Amazon Launches Cloud Player

Amazon has officially entered the streaming music business with the launch of Cloud Player, a music player that lets anyone upload their music to Amazon's servers and play them via online web or Android.

Cloud Player service feature adds a new "Save to Amazon Cloud Drive" button for saving MP3s to the cloud, with a given 5 GB of free storage each user as well as an option to upload music from a hard drive to a user's Cloud Drive.

Probably Grooveshark is the most comparable service to Cloud Drive, which also lets you upload your music, though Amazon has several major advantages in its MP3 store, its longstanding payment system and its stronger brand recognition.

Meanwhile, Google and Apple have been rumored to be hard at work on their own cloud-based players, but it looks like Amazon beat them to the punch.
