Amazon Launches Cloud Player


Recommended Posts

I've been using the Amazon Cloud Player at work for a month of so. I periodically upload a few albums while I'm surfing the internet at home, then I'm ready to go the next day at work. I don't know that I'd pay for the service, but I received the 20 GB of storage after buying an MP3 album, so why not use it? I like the fact that I don't have to remember to take my iPod to work everyday now.

 

Right now I'm trying out a free trial for MOG. I wasn't all that interested until I saw that I can use MOG on my Roku Box (http://www.roku.com/), which means I can listen to the music through my stereo rather than my cheesy laptop speakers. It should work out nice for work as well, and the price is reasonable.

 

I'm sampling the new Buddy Holly tribute right now. :music

That's interesting - I haven't had any problems at all with streaming on my home computer or at work.

This was using the amazon app on my android phone. My phone is the place I use services like rdio/google music the most.

Nor have I.

...it only worked a little bit slower on my android phone, but that's also because pretty much everything runs or loads slowly on my phone.

Just finished uploading my most-frequently-played material to the cloud, about 18GB worth. Took about 24 hours to do it. And I've really enjoyed having all of the songs at my fingertips now from my work computer. My account was actually upgraded by Amazon to have unlimited music, so I actually haven't used any of my allowed 20GB quota. It'll cost me $20/year.
