Amazon Cloud Player
Posted by: JamieWednesday on 27 June 2013
Good News. I didn't know whether to post this in Music forum, streaming, here or what but...
If you buy music from Amazon, they're now going to stick it on the Amazon Cloud player for you, which can be used on PC, phone, tablet, whatever.
Better news. This includes all your past purchases. I've just clicked on my cloud player and stuck the app on my phone and it's merrily adding hundreds (hundreds!) of albums to it. Good stuff!

Just had the app installed on my iphone and all the previously purchased albums(lps and cds) have neatly been transferred to 256kbps MP3 files and they don't sound bad at all. Nice one!

I just bough a CD and got the "Cloud" heads-up and I have 25 previously bought CDs on it.

I also tried this yesterday - bloody perfect.
Bought the new Boards of Canada album and hey presto I could listen to it while it is being delivered. Shame it doesn't integrate to Sonos yet like it does in the US

This is a really useful feature.
Makes you realise just how useful Cloud services could be in the future.
All credit to Amazon for doing this.

I just wish there was a lossless choice, although for many applications I am sure mp3 would suffice.

Just loaded it last night. Delighted. I forgot how many albums I bought. In addition a lot were vinyl LPs and I can now have this music on my iPhone and iPad. Great for holidays.

Not likely to use it much but I've found it hasn't loaded all the purchases it ought to have. Are there rights issues outstanding?

They've got to be purchases from Amazon itself and not from any of their marketplace businesses.
I think it's quite brilliant, even though I probably won't use it that much. The last few CDs I've bought from there I've downloaded which are added to my iTunes a couple of days before receiving the discs in the post. I've then deleted the downloaded copy in favour of the CD rip but TBH I can't tell much difference between them...

As such a nice additional value, however I have everything already in loss-less format.
