Apple To Let Users Use Cloud Service To Download Songs To Multiple iDevices
Apple is reported to be in talks with record companies in a bid to ease out download restrictions on music from iTunes store. Currently when a user purchases a song, he is able to download it only once to his device. If Apple has its way, iTunes users will be able to download the songs that they have purchased multiple times and across multiple devices that they may own. This will relieve users from the mundane task of syncing music albums across different devices.

Apple has already made headways in its talks with Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and EMI Group, however a final announcement would be made by the mid of the year.
In order to support the new model, Apple would build a cloud based music storage service, that will store the albums for each user.
