Amazon Launches Cloud Services

Amazon has launched two new cloud-based services; Amazon Cloud Drive and Amazon Cloud Player.

The two services work together, with Cloud Drive storing your uploaded music, and the Cloud Player web application enabling you to stream your music to mobile devices or other PCs. It works like Spotify, but with only your music available for streaming.amazon_logo

Registered Amazon customers will automatically get 5GB of Cloud Drive storage, which can get upgraded to 20GB for a year so long as you purchase one MP3 album from Amazon and download it to your Cloud Drive. The Amazon Cloud Player only currently supports MP3 and AAC formats, though, so those looking to stream their FLAC files won’t be able to utilise the service.

The Cloud Drive also supports the secure online syncing of any type of file, from documents to videos. While competing online sync services such as Dropbox and SugarSync already offer this sort of service, Cloud Drive is the first to integrate it with a music store and music streaming service.

Cloud Drive and Cloud Player are now available for those in the USA, while those the other side of the Atlantic only get to play with Cloud Drive at the moment.
