A Hands-On Tour

Amazon's doing its part to usher in cloud computing with Amazon Cloud Drive and Cloud Player. Users get 5 GB of free storage for a general purpose online storage locker and a Web-based music player for desktop computers and Android phones.

The Cloud Player

Amazon's MP3 app now includes the Cloud Player, so existing users can just grab the update from the Android Market. Like the desktop player, the Android version is a standard music playback app. You can set the streaming bitrate in app settings, and playlists created on the desktop will automatically appear on the phone. My only gripe is that cloud music and local files are walled off from one another. There's no way to create playlists that include both sources.
