One of the selling points of Cloud Player is that regardless of which device you have with you (within limits when it comes to iOS devices), you should have access to your music. Rather, you must play each song using this tap-and-download method. Regrettably, there doesn’t seem to be a way to play a series of songs with one command. A QuickTime window will appear, and your track will play. From the menu that appears, select Download. Once you do, simply tap a track and then tap the triangle menu icon. If, for example, you choose to identify the browser as Safari Desktop, you can access the contents of your Cloud Drive. Each of these browsers allows you to change the transmitted identity of your browser. This is not a limitation of the iOS device, but rather Amazon’s unwillingness to stream this content to iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads. When it receives a request from just such a browser, you see a message that your browser is not supported. Rather, Amazon is looking for browsers identified as Mobile Safari. The Cloud Player doesn’t support the playback of these tracks on an iOS device. So, if you upload a 256kbps MP3 file, that’s the quality of stream you’ll receive. The Cloud Player streams tracks to your computer at their native bit rate. Or, as with previews within the iTunes Store, just click the Play icon that appears next to tracks when you hover your cursor over them. To play your music from within your browser, select some music-open a playlist for example-and click the Play All button. To uncheck everything in these lists, just uncheck the main Playlists and Artists entries. However, you can select individual albums and tracks listed under the Artists entry. If you click the plus button next to a playlist, you’ll see the contents of that playlist, but you won’t be able to upload individual tracks from that playlist-it’s all or nothing. This reveals Playlists and Artists entries with plus buttons next to them.Ĭlick the plus button next to one of these entries, and you’ll see your iTunes playlists and artists, respectively, with a check mark next to each one. If, like many of us, there’s no way all of your music will fit, click the plus (+) button next to the All Music entry. The estimated time this will take appears in the window’s bottom-right corner. If you have a fairly small music collection that can fit in 5GB of storage, click the Start Upload button and all of your music will be uploaded to the service. Similarly you can’t upload tracks greater than 100MB, nor ringtones, podcasts, audiobooks, and, according to Amazon, “other non-music audio files.” The service doesn’t support WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, FLAC, or Ogg file formats. Compatible music includes unprotected MP3 and AAC files. Near the bottom of the window you’ll see the amount of storage you have available as well as how much more storage you’ll need to upload all your compatible music (along with a Buy Additional Storage link). The MP3 Uploader will churn through your iTunes library and eventually detail the number of songs and playlists it found that aren’t on your Cloud Drive.
