1. Apple is [much closer](https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2011/04/apple-set-to-beat-google-to-music-cloud-.html) to launching a cloud music service than Google.
2. In fact, Apple has reportedly already [signed deals](http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/20110421/one-difference-between-apples-music-locker-and-amazons-label-deals/?ref=hypebot.com) with 2 of the 4 major labels including [Warner Music](http://news.cnet.com/8301-31001%5F3-20056528-261.html?ref=hypebot.com).
3. Another source says Apple deals with [EMI and Sony](http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/the%5Fnew%5Fspace%5Frace%5F94oUTODFh31cT31sEIVyhI?ref=hypebot.com) aren't done, but appear close.

4\. One blogger even has a picture of the new "mythic" Apple [data center](http://appadvice.com/appnn/2011/04/apples-mythical-nc-data-center-brink-reality?ref=hypebot.com) in North Carolina that it says will handle the new music cloud traffic.  
5. Google is so frustrated with label talks that they're exploring partnerships with thrid-party music services including Spotify.
