Amazon Cloud Player?

Has anyone tried it? I'm looking for a music streaming service/device. I bought a Brennan 2 weeks ago and took it back - too unreliable.
I came across Amazon's cloud to-day. It looks too good to be true - upload up to 250,000 songs from your pc for just £21.99 a year. So I could buy an iPad for less than the cost of the Brennan and manage my music that way?
I'm loading music as I write - it takes forever. I don't think I've got enough hours left!
Any thoughts?

how much bandwidth are you going to use on your broadband streaming it though?

What exactly do you want to do?

1. Are you looking for hardware to plug in to a stereo to play your digital music through a decent stereo
2. Streaming service for to listen to at home or on the move?
3. Play all the digital music that you have at home while out and about
4. all of the above

Sonos or Squeeze box both very good off the shelf products, that are compatible with lots of streaming services and misc stored on your network storage. I'm listening to my Sonos while posting this, I have had a Squeeze box in the past but prefer the Sonos. You can also get a rasbery pi and install xbox media centre for a lowcost slotion


Last Fm, spotify and Deezer are all good as are many of the internet radio stations. all of these and many other are available on Sonos and Squeeze box.

I use Google music to make all of my music available every where while out and about. there is far more than will fit on most devices the android app has some nice settings for keeping certan music on the device.
