Ask the iTunes Guy: Understanding iCloud storage, issues with songs ratings<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Apple gives you 5GB iCloud storage for free, but do you know what you can do with it? Does it have anything to do with music in the cloud, or on your iPhone or iPad? I ponder this question, along with a question about the needlessly complex issue of rating songs and albums in iTunes.</p><h2>I don’t grok the cloud</h2>

Do I have to buy more storage to be able to listen to more music with Apple Music?</strong></p><p>Apple is doing users a disservice by not clearly explaining what iCloud storage is for.
