Apple Teases 'Exciting' iTunes Announcement Tomorrow

if it is cloud based iTunes - People seem to have forgotten Lala acquisition.... No need to upload everything you have, cause they either already have it or some other people will upload it for you... so it will be just question of matching your library with cloud content... They just really want people to ditch their iPod Classics - since they dont even count it as an iPod anymore (see the last media event)...(
It's very difficult to safely match songs in your library with those on the store.
You might have downloaded them illegally or ripped them from a friend's CD. Depending on how you do it, you could just fake it completely.
Nothing but iTunes Web...
Most certainly a iTunes for the Web because if you notice its says, ; 'Check back HERE for an announcement FROM (not in or at) iTunes'. This imply's that you would proberly have to check on Apple's Site rather than through the iTunes app itself; This also explains the set international times in the US and UK too.
Just another odd theorem
Kinda Surprised and excited

Well the fact that they replaced the MacBook Air image with this message, along with removing every other thing from the bottom of the page, means that this is going to be something huge...
Facebook integration would not be huge enough, neither would 90 sec previews.
So this either has to be cloud-based iTunes or something else that will totally change iTunes forever.

That's my bet as well. Facebook is also having a mystery press conference tomorrow, so it's very possible they are tied together.
free download from itunes for one day??
We wish.
"you'll never forget" implies that you will not have to worry about or forget to sync content to iDevices as it will all be easily accessible in the cloud.
Assuming that your 60GB of music was all purchased from iTunes (which I'm guessing it wasn't), then Apple already has it on a server somewhere so streaming it isn't a big leap. It probably won't involve you uploading non-iTunes music to Apple for streaming.
Hardly. And it's nothing to burn the front page for. And that Facebook event is today.
Apple's data center
My guess is Apple is going to announce their data center is ready to go and they will give details on how they are going to use it.

I always like how Apple does it's marketing announcements. Usually cryptic and unexpected. It's like watching a really good keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat movie.
You mean like putting a Lion in the backdrop of an OS X logo with a tagline like: Back to Mac?
Anyway, 10$ it's (finally) the new Powerbook G5!!!! OMG
What's the range like between Spotify and iTunes? iTunes seems like it lacks some labels and genres a bit, but for some reason I think Spotify might cover more.
That article was from July, and the AppleTV that was actually released does not have the inputs/hardware for recording TV.
If you've got spare cash, now would be a good time to invest. They have dropped from 320 to 308 in a number of days.
Well this is a nice surprise today. Hopefully it's cloud-based iTunes, Beatles finally going up on the store, and Facebook connection to Ping.
Maybe it is EST because the data center is on the East coast and they will do the announcement from there?

Beatles.
It won't be a cloud or subscription because that would require a new iTunes version and they just released 10.1 three days ago with no such support. Also doing a major iTunes cloud push will be a Steve keynote for sure. Adding Facebook to ping is not big enough for this promo.
This is going to be all the Beatles albums.
