I just logged into my Amazon account, and they've kindly supplied me with MP3s of every CD I've bought from them since 1999. Spotify has rendered it a bit redundant, but it's always nice to get something for free.

ooh thanks for that I had 115 albums waiting for me in the cloud player 🙂

Not sure what to do with them as they are all on my HDD and my NAS 🙂

That's interesting. I'm trying it now but it seems to take an age to load each track.

They've just introduced an iOS app for the MP3 Store, so you can buy tracks directly from the app, then download them from the cloud player.
Much easier than having to d/load from the computer then copy to the pod or phone.

Nice! Got a of tracks from LPs and CD's I've long since lost.

Not so nice.... It seems presents for other people are in there - I too seem to have been infiltrated by Chris Martin 😯

or....

If you use google music, you can upload* up to 20,000 songs from your computer (iTunes/Windows Media Player/Music folder etc, as well as your amazon downloads) to their servers to be able to access it from anywhere (incl your android device). You can also share tracks with people. You can tell it which albums you want to keep on your device too so you dont have to worry about data connection.
Google music will also create instant play lists and mixes for you too.

* it does it all for you BTW

Stoner is currently investigating plastic surgery to step up his google evangelism to the next level.

He simply handed the surgeon this picture and said 'make me look like this' 😉

Thanks DezB, I guess the internet just hates me then. It's mutual.

Best thing about it - I could select lots of Coldplay songs and click DELETE. Excellent! 😈

Nice, like it... and it's added loads of bonus tracks to albums where I only bought the standard version. Never Mind the Ballcocks is now more than double the size!

All fine and dandy, if you have unlimited data, if you have a good enough network connection, if you can find free wifi that will let you log on/use it for more than an hour/actually stream data, (I'm looking at you, BT Fon).
[Edit]
you can upload* up to 20,000

What's the point? I've got that many on my phone, and 160,000 on my iPod. 200,000, and I might be interested, and it would have to leave the bitrate at 320Kb, too, which is why I refuse to use iCloud.

I own <20,000 songs. Mostly Coldplay.

Im a luddite. I woudlnt know what 1,000kbps sounded like if it was whistling dixie in my ear.

have unlimited data, if you have a good enough network connection

You can sync local libraries for mobile devices. I really dont need ALL my music available ALL the time.

That's quite depressing, much like Coldplay really

I'm very much liking the Amazon, however, there's a very dodgy album in it. It's called 'Simple' and appears to be by a group called 'Simple'. It is a collection of quite the worst cover versions of songs I have ever heard. I've been through my entire order history and it's definately not been purchased on my account. It's truely horrific
