Amazon Cloud Player-Anyone using it?

I just tried out the Amazon Cloud Player for the first time. If you buy an album from them you get upgraded to 20gb of storage. A $5 record and you get 20gb of online storage? Not a bad deal even if I don't end up using the player.

However, at first blush, this seems pretty cool. The player instantly had the record I bought available right away (Alexi Murdoch's Towards the Sun, which I like a lot so far. Sort of Nick Drake meets Damien Juardo. Not a stretch, but still.).

The next test is how long it takes to upload stuff. I'm trying to upload about 9gb of stuff Says it's gonna take 3 hours. We shall see.

So, are you interested in the Amazon Cloud Player? It may be a service without a real use. What do you think?
