iCloud is NOT a generic cloud data storage system like Dropbox or others. It isn't designed to be a system where you store data (be it music, videos, or documents) and then retrieve them from any other arbitrary location or device..

iCloud is tightly coupled with iTunes and iOS devices to provide a mechanism to synchronize music, apps, and many more things seamlessly across all iOS devices, so that you can use multiple devices to do a task as opposed to doing it all on an island..
