So who's going to be the first to upload their illegal music so they can stream it?

All my music is legal stuff dude.

Everyone can't say that.

Ding ding!

It is important to note you get 1 free year of 20gb storage with an album purchase. Here is the email I received from Amazon after purchasing an album. I "bolded" the area so all can see.

Right. I said that on the first page.

I like the idea as a good way to backing up my music, but I have 21 gb of music, wouldn't you know it. The next plan wants $50.00 a year for 50 gb. So from what I see if I was to do this I wouldn't be getting the extra amount of storage for $30.00 a year alone.

Kind of a ripoff there, isn't it?

You can just buy one of the $0.69 albums and get your 20GBs for a year.

All my music is legal stuff dude. Sure some I bought from Russia, but that doesn't make it illegal. Does it?

One thing I noticed. The 20 gb is a one year free trial. At the end of the year you will buy the space or go back to the 5 gb. Didn't say that in the article I found earlier.

Got to read that fine print Hooky ....

I could see Google giving 20gb for free forever hehehe ... for arguement I submit MS skydrive, 25Gb with a live account, free, no time limit.

Now I KNOW we're talking more than storage here, we're talking streaming, but really, Googles servers could handle the load IMHO.

This is true…..

I think they should only charge me $30.00 for the extra space. This doesn't seem fair, sure they are giving you something but they give you 5 GB for free, then 15 more for purchasing the album. But I need more space, I'm stuck paying 50.00 the first year? I don't know, I think I'll give them a call about that.

Yes, it's true. A coworker and I purchased the Lordi single album for $0.69 this morning and got upgraded to 20Gbs.

^You two went halves-ees on $0.69?

No, sorry. We each bough the same $0.69 album. The choices weren't very good, but I do listen to Lordi so that was what we tried.
