I am digging the new iTunes as well Chief.

As for the whole "cloud computing where is my stuff at" thing....I'm fine with it. It's just storage space for music and pictures for me. It's the same if you use any of those sites where you back up your data over the wire. You never know how secure your data is until someone breaks into it. Just ask Sony.

In the end, if you're not comfortable with having files stored someplace other than your house, then you shouldn't use that feature. Buy yourself a couple of external hard drives to keep copies of (not move your data to) your data from your computer, and then once a month or so, make an image of your computer incase something stupid happens.

Having worked in the data recovery and computer forensics field, I'd never tell someone to do something that they were not comfortable with. For myself, I'm fine with pictures and music being stored in the cloud.
