Very frustrating for anyone who is on mobile or happens to like how their text renders. These images are flat out difficult to read in places.

But since I bought an MP3 album a while back, I effectively have a free cloud to store my 40GB of music in. I'll take text-ful-images for that.

Are you planning on actually using it? I uploaded some music to Amazon's mp3 when it first launched and more to Google's MP3 and I have found very little need to use either one. I obviously can't fit all my music on my phone (an android) but I generally am ok with the music I have at any particular time and swapping.

I don't stream much with it on my phone. But it's great to be able to download the album(s) I want to the device without needing to connect to my computer.

Also, can never have too many backup copies of my music.

That's going to be my primary use of this service. I already have ways of accessing my music on my home machine remotely. But an additional offsite cloud backup of 150GB for $20 a year? Sold.

I hate syncing my Fascinate with my computer. Almost more than anything. Data sync across two computers, a laptop, a chromebook and an Android phone is a nightmare.

I currently serve my media off of SubSonic but the interface is tired, the API is restricted and pay-walled, and the Android app sucks. Amazon solves all of this.

I definitely will be using it. Plus I can buy cheap-o Class 6 SDcards.
