Did You Get Your 20GB of Free Music Storage on Amazon Yet?

As you may know, Amazon has introduced a new service called Amazon Cloud Player. This lets you upload and play your personal music collection from any supported web browser or on your Android mobile device. You can also purchase your MP3’s from Amazon and store them in your Cloud Player and it doesn’t count against your allowed storage.

Right now, you can sign up for CloudPlayer and get 5GB of online storage for free. Not much for you extreme collectors out there, but quite a bit for the average person. No worries, though. Amazon is running a promotion that will give you an additional 15GB of storage just by purchasing an MP3 album from the MP3 Store. Any old album will do and you end up with 20GB of cloud storage for your music.

I got mine by purchasing The 99 Most Essential Relaxing Classics [Amazon Exclusive]. At the time, it was $0.99. Lucky me, right? Anyway, there are still some great deals in the store that will qualify you for your own 20GB of cloud storage. Here are a few areas to check out:
