you didn't get 20 gb free?

i like amazon cause they're always giving away $2-3 to use up and they have a ton of free music

they didn't offer me 20GB free :(

20GB costs $20/year  :dunno:

If you buy an album over $5 they give you the 20GB.  I got mine this morning.

There is a catch.  The 20GB is only free for a year... if you don't renew at the 1 year mark they drop back to 5GB.  I wonder what they do with your shit if you're over the 5GB?

I like amazon as I cant bring myself to buy anything with DRM

This may be me being in dumb mode, but isn't all iTunes music DRM free these days?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711

Didnt know that. Looking at http://crave.cnet.co.uk/digitalmusic/itunes-plus-everything-you-need-to-know-49300555/ though there still seems to be some gripes (your info as part of the downloaded file, having to pay to un-DRM all the stuff you usually bought and having it in a format that's not as usable as plain old MP3)...

I doubt I'll change my methods of buying music ;)

According to their twitter:
#Cloudplayer Tip: Any music you purchase from Amazon MP3 and immediately send to #clouddrive doesn't count against your storage limits.

Just bought off amazon yesterday - trying out their chart toppers for .69.  Easy.  First experience with cloud drive.  I didn't use it a lot - just long enough to download what I want....pretty straight forward though.

Rough guess?  Maybe $60/$70.  I don't buy much music and I haven't bought a CD in a LONG time.

Last year I spent $20 in the last 6 months, so probably somewhere around 40/year. Like I said, a lot of albums are under $10, and I frequently find deals where I get $3 off. If I bought physical albums, I suspect it would be much higher than that. (Or much lower, because I might download the album illegally.)

I used to spend an awful lot more - around £200 - £300 per year, but in the last year or so I cut down massively
