Apple's cloud-based efforts at its music event next week may involve a more social component rather than any streaming service, tipsters said Thursday. Music industry contacts told AllThingsD that they expect a "lightweight" version of the iTunes Store on the web that would make it easier to share preferences over social networks, though it wouldn't include direct sharing. How much functionality would exist isn't known, but it would be an improvement on Apple's current web presence, which is limited to viewing individual album pages.
