Amazon to Provide CD Buyers With Cloud-Based MP3s For Free
I wonder how many people both buy CD's and care about CloudPlayer? I guess I don't know anyone from either party so there's a chance of there being some overlap. To me this seems like an utter waste of resources.How about offering a Spotify-like streaming service? How about making CloudPlayer free for the first 20,000 songs like Google Play? How about making a web player that doesn't make me feel like I'm in Target? What about a web store that's really accessible for indie musicians (that means without labels). I really want to like Amazon Music, but at this point it doesn't really feel like a competitor in my demographic (college, computer-savvy).Edit: Those who think that buying CD's is supporting artists should know that if you buy an MP3 from them instead they generally get a lot more profit.
