Amazon Cloud Player & Drive


Hot off the press this one and it looks interesting…

Amazon Media Room: RSS Content.

You get 5Gs of free storage courtesy of Amazon which you can use as a Cloud Drive or a Cloud Player.  So if you want you can upload your MP3s to Amazon and play them back using their Cloud Player.  I think it’s restricted to US only but try it and see, I get different results from different IPs.

The Cloud Drive seems to be a bit restricted at the moment.  I’ve just tried to upload a bunch of files in directories, it doesn’t seem to support directories yet.  There’s also a 2G file limit.

5G not enough for you?  Well you can buy more but it also seems that if you buy MP3s from Amazon then you get more for free.

If Amazon do this well it’ll hit services such as Dropbox (which I like), and both services run on Amazon S3.

I’m trying both these services out at the moment but due to slow upload speeds it could take a while…  But I’m looking forward to seeing which type of file viewers they have.
