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?
thanks.

Goggle music beta hands down..... I don't think they're still doing invites (call me out if I'm wrong lol )

I'm not sure.... I use beta all the time and would hate to have to pay for it..... maybe they'll keep beta open to the people who already use it and just open up a new server for the paid accounts

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.

Thank dtugg for the link

amazon gives you 20gb storage "free" if you buy any album (not 5gb...)...

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.

this could also imply that music beta is available for a limited time as well
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.

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.

$25 credit + transformers for unsupported countries

has anyone booted up a new nexus on an unsupported country? what i mean is for countries where there is no play movies, books, and magazines.
just curious if i will get it.
someone is bringing me a nexus from the US to Asia.

I would assume that seeing how your Play Store doesn't support it, you won't get it. The credit I'm not sure about though.
That is, unless you use a proxy or some other means to enable it so that you can get it. You may need to permanently use the VPN/proxy to watch the movies or read the magazines though. However once Play Music is enabled, you can use it anywhere without a proxy/VPN, you can't buy songs though.

Play music isn't supported too. But since I was in the US when it launched ..I can access it here.
So I'm thinking it may work but I won't be able to buy other content.

In the UK we can't get them but, a little fix is out there to allow you to get them all.
I tried it on my GS2 and it works.
Here is the link DroidVPN
Enjoy

Hmm, perhaps though I don't believe this works for Play Movies, Books, Magazines, TV Shows etc. but I may be wrong.

Could also just use Titanium Backup to defrost apps that are built-in (Wallet, Play Magazines, etc.) and use them. Thats' what I did.

[Q]Is the Nexus & worth it for me

Is the nexus 7 still worth it for me if i do not subscribe to stream movies, buy books and magazines, purchase songs. I do have my own collections of movies, books, songs on my pc.

I don't buy books or movies or magazines either, yet there hasn't been a day that I haven't used my N7 since the day I got it. It's wonderful.

I don't really watch movies on it but I do read books quite a bit however the thing I do most it browsing the web. I pretty much gave up using my laptop after getting my tablets.

This.
I tried to read a few magazines on mine but they take up a lot of space and its a little annoying to have to zoom into articles all the time. Watching streaming movies on the Nexus is great, constantly having them on there at your disposal is a completely different story. Same thing with music. If you want to do all that, I'd say wait for the 32 GB. The 8 GB is a joke if you want to do all that, I can't attest to the 16 GB.

I'm exactly like you but since I got this, I would say its worth every penny.

I use it primarily as a RSS reader, email reader, and to surf the web. I would say it is worth every penny.

I guess it will depend on what you want or need it for.
I use mine for everything.I have a 16gig and it is loaded with everything I use and it still has over 10gigs free space.I have lots of pictures stored on the device and quite a few songs in a playlist as well.I have lots of tv shows and movies loaded on my computer and it does not take long to stick something on the nexus if I want them on the device.I watch it and then get rid of it.No use carrying it on the device when I have already watched it.I have it all loaded on a stick drive that is always with me so storage is no biggy at all any more.
I use mine for checking email, streaming music to my truck stereo and having maps and gps during the day.When at home I surf the web and watch hbo and other streaming sites with it.I use BS player and can stream all the video stored on my computer as well.I also use it for reading my kindle books with the Amazon app.
I KNOW I get my moneys worth out of my n7 and am just scratching the surface on things I can do with it since it is my first Android device.:laugh:.

Of course it does. With the apps available out there, I'm sure you will find something that can help you with whatever you want to do.

^^This right here. Same for me. I love this thing. I really had no need for it. I bought it with every intention of returning it. I have 10" tab...have a gs3...have no need for this tab at all...however I love this thing. It is damn near perfect. It was worth every penny. Most places have a return policy, if you are unhappy return it. I couldn't.

Came with the phone. It's been talked about in several dedicated threads.

Yup Google gives you the movies for free with the phone. Google linked to YouTube, so now you can watch those movies too.

Sweet, sorry for not searching the forums but good to know.

no pre loaded movies or videos

my 16GB n10 that i recently got only came with magazines and a few novels/books. i thought the n10 came with some other stuff, like the ice age 1 movie, and some 'example' videos to show off the display. mine has none of that?
or does google change these as the months go by?
edit: would the ice age 1 movie need to be streamed from play movies app? cus when i went to 'personal videos', there was nothing there, just empty.
i live in canada. my n10 was shipped from the US

I don't believe there's any video, mine was bought on Amazon and had 0 things loaded, did you get any magazine or nook before? Also to showoff your screen use this video:

Just open the Google movies app and search for ice age... It will let you stream it/download it for free
