I needto own my listening (and library) meta data. Roaming between the services would be ideal, but it seems like a feature that's further away than actually allowing a third party service to: (i) track my music listening habits; and, (ii) help build/support/update my library. Increasingly the "record of your musical preferences and listening habits" will be more important than the music itself. It seems like we'll be able to "get" our music from any number of sources (both legally and illegally) but what's harder to recreate is our taste.
