This was all revealed when Apple released their iTunes 10.5 Beta 6.1 to developers <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2011/08/29/itunes-match-beta-available-for-developers/" target="_blank">yesterday</a>. You can watch how it all works in this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3ShM5jm4sQ&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">video from Insanely Great Mac</a>. And <a href="http://www.cultofmac.com/you-can-only-have-a-maximum-of-25k-songs-or-250-gigabytes-of-music-in-itunes-match/111307?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+cultofmac/bFow+(Cult+of+Mac)" target="_blank">it appears</a> for your yearly price of $24.99 USD, you get to store approximately 250 GB of music (25,000 songs). That isn't a bad price at all. What are your thoughts?</p>
