Apple Patents A Streaming Music Service That Has A Key Advantage Over Current Providers

Streaming media is the future. You know this if you've used Netflix, Rdio, Grooveshark or any of the other popular music services. Apple is said to be getting into the game as well and a recently-released patient application from 2009 shows iTunes streaming will in fact offer something different from the rest of the players.As much as I love Rdio, and I do love Rdio, I can't always guarantee that the mobile app will start playing music when I press play. There's always this waiting game as my Droid X fights for enough Verizon bandwidth to start streaming. Once the little blue bar partially fills up, signifying that there's enough of a buffer for seamless playback, the song starts. This is where Apple will offer something better and different.
