I'm just wondering if it's actually cheaper though. iTunes Match is $24.99 per year, remember.

However, iTunes Match isn't everyone's cup of tea (and odds are, not available in their country. It isn't in mine).

And $99 yearly. iTunes Match is only $25 yearly, it's not billed monthly.

Furthermore, iTunes Match limits at 25,000 songs. At 256kbps, thats roughly 175GB.

I did the "dropbox referral via google adwords + $100 coupon" so I now have 10GB free on dropbox. It's an (albeit sneaky) alternative to the monthly $10.
