Amazon Prime Music

I think I've spent more time building my library than listening...but this Prime feature is pretty impressive, and the "free" song bank hasn't disappointed.

You can even download or update items from your private collection.

Sales pitch over. Anybody else tried this out.

(p.s. listening to Rodriguez and Jack White at the moment)

I got the email but haven't looked at the songs yet. How's my 80's selection looking?

I have Google Play as my storage cloud. Free 20,000 songs storage space. Works fine.

Are your cassette tapes wearing out or are you having a hard time finding new cars w a cassette player?

I think the older you are, the happier you will be. 80's is looking good.

A lot like your wife's hair.

After a week of checking it out, Prime music is ok, but not great.

Selection isn't bad for free older music (70's to early 80's). But, the download "feature" sucks pretty bad. You can only do in on devices (not PCs), and it downloads to the device not an external card. The format has some form of uncrackable DRM (m4a format), only playable by the Amazon MP3 player.

So, as long as your have wifi, it is pretty good. But, if you want/need to go offline, it's usefulness is pretty limited IMO.
