I don't think it downloads to your phone automatically. Has anyone had this happen?
I'd be very upset if U2's new album appeared in my Dropbox.
Relax in your spa. Glance down at your Apple watch. Is that the time? Yes, it's U2 time. It's Suntory time. It's time for you. You are time. You are iTime. Sit back and let the warm, soothing bubbles of You caress your portfolio. Let your mind drift. The funding for your third startup app will come, don't worry. No stress. Ignore the internet background radiation of bleating voices cheeping about climate change. There is only one climate to bear in mind right now, the warm, misty froth of the spa. Be in the spa. Be the spa. Rest your hand on your glass. Is the glass half full? iGlass. UGlass. You too? Are you half full? Or are you half empty, a raging screaming void of present moment consumption, sifting the glossy digital catalogues for product after product to dam the flood of horror, hush, it's you time, it's time for you, too, it's time for U2, soothing time, Suntory time. Hear the clink of round ice cubes on expensive crystal, the hiss of bubbles, feel the worries melt away, melt away, we will update your software soon, we will reconfigure your taste, let your mind go blank, work harder, do you believe we know what's best for you? Do you believe? iBelieve, iBelieve.
After painfully reverting to iTunes 10 and still happily running jailbroken iOS 5.1, I have no problems in my life. Apple's recent software updates have been more constricting than helpful, and I see very few reasons to run software that wasn't designed for my hardware.
It pushes to your phone, but doesn't automatically download. However, it's possible to play the album w/o downloading with it in my phone as it is now, I would just have to do so over data. I have an iPhone and would not opt to download a U2 album, but I have it sitting in my iTunes anyway. Gross.
No idea, not an itunes user. My facebook was filled with people asking "why do I have this album now?", though, so it might show up in annoying ways. I would say something about how it seems like a creepy display of power from apple, but then I realized how integrated I am with all of google's services and I'm pretty sure there's not much difference.
