Free Amazon Cloud Drive + Cloud MP3 Player


Amazon just launched a great service, one that we actually expected to see from Apple’s iTunes over a year ago: cloud-based music storage. Now, you can store music directly to a free 5GB personal storage sector in the Amazon cloud (upgradable to 20GB free with the current promo).

No doubt by now, some of you ubernerds are drafting your comments about ZumoDrive or DropBox, but neither of those solutions offer start-to-finish music purchasing, storage and listening… not to mention that none of those services are offering 20GB free either!

MP3s bought in the Amazon MP3 store can be stored directly in your cloud, accessed anywhere, and downloaded at anytime. You can also upload files from your local hard drive to your Amazon Cloud Drive. Those files could be music files, documents, anything you want. The music ones will be accessible from within your Cloud Player as well.

Presently, the only mobile support is for Android, since the player is Flash based. Hopefully that will change sooner than later.

PROMO: If you purchase an MP3 album from Amazon between now and the end of the year, you can bump up for free storage from 5GB-20GB. Need a good album to check out? Scope out our Wax Picks section or check out this months’ $5 albums (especially The Civil Wars!). ACCESS THE PROMO HERE.

Way to go Jeff Bezos, slay the dragon.

    I actually just found an app for iOS devices that the cloud player works with. It's called iSwifter. It's a little clunky but when I logged into my cloud player and pushed play, it played. So until amazon makes an iOS app or until apple makes it's own cloud player, this works.
