Amazon Cloud Music Service

Just alerting Evo owners (Android owners too) that Amazon just launched their Amazon Cloud Player and Android App. You get 5 GB for free and if you purchase a mp3 (just one will do and for .99 cents pretty cheap storage) you are automatically updated to 20 GB for one year. You can upload your existing music collection to the cloud and listen anywhere; home PC, phone, anywhere with an internet connection. It also allows you to store other files there as well (so they say but haven't checked out that option yet). There is an Android App to go with the program. No subscription fees. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Secures your music in case of hardware failure and has the potential to free up a lot of space on your SD card. If you want to pull your music back onto your phone to listen in a premium music player, thats doable too. Great concept and the price can't be beat. This should be especially useful to Sprint users with unlimited data plans. I uploaded 10 GB of music this morning from my computer over Wifi from home and will clean up my SD card from music I don't listen too that often. I think it's a great utility and let's you manage your own library of music pretty liberally.

When they sell flac then I'm in. Until then ill pass
swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO

Im thinking about this but i want see what apple and google offer next.

A whole 20 gig? That wouldnt even house my music with artists starting with A. Do these people really think people have that little music? Ive been buying CDs since the 90s and ripping them. At 320K, it doesnt take long to rack up some space.

Access your cloud
Hi, so If I upload all my songs to the cloud .. is there a mp3 player within the cloud that will play my songs, or do i need to download the song in order for it to play?

You can use the amazon mp3 app on your phone to play the music or use the web app on your computer.
Also if you purchase the $.69 album linked below you'll be upgraded to the 20 GB plan. 20 GB for $.69. EASY....

The best streaming service I've tried is mspot. It gives you 2GB free space but you can buy more, I fit alot more than 2GB in because it gives you an option of song quality to upload from the original format so I chose the lowest (its just a phone and sounds great even the website through my computer speakers), and best of all its all in the cloud, no need for your computer to be on to act as a server like other services.

I was up very late messing around with this last night. Honestly, I think it's an awesome move, and has thrown down the gauntlet to Google and Apple. Plus, 20GB is enough for me to fit all my most listened to music up there. I like that it streams in the songs original bitrate too.
A lot of people in the comments section on various sites keep mentioning Audiogalaxy as an alternative, but what sets this apart is your home computer doesn't have to be on and connected to the internet all the time.
I may move to Google Music when it comes out, but for now, for me, this is the cream of the crop.

You guys may want to be real careful on what you upload to CloudDrive for a while.
Seems Amazon is taking a "unique" approach to this cloud storage & streaming service. They are arguing that they dont need distribution licenses from RIAA because the service is more like a user saving files to an external harddrive, but in this case its the cloud.
They dont have a license agreement with ANY of the labels, which means that things will likely go south. RIAA and labels are likely going to sue Amazon and issue a C&D letter to get the service to stop. They may even get Amazon to turn over user info and lead to other headaches... Sony for one stated that they are "shocked & upset" over Amazon's new CloudDrive service and others are saying they cant believe a company like Amazon went ahead without securing licenses...
http://http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Amazon-faces-backlash-over-rb-3699819521.html
I would only store music previously purchased from Amazon or CDs that you own, just to be safe. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I would bet that if Amazon doesnt secure some sort of licensing deal & tighten up their offerings, RIAA is going to bring lawsuits.

Best MP3 Cloud service

What is the best free mp3 cloud service? Amazon cloud has a nice layout and streams nicely but only gives 5gb free. Microsoft skydrive gives 25gb but the player is pretty crappy and takes awhile to load. Are there any other free cloud drives similar to amazon with more memory?

Google Music. Free. Up to 20,000 songs. Listen on any computer or any Android device. Enough said.

Audiogalaxy IMHO, but you have to keep your computer on to stream your music.

google music sounds awesome but how do i get into the beta? anyone have an invite code?

If you don't have it yet, head to http://music.google.com to request an invite. Might take them a while to give you one though.

And who knows how long it will be in beta status. Gmail was in beta for over five years...and it is still free.

It does say "Music Beta is available free for a limited time." So they are at least implying their intent to charge for the service. If that actually comes to be is anybody's guess.

trying to be optimistic hahaha

Haven't seen mspot mentioned. It's pretty good, with some odd restrictions (the music has to all come from the same computer, though it does get stored on their server).
I didn't realize you could stream with skydrive.

I really enjoy amazon cloud. It has web and android apps. It has very simple transfer from client to cloud and back. And every time I buy any music from amazon, it's right there for me. Size isn't an issue as I really only need my favorite songs accessable frm everywhere. 5gb would be enough but I easily buy an album a year which will keep my storage at 20gb.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Google has already stated at I/O that Google Music will not be a fully free service.
Amazon MP3 has a fast uploader, and if you buy a digital copy, there is no upload time at all - just hits your music library almost instantly.
I think the player is clunky and the UI kind of slugish on our phones and the Moto Xoom.
The playlist shuffle feature BLOWS on amazon
Google Music has a really great interface, well integrated with the device, but that damn uploader is so EFING SLOW!
Shuffle actually shuffles and does it nicely.

for a year only. Not sure if you'll have to buy another one to keep 20 Gb, but you'll have to pay for extra 15Gb. BTW the music that you bought at Amazon and store in their cloud does not count toward your total. That is another plus for them.
I do not think Google up-loader is slow. Last time I put two albums in my music folder and switched to Google Music site, they already were present there.
I like both services and wish for a Black/dark theme for Amazon player.

I vote for Google Music, it took me a week non stop to upload 9000+ songs and I have a 1.5Mbps upload speed at home.
I haven't found an easy way to upload via Amazon unless it has changed since I signed up when it first came out. You have to upload each album/song manually which is unlike google music which scans your folder that you select and uploads all the compatible music to the cloud, at it's own damn pace.

Just Got off Kindle Fire Chat Support

I am an existing Amazon Prime member and I purchased a Kindle Fire which comes with one free month of Amazon Prime and 5GB cloud storage
I did a chat support to ask if there was a way to combine my accounts and get 10GB of storage, the answer was NO
I asked if there was away to run two accounts on one device, the answer was NO
So if anyone has been wondering, the answer is NO!
Now if only someone could come up with an app that could either combine accounts or easily switch between them... or does one exist?

Why?
Sorry, but why would you need to manage two accounts from one device? There may be a good reason, I just can't think of one.

Simply for the extra Cloud Storage. 6GB doesn't seem to be enough for people. PUT IT ON A CLOUD!

Ok- so no to two accounts for reason of combining cloud storage etc- but what about this scenario.. I just ordered one for the wife- who has her own amazon acct.. I have an amazon acct also and on my Droid Incredible I've been d/l'ing the amazon free app of the day pretty much everyday. Will I be able to use my acct to install those apps on here kindle, then log her back into her acct?

and you wont be able to side load them as the amazon apps from thier store, including the free apps, check amazons servers to see if you purchased them. If they are not on your account, you wont be able to use them. You can install them, but they wont work

with that logic, i'll just open up 10 accounts and get 50GB for freeeeeeeeee!

or you could pay a measly $20 for a years worth of 20gb? It's not horrible and we all knew going into it cloud was part of the plan.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is how the Kindle's have worked since the eReader. That is why the wife and I buy all of our stuff on one shared account and email. That way we can share the apps.
Here is a tip (at least it worked last I checked):
- Go to AmazonMP3.com and buy any 99cent album and BAM, free upgrade to 20GB for a year.

I use AppSaver application on my Nexus S to save downloaded apps from Android Market and transfer to my Kindle Fire. There are some cool games and such that don't show up on the Amazon or Android markets, but do show up for my phone and work perfectly well with the Fire.

And recommendations on spending the $25 credit?

I presume all those who pre-ordered get the credit. :good:
This is my first "Android" tablet (I own the Sony PRS T1, which is a reader FWIW), have never used an Android application till date.
Would really love recommendations for apps for this tablet OR how do you guys plan to use your credit? I am not into games, so any productivity applications for this tablet, which I shouldn't be missing out, give me a shout.

As I already own a ton of apps I'll probably dump mine into games.
For the sake of reference my daily go-to apps that i think are worth investing in would be:

Facebook: Friendcaster

Everything else I use daily is either free, games and emulators or camera based, which doesn't apply here. I'm happy to supply a list of some of my favorite freebies if you like but as there are tons of threads devoted to such so I won't clutter this thread with it.
Edit: Plume and Friendcaster both have free versions too but as good as I think they are I supported the development and bought the paid versions.

Indeed you can. It's very nice.

If you're going to be using XDA (which is for folks that root and flash ROMs) you'll want Titanium Backup Pro. If you don't know what that is you'll figure it out really fast the first time you screw something up...
I'd also recommend:
Wifi File Explorer Pro (super easy file transfers whenever your computer and tablet are connected to the same wifi).
Swiftkey 3 Tablet (though JellyBean apparently has a great built-in, so maybe not necessary)
ezPDF reader (full featured PDF reader with annotations)
GrooveIP (if you use google voice and want voip on your tablet)
IP Cam Viewer (pretty sure you can figure this one out from the name)
TuneInRadioPro (streaming internet radio)
Unless you need something special, don't waste your money on an office suite (google drive or Cloudon are both great). If you absolutely want one, get Quickoffice Pro HD.

What's a good program to use for streaming videos from my Windows shared network folders?
Are there any 3rd party apps that will let me listen to my Google Play Music or will it only work with the native app? Any reason the 3rd party music apps are better?
What's a good podcast listening app? Something similar to iTunes so it saves your last played location, deletes it when you finish listening to it, etc.

I recommend Tablet Talk if you use SMS a lot.
When I'm at home on my wifi network, I just leave my phone plugged in and I just bring my tablet around the house. (ie. Watching TV) It also has a pop up to inform you if there's a call on your phone.
You can also use Bluetooth to connect your tablet to your phone. But I haven't tried that yet.

Thanks much, summarizing the list so far (I will use this as a baseline productivity toolkit for my Nexus 7, reading reviews now):

Regretting i got the 8GB

How do some of you guys get around with teh 8GB version? I thought 8GB was enough for awhile, but now that i decides to put some games on i ran out of space. In fact i ran out of space as i was about to install teh game from the play store, but it stoped before it can get finished now the game isn't even there it still took up the space that it downloaded. any idea how i can get the space back

I really don't game much, I usually only have one or two installed at a time, I lose interest too quick. 8gb has been more than enough for me. I think you know the answer to your question. Move stuff off your phone that you don't need or uninstall games you don't play.

Not sure if this is gonna help you get that extra space back, but some Apps/Games download files which are stored in your SdCard/storage space.
try looking through /sdcard/Android/Data and see if you see it there and just delete the folder. If not...well i tried.

Don't have an answer for you other than moving stuff off. However to answer your question I get by perfectly fine with my 8gb. In fact I have 2.5 GB still free on mine and I will never fill it. I don't game on my phone (don't have time too) I just use it as a phone and G+ device.
I do hope you find a solution though. You could buy a 16gb then sell the 8 but I am sure you would have done that if you could

I was like you when i first bought it too, but my offline gps takes about 1 gb for my states. Then 2 custom ROM files takes about another gb and that leaves me with about 2 gb left. 1 HD game takes about another GB. The whole phone requires about 1 GB(remaining) to function normally (for camera/video features). It would also resttrict all syncing when u run under 500MB. It's rather frustrating Google didn't offer the it as a 16GB as a minimum.

I personally think the microSD option is a great idea. I don't know why so many companies abandoned it.

You're welcome haha. I went through the samething before and learned myself that some files are stored on the phone even if you uninstall the app. Hope you don't mind clicking the thank button

Cost basically. Its cheaper to manufacture without it. To keep a lower price point in the N4 (and well, the other Nexus devices), the added features of other phones (such as microSD support) are removed. Fortunately, devices are starting to ship with more internal storage (like the HTC One and S4), so I suspect the next Nexus phone will see somewhat more. Of course, if the rumors are true, there may very well be a new version of the N4 announced at I/O. We'll see.

For me it is enough. +20 songs, gta III and vice city, almost 50 apps and their backups. But hey, I'll love the 16 gb even when I'm happy with 8.
Just don't keep all the zips from nightlies of the roms

Yeah, the cloud is nice, but what about those who pay outrageous prices for their data? or those located in an area with terrible data speeds? Streaming isn't really an option because of the cost and/or buffering for those two examples. Personally, 16GB isn't enough for me at all. I have 35GB of music on my computer and while it's also uploaded to Google Music, I prefer not to stream to keep my costs down. I managed to cut my synced music down to 7GB of my most favourite tunes, so that still barely leaves me with 5GB for apps (I have about 100), pictures, games, and other misc. storage... It's pretty tight to manage, so 32GB or even 64GB would be a preferable option for me. I love everything else about the N4, so I try to live with just 16GB, but it's really quite low by today's standards. Google should have known this (and I know they do, but they just want to push their cloud services... this is old news by now)

I have the 16GB, two nandroids (one stock, one backup), 1GB of music, some pictures and a few casual games.
Left with 6GB. can't imagine life with the 8GB.

I been using drop box, it works for me.

I know when I had my 8GB N7 (now currently discontinued), I found it a pain to hold everything I wanted. Hopefully, I won't find the need to store so much on the N4.

The games I play, eg not FPS, don't take up much room so as of right now I have 4.58gb free.

Tablets are different IME, I store a bunch of comic books, books and video on my ipad so the 16gb got eaten up quickly. I don't do any of that on my n4, podcasts are on there and pics...that's about it.

I have the 8gb and loads of 1gb+ games on it, what's my secret? Delete the core file of the game when not playing and upon reopening the app it asks you to redownload it and ta-da all your data is still there!
BTW the 50gb box is use full to save carbon (renamed to helium) backups if you use 7 archiver to shrink it into 200mb zips
