It depends, as Music Cloud seems to be a mixed bag of best ideas taken from others, clearly with some limitations stemming from their lack of Apple&rsquo;s stranglehold of the music industry."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1308847802.usr17748.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>Nice to have competition, but are we getting to the point where the consumer may simply get confused?
