Cheers I've been using it a lot recently. Have found it has a really large catalogue, and a load of stuff i couldn't find anywhere else on internet, never mind spotify. Dinar if i'd pay for it like.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Much prefer an online player to use on any machine to a client that needs to be installed like spotify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 2934 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Anyone else experienced amazon's new cloud service? Music that you've bought from amazon is available for your listening online through their cloud server and downloadable for up to 5 "approved" devices. Is it on their .co.uk site or just amazon.com?

But if you don't want to subscribe it's free via the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it on their .co.uk site or just amazon.com? Heard about it but haven't looked into it. Thought it sounded great when i first heard but If you've bought CDs all over the place it seems a bit of a half measure. Google play let you hoy up about 2000 albums for free anyway. I manage all my music on my PC with iTunes. Anything I own on CD I also put onto Google play. Only stuff I have downloaded goes on my iPod where I can 5 star stuff and gauge what should be bought. I have price watch set up on find-cd.co.uk for those I want to buy where I can specify if x drops below £y anywhere, notify me and I'll buy it. Then I use Groove shark/Spotify/we7/8track/Pandora/uberhype and other web ones without any sort of system. I did subscribe to spotify for a while but cancelled it when we were cost cutting to buy the new house. I want to subscribe to another now and grooveshark looks best value on a 3 monthly plan.

It was more that it was unexpected and pleasantly surprising, especially as they make anything that is "autorip" that you've bought from them also available, so not just current and future purchases. Appears amazon has also set up a 5gb cloud drive for customers for free. If that's the case, as I need to read the fine print about individual file sizes but 5gb for free blows dropbox out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So I can't download the app without jail breaking my iPhone?! They planning on releasing an actual app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruler of Planet Houston 1 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Been using groove shark for ages. Free online player is a bit of a pain as the video ads play in the background sometimes during your song. I have a plugin for Firefox that allows me to download any song in my playlist...I am a criminal!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
