Apple Teases 'Exciting' iTunes Announcement Tomorrow

I would like to be able to have my music folder organized in the iTunes folder but my movies somewhere else because they no longer fit in my MacBook Pro.

You can do this already. Set the option in preferences to Copy files to iTunes Media Folder - so that it manages your music, but when you add movies, alt-drag them from your external drive into the movie pane. If you alt-drag them, it won't copy - it just creates a link.
 
However, "Another Day" is a song by Paul McCartney.

Also, "Tomorrow is Just Another Day" is the final line from the novel, "Gone With The Wind".
 
Personally, I think it is somewhat mobileme or cloud related. Does anyone else remember the article that came out talking about one of the settings that appeared on 4.2 beta under mobileme? I can not find the appleinsider or macrumors article so through google I found this:

The images on there are what I am referring to. The 4.2 beta reportedly showed a new area in mobileme settings to create a free apple id. Now is it related or not, who knows. But it is a possibility. To me it could make sense. Mobileme being integrated into iTunes and having free limited functions and premium functions for paid.

You miss the point. You set up what you want to record, Apple does it for you, and streams it when you are ready to do so.

Apple TV would be no good to record directly as it has no mass storage.

Use the cloud to store it, after all, they can record a programme once, then stream it to many people.

This would justify the Apple TV on its own, and may be part of the master plan for the way it has changed recently with no mass storage.

You won't have to record either. It will already be there.

Wish: iTunes Music Store & .Mac are going to converge into a single service. Everyone with an ITMS account will use that account to log in to their new and free .Mac account tomorrow. .iTunes (pronounced 'dot'-iTunes) will offer cloud based storage for music. iOS 4.2 will allow wireless syncing/backup to the .iTunes accounts and be accessible everywhere you go.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. I really hope it is.

For some people this is not a joke. Presentation is very important; especially to apple. If it is visually appealing people will tend to use it more. If it is not visually appealing, people will shy away.

Also, is the grammar wrong in that title? I'm no good with zee grammarz, but shouldn't that 2nd line follow from a semi colon or a comma, but not a full stop since "That you'll never forget" isn’t a correct sentence?

It's writing for effect. They start with a simple, common declarative statement: "Tomorrow is just another day." Then, as a "zinger," they add "That you'll never forget." If you write it as "Tomorrow is just another day that you'll never forget," you completely lose the effect they're going for. Using sentence fragments in writing is acceptable, depending on the context. By the way, using either a comma or semicolon would be bad grammar.

You do realize there's no such thing as .Mac anymore. It's called MobileMe. Basing a name off of .Mac makes no sense at all.

Now, free MobileMe sounds good, but it's not really something we can expect here due to the fact this is all about iTunes.

I second the idea. I also commented to that earlier. I think it will be iTunes in the cloud with a merger of MobileMe and iTunes account. Subscribers of MobileMe get free iTunes in the cloud streaming. New iTunes in the cloud streaming paying users get free MobileMe services as a bonus.

Voila!
 
So how exactly will this cloud based iTunes work? Would you need to be connected to the internet at all times on an iPod? Wouldn't that eliminate the need for local storage? Sorry if these are basic questions, but I've never really used a cloud based service before.
 
God, I hope it's not iTunes cloud because every time they do something to MobileMe it eats all my data. I don't think Apple knows wtf they are doing w/ cloud computing yet.
 
With the "You'll never forget" bit, the clocks indicating that no matter where you are you can get access to loads of music, and the data center said to be operational any day now it has to be a streaming service.
 
It is quite simple actually. The phrase "That you'll never forget" means that they will finally bring ToDo syncing to iCal, you will add ToDos from Mac to iPhone via iTunes :p

On a serious note: Fingers crossed for cloud.

Any chance of a "one more thing?"
