If you want a free service to stream your music from your home computer to your work computer/android/iOS device, check out my service: http://www.audiogalaxy.com Since we don't store the music in the cloud, we don't have any size limits (the current winner has about 530,000 files). Obviously this only works if you leave your home computer on, but we've found that isn't a problem for most folks.
• This is the first time Amazon has pulled together the two major branches of their business, retail and cloud infrastructure, into something (dare I say it?) synergetic.
• Amazon is taking the first steps into the non-retail consumer web, where, if successful, they'll probably give a good scare to a handful of startups as they sweep across segments (and without the Google / Facebook-like startup shopping).

Any plans to also stream video or photos? That would be flat out awesome.
I think Amazon is trying to become the backbone for the 'alternative' set of Android core apps that will inevitably be developed. These apps will appeal to any carrier/OEM that wants to stop licensing from Google, or from companies like Amazon and Facebook who may launch their own devices with splintered versions of Android. My guess is that Amazon will own content delivery for these devices (books, movies, TV, music…
I think it's bold of Amazon to launch essentially a minimum viable product and beat Apple to the punch. Now they have customers and are getting meaningful feedback to make future improvements. You rarely see this outside of Apple and startups. I'm glad to see Apple running into some real competition.
As a non-US there is no way for me to use this. Just put aside that, is it actually any legal reason for using things like dropbox to upload music purchased and streamed for private uses? BTW that one album/20GB offers only last until the end of the year, and it only last for a year. After that, you would have the habit of using the service but be reverted to the free plan. However since all the new purchases on amaz…
> As a non-US there is no way for me to use this. I'm in Australia and that's what it looked like to me initially too, but after manually uploading an MP3 and then attempting to play it, the Cloud Player then worked.
But when I tried to install the Android player it said it wasn't available on my carrier (Optus)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Didn't Audiogalaxy used to be a P2P service in the early 00s?
The one where you searched from your browser and then opened some small hash file into the client which did the sharing, right? Not unlike the later BitTorrent.

I don't understand these types of comments. I have the same problem with Spotify in the US, but I don't feel the need to share that I can't use Spotify whenever a Spotify discussion comes up -- everyone is well aware of country restrictions already.
