Not sure if you are connected to their marketing arm or not (other than as a motivated poster). But if you like things audio I have some audio books on my site that address some of the issues of branding and PR as part of your marketing plan. The books were written by Michael Levin and narrated by Lloyd James.

My iTunes library is about 30 Gigs -- that's a lot of data to back up. It's a front-end hit, though (all that data gets uploaded in one shot, perhaps over several nights) because the data never *changes* just gets added to, which means the 30 Gigs gets uploaded once to bandwagon. And as for bazillions of copies of Stairway to Heaven, they're probably using a technology called Single Instance Store -- across their entire database only one copy of each identical song is kept.
