@Bidmaron: It seems I'm not making things clear here. Anything you have in the cloud, you can sync down to your local computer. That includes all purchased content. So you can absolutely get everything you purchase onto your local computer and ignore the cloud at that point. It seems I didn't make this detail abundantly clear in my reply to @EightBitz above, so apologies for that.
The question that is open at the present time is whether you can purchase content and get it onto your local computer WITHOUT involving the cloud storage at all. The current architecture assumes everything will run through the cloud, so purchasing content would require a small amount of cloud storage to maintain all the references to what would otherwise essentially be shared content. Eliminating the need for the cloud entirely would make things significantly more complicated, so it's not likely to be part of the initial solution. However, if there's enough demand for it, we could conceivably figure out a way to make it possible. I hope this clarification helps! |

Sorry, Rob, misunderstood. I know that others will disagree, but I personally don't object to paying some small periodic fee for such outstanding software as what you have here (I think I'll be using your cloud anyway, but even if it is just to get access to the content, I'm okay with it). Perhaps for those anti-cloud folks you could have a one month free cloud with purchase of content so the problem takes care of itself?
