Amazon now offers Amazon Cloud Drive and Amazon Cloud Player - for the web and Android - that allows users to store music on the cloud and play it back on an Android smartphone or via the web.
To start, users get 5GB of free storage and are upgraded to free 20GB when they buy any Amazon MP3
The cloud storage option allows users to also store documents, photos and videos - all free.
Cloud Player for Android is now bundled into the new version of the Amazon MP3 App that includes the full Amazon MP3 Store and the Cloud Player. The player will play cloud music or music storage on the Android smartphone.
Files are securely stored on Amazon Simple Storage Service, and each file is uploaded to Cloud Drive in its original bit rate. Customers can buy music anywhere and then store them on the Cloud Drive.
If you don't have an unlimited data plan, you may find that you use a lot of data to plan songs. Songs can run a megabyte per minute. The first song you may buy is the Rolling Stones' Get Off of My Cloud
Cloud users are concerned with security. "Security Overcasts Cloud" is found in Friday's TS2R Wireless News.
