I just saw that "Amazon Cloud Player" was trending. I didn't know what it was so I went to the website.

This is from Amazon's page:

Amazon allows you to securely store your entire digital music collection using Amazon Cloud Drive and play it on any Mac, PC, or Android device using Amazon Cloud Player. Any new Amazon MP3 Store purchases can be saved directly to your Amazon Cloud Drive for free. You can also upload your existing music library to Amazon Cloud Drive so you have all your music in one place, accessible from anywhere.

All new Amazon Cloud Drive accounts are given 5GB of free storage for uploading content. Additional storage is available for an annual fee. See the Amazon Cloud Drive settings page for more information on special offers and pricing for larger storage solutions. All Amazon MP3 purchases saved directly to your Cloud Drive are stored for free and don't count against your storage limits.

System Requirements:

Amazon Cloud Player is a browser based application that supports both Mac and PC's. Cloud Player is not optimized to run on mobile phones or tablets including: iPhones, Blackberrys, Windows Mobile devices, and iPads. For Android phones and tablets, we recommend installing the Amazon MP3 app for Android which includes Amazon Cloud Player for Android. See a complete listing of Amazon MP3 store and Amazon Cloud Player applications. Browser Requirements The Amazon Cloud Player is optimized to run with flash installed on the following browsers:

Figured I'd bring this question back up into the top since Chris just did a video on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEYTsvu2BNw&feature=youtube_gdata

Based on what I just read above I probably wouldn't use it until they found a way to optimize it for the devices I would want to use it on, for example my Blackberry. Shouldn't convenience be convenient?

I agree. I don't plan on using it unless I can use it on my iPhone. Otherwise, I might as well keep using iTunes on my desktop backed up on an external HD.

It would be awesome to be able to tap into my music collection from anywhere such as for workouts but I don't want to tote my laptop around just to access something that I already have stored locally. It's a great idea and I personally think Amazon could take it to a higher level.

I feel the exact same way. I want portable to include my phone.

Probably not, since I plan to get a Zune Pass so I can just stream music to my Windows Phone / Xbox / Zune HD / PC

I just signed into it and had a quick look around. Seems like an interesting idea and probably will get some use out of it in the near future.
