, books, audiobooks and more as long as you register for an iTuness account. iTunes can be used to download and manage podcasts, as well as synch with an iPad, iPhone or iPod.

iTunes Music Services / iTunes iCloud

iTunes In the Cloud will "Scan and Match" your songs, sometimes called iTunes Match. When Apple uses Scan and Match technology, that means that Apple only uploads your songs that don't exist in Apple's vast iTunes library. With an iTunes Music Store library of 20 million songs, most of what you have in your library is already in the cloud before you begin, and any remaining songs that aren't in the cloud will be uploaded for you.

You'll be able to listen to your music anywhere you have iTunes by either 1) streaming it through an internet connection and/or 2) choosing to keep a group of songs permanently downloaded to your computer or portable device.
