Use Amazon Cloud Play

31.03.2011

One of the selling points of Cloud Player is that regardless of which device you have with you (within limits when it comes to iOS devices), you should have access to your music. So, for example, if you uploaded your music from your home iMac and want to access it on your laptop, you just dash to Cloud Player and get it. Not only can you stream your music, but you can also download it.

To do that, just select the tracks you want to grab, and click the Download button. The Amazon MP3 Downloader will launch (you'll be prompted to download a copy if you don't have it), and the music will download to your computer.

There are a couple of ways to get more storage than the free 5GB offered by Amazon. The first is to purchase a digital album from the Amazon MP3 store before January 1, 2012. Do that, and your account will be upgraded to 20GB of storage for a year from the date when you purchased the album. When that year expires, you must pay for the additional storage if you wish to keep it or revert back to the 5GB plan.
