IOS 5 recently got it’s 7th Update. According to the developers the new update brings iTunes match service. It is a streaming, downloading and listening service by Apple. It let’s you easily stream download and listen to the Music which is stored in cloud.
With iCloud service you can easily get your music and choose if you want to download it or just stream it.

Once activated, iTunes scans a user’s library for music. Any songs that match up with tracks in the iTunes Store get linked to a 256kbps iTunes Plus track that is stored on Apple’s servers. Songs that don’t match are uploaded to a special part of the user’s iCloud storage, which doesn’t technically count against your storage quota. We say “technically” because Apple still limits iTunes Match to 25,000 tracks total—apparently larger libraries won’t sync at all with iTunes Match.

Despite Apple’s semantically pedantic explanation that iTunes Match does not “stream” songs but instead “plays as it downloads,” further investigation suggests that is not actually the case. Songs that are played by clicking on the title are effectively cached in full on iOS devices, then deleted automatically when navigating away from the song. These songs are not added to the library as they are when clicking the iCloud “download” icon.
