[Closed] Storing all my music in a cloud service?

Although not a paying cloud service my NAS has it's own remote audiostation app allowing me to stream it anywhere I want.

Although there is an initial outlay on hardware over the space of a few years it will be cheaper than most cloud services.

I have iTunes match (£22/yr) which sync's your iTunes library and its OK (means you can delete local and download 256kB AAC files which are all completely kosher). I also have a chromebook and have uploaded my music there too (Google), for free.

I sometimes stream to the chromebook but I usually use them as two offsite vaults for my music. My iPhone is a pain in that you don't choose to sync any more, it downloads and caches on demand so if you're out and about and suddenly want a track you have to get to a hotspot or download over 3G. Otherwise you have to tell the music player to download while at home so it caches.

Why do you want to do it? Backup or remote access?

If the latter, I suggest you look at Plex.

I'm listening to my library right now via Google Music. Cost nowt.

Using Google Music too. Storage for up to 20,000 songs is free. The best bit is that if you install Google Music Manager on your laptop it syncs all your iTunes. It's pretty much made my iPod Nano redundant and I just stream onto my phone (I have unlimited data) - though it does cache the recently listened to music

"Stores it in the cloud" that's cute.

Why would a music cloud service store every tune? It'll simply interrogate your library and give you access to everything you have locally.

Google Music here also. Seems to be good to me, although I have don't have a huge library.

Judging by how long it took to upload, I'd say Google Music actually does store it. About a week to be exact.
