Amazon unveils cloud music storage service in the US

Amazon.com's been full of surprises lately. They've unveiled their own Android app store and now have gone 'to the clould' with a new music service. Launched yesterday, the Amazon cloud drive service and Amazon cloud player Android app work in tandem to offers customers 5GB of free online storage, with premium accounts expandable up to 1000GB.

Customers who purchase an MP3 album will be entitled to 20GB of storage for one year. New Amazon MP3 store purchases can be automatically added to Cloud Drive without counting toward total storage space. The idea here is that users don't need to fill their devices up with gigabytes of music and can stream music they own from online servers. Amazon, please make this International!
