No (although how full the bar immediately gets does indicate the % of tracks it matched) -- I mean that if you look at the newly imported album via the Amazon MP3 web interface immediately after uploading (by selecting it via the "Recently Added" or "Imported" playlists), it will show the uploaded tracks first, followed by the matched ones.
Or at least it does for me |

I have a bandwidth cap on my WiFi. I don't on my Data plan yet. I'm practicing for later on. I am told the only way I can keep my data plan to unlimited is to pay full price for a 4G Phone when the time comes.
I get 250GB a month through my WiFi which isn't too bad but hubby has his Roku. He watches with Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon prime. So I have to sorta be careful not to hit it. We got a router now that keeps track of all this. My ISP is too lazy to let us know where we are at. My husband is a serious TV watcher. So once he cancels cable. I can see our bandwidth cap in danger! |

If these companies (manufacturers and providers) keep removing local storage from devices to force you into the cloud and then severely restrict your bandwidth; I'm going to rebel and go old school. I'm going on vacation next month and wanted to take a tablet to watch videos. I passed on the Nexus 7 because it didn't have a card slot. I doubt there'll be any new quad-core 7" tablets with card slots at $199 by then. So, I plan to take my old DVD player and a bunch of DVDs. It's bulky and not as convenient as a tablet, but it works. |

I can't I live in the boonies. I need my data plan for bad weather and internet outages. I rely on the local weather app to keep us safe. We were just flooded out a couple weeks ago well not us but our town. I was alerted through the app and was able to keep hubby from driving into an overflowed river. That alone makes it worth every penny.

Blossom I feel your pain. Having only satellite internet (or dialup) available where I live, with a 250MB/day cap, means I can't usefully strem anything at home. Add to that the fact that even if I wanted to pay out the wazoo for mobile data, I can barely get a voice signal at home so I doubt that would work either.
Because of this and the fact that it was clearly announced as a time-limited special, I never bothered to fill up my Amazon cloud drive with music, though I have to admit it's very convenient for mp3's I buy from Amazon since I can just have the music shuttled over there when I buy it and not have to download it right away. I do sympathize with the OP but it was pretty clear last year that the huge storage space was a limited promo. |

We have only one carrier this far out. All the others AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile don't do well this far out. So we pay a little more then we would like but I need my 3G! |
