Depends what you want to do really.
It's a great idea: a music amnesty - a way to legitimise pirated music for a fee of £21 or whatever per year. Or just a good way to get an extensive CD-based library in the cloud.
I use it, and like it. means that my music library is backed up regardless of hard drive failure or theft. Also frees up space on my phone, and allows me to easily change songs without needing my laptop, even on 3G (but i am with 3 and have no data restriction).
However, just like all wireless cloud based things, the initial setup can be a headache (mine wasn't), especially if a lot of your music can't be 'matched' to equivalent songs in the cloud, and therefore needs to be uploaded. Having your music library backed up to an external source is recommended before you start the process (natch).
If what you want is to be able to see and play your entire library from any apple device (or computer with iTunes installed) when you enter your apple id and connect to the internet, then great. It will do exactly what you want.
However, if you want to try and be clever and get it to work in a way that exits the apple 'walled garden', then be prepared to actually have to be clever (and patient) in order to get it to work. Maybe.
