Amazon Cloud Drive and Cloud Player, Web and Android only.

Amazon introduces Cloud Drive and Cloud Player, for Web and Android.

Features:

  • 5GB of free Cloud Drive storage.
  • Any purchases made from Amazon MP3 Store are stored for free.

Set aside the whole licensing issue that Record Labels might bring up, Amazon Cloud Drive and Cloud Player are great for consumer. Amazon can sweeten the deal by selling CD+MP3 together. If you bought the CD+MP3 bundle, you could listen the songs instantly. In addition to that, this would give consumer more incentive for pre-order and react instantly whenever CD’s are leaked on the Internet.

Now, what about other platform, Amazon?
