Amazon Cloud Offering Unlimited Music Storage to Compete With Google, Apple

Amazon Cloud Player, the online retailer’s cloud-based music service, has announced that it is now offering unlimited music storage.

"The changes affect all new purchases of Cloud Drive storage plans. If a user spends $20 for a year’s worth of storage, he or she will still get 20 GB of space. However, MP3s and AAC files no longer count against the limit. This applies to all Cloud Drive plans, although Amazon says the deal is only available 'for a limited time.' Non-paying users of the service will still get 5 GB of space for free."
