You can upgrade with options ranging from 20GB for $20 per year up to (for those who have too much money on their hands) a terabyte for $1000 per year. Upload your existing music files to Cloud Drive, and Cloud Player will stream them to your PC over the Web, or to your Android phone via the Amazon MP3 app. Android users also have the option of copying the files to their SD Card to save bandwidth and avoid streaming problems.
