Big Changes for Amazon Cloud - Page 8

Atunah · 08-03-2012, 05:43 PM

Thanks for the welcome.
I have the free 5 GB and the trial cloud premium right now.
The trial expires on September 2nd, and the 5GB storage doesn't have a expiration.
I took a screenshot, let me see if I can figure out how to add it.

Sorry, I can't figure out how to get the flickr photo to show up.

This isn't good

. Why don't I get that option. I would do it for 24.99/$25, but not for $50.

I don't understand why some of us are treated differently here.

Wow, that's definitely different from mine!

I'm wondering if Amazon is offering the bundled plans only to people who had the promotional 20GB w/ unlimited song plan?

It's suddenly not a good deal if you don't get the data plan bundled in.

Google has a free plan that gives you 5GB of data and 20,000 songs. You might consider that.

And that is what I see, too.

Guess it depends on what your 'previously free' plan was?

I modified the OP with the following:

Thanks to information I learned from Atunah, it's come to my attention that Amazon has different pricing plans for different people. Why, I have no idea. Anyway, the subscription options for Atunah show plans where music is a separate plan priced at $25 per year on top of the data plan prices (see below). For further details, see the thread starting with post 106.

Clearly, this is a significant increase in cost for those who are not offered the bundled plans. They may wish to consider Google's free 20,000 song plan.

Evidently. Not such a great deal if the data isn't bundled in.

So they are only offering a combo plan to current premium members. Those who use the free service have to pay for both. So if you let your promo expire then you wont get the combo but have to purchase each separate. Now that email I posted makes sense!

Sucks, doesn't it?

Yes I think it's a bit steep. I'm only interested in the music part so whether I get both services isn't important. I have plenty of cloud space with Dropbox 19GB and Box.net 50GB so I really don't need anymore.

Mine also looks like Atunah's, two separate charges for upgrading from the free options.

I only just got my email yesterday, and it doesn't say anything about "unlimited Amazon music". It just says 250 songs free. I'm going to have to go deeper into my account settings when I get home.

I fully expected the "free 20gb" to go away. I didn't expect the "free Amazon music" to go too!

You still get free unlimited storage of all songs purchased from Amazon. That doesn't change.

The 250 song limit refers to songs not purchased from Amazon.

Atunah · 08-03-2012, 07:15 PM

I could use the storage, I only have a 2GB free dropbox and I need a little more space. I'd like to keep all my stuff together on amazon, songs and stuff. I don't use any google products really, so I have no clue how their stuff works.

This means that I have to delete some of my music now as I am going over the 250 limit. I am not paying $50 for something that others get for $25.

I guess I'll have to live with the 250 song limit until I figure something out.
