[...] You see how that last links layout looks all fancy? That’s because that site is powered by Morph. In Morph you can actually bring up a toolbar on your website frontend and easily enable or disable stuff like module positions or turn on or off the sites javascript. Pretty cool stuff. Want to disable this functionality for some reason? Check out this post. [...]

Hey Matt! Great writeup.

One question: I thought the point was to get your iTunes into the cloud (Dropbox's servers) and off you local disk. I must be missing something major, but it sounds like all your iTunes data is still on your local disk, but being synce'd to Dropbox's servers. Is this article about backing up your local iTunes collection or MOVING it to the cloud (i.e., if you had no internet access, iTunes wouldn't be able to play anything.)

You are correct Lenny. I discovered this myself shortly after as well.

I ended up scrapping most of my music and just using MOg full time though.

Exact same boat as you. Went down the same paths. I think you might be off on Drop Box though. As far as I can tell it doesn't appear that you can use it only to store files, that is, you have to keep a local synced copy of all files. In the case of pushing music to the cloud this defeats the local storage issue (and also explains your immediate response times). Am I wrong on this one? Is there a way to config it so it doesn't keep local copies?

Thanks for the great investigative work so far.

Oh I agree, and use Time Machine for data backups. This solution is more for just my music, and allowing me to access it anyplace, and anytime. ....although I must admit, I use Mog for all my mobile music needs so this solution is already kinda dated for me. http://colgeek.com/hf4eQ1

I invested in an Apple Time Capsule a few years ago and have peace of mind that everything on both of my computers backs up every hour. And I have no bills to pay.

Probably the only downfall with that option for you is that it's Mac-only. But much better than waiting on that stuff go all the way across the Internets when backing up or restoring.
