What's interesting (to me) is 1) that Apple is getting into Spotify-type
music delivery at all; they've already dipped their toe in with iTunes
Match (which lets you play your own music collection from the cloud and
upgrades the quality if your version is <256kbps AAC), and what's it all
mean for the iTunes Store? and 2) that they intend to maintain an archive
'HD' quality tracks for delivery over this system (delivery to be at
various quality levels, depending on bandwidth)
Once this gets going shouldn't be too hard to tell if a stream is truly
'HD' or not.
