The Cloud Drive is designed to store documents, pictures, videos, and music. Music stored here can't be played from here. It needs to be downloaded to a player first. The Cloud Drive is Amazon's version of DropBox.

Thanks. Sheesh, I don't want Amazon scanning my hard drive for songs!
I must be missing something, because if you already own a song and have it on your hard drive, why would you need Amazon as a middleman? Why not just load and play the song yourself?
I tried to log in to the Cloud Drive and/or the Cloud Player, and I'm presented with a box requiring me to accept the new TOS. Which means I need to wade through pages and pages of legalistic gibberish. I think I just want to opt out!
