On the Amazon Cloud

March 29th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

Amazon has finally broken into the streaming music realm. The Amazon Cloud Player is the name and streaming YOUR music is its game! Unlike other streaming music sites like Pandora or Spotify it lets you stream your music library from any PC or Android device. I have read a few things about this Cloud Player and will share some information I feel is interesting. If you have iTunes at the start of using cloud while it uploads your music it will also take playlists that you have already created from iTunes. The layout of Cloud seems easy and organized and it also lets you skip around to different points in your music library obviously something that you can’t do on the streaming music players today. The music quality is about the same as any other streaming music player. The cloud is free for the first 5GB of music but most people will need a bit more. You can spend $20/year which is basically 1GB per $1. All though this is a very interesting idea from Amazon which could possibly be huge if people decide not to put music into own android phone.
