Amazon makes a power move in the realm of music streaming by launching its Music Cloud Storage product “Amazon Cloud Drive.”  It can be used to store anything (music, video, photos, documents) up to 5 gigabytes for FREE (yea, Free).

Here are some of the benefits that Amazon Cloud Drive gives:

-You never have to worry about getting your files back if you’re laptop, mp3 player, drive gets lost stole or damaged.

-You can access your files from any computer - retrieve everything via your amazon account.

-Any music you buy from the amazon store will be stored for free. Meaning it will not count towards your cloud storage file limit.

-If you buy an album from the amazon store you will receive an extra 20 gigs of storage for a year. (Not freaking bad at all)

Learn more about the benefits of this new offering on their website: https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/learnmore

Starting March 19th, Rhythm and Blues hopefuls can register at Essence.com/RBStar to enter their contest. The winner of the contest will receive:

• 1 year artist Management with KWL Enterprises (Kevin Lile’s group)

In person auditions will be held in NY, ATL, & LA. You may also submit entries online if you are unable to attend.

So I guess you’ve heard that Facebook and Warner Brothers will be teaming up to test streaming movies within the facebook experience. The first movie they will be testing is Dark Knight. According to Digital Media Wire:

Facebook users will be able to pay via the social network’s virtual currency, Facebook Credits, and movies will cost 30 credits — or $3 — for a 48-hour rental period.

What do you think? Is this a good move by Facebook/Warner Brothers? Vote and or comment and let us know what you think.
