I bought a $1.99 album and it worked. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 6, 08:07
I was considering buying the Songs for Japan. -- nm - Amy Apr 6, 07:53
Yes, any album as far as I know. (I've only bought a $1.99 album since it kicked off, and I got the 20gb upgrade.) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 07:51 16
- is there a monthly fee to keep the cloud going? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 6, 07:51 15
  - Wait, I hadn't noticed this before. My 20GB upgrade "trial" ends on April 3, 2012. It doesn't look like it's permanent (yet). -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 07:56 5
    - I don't think it's every permanent. It's supposed to be for 1 year from album purchase IIRC -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 08:01 4
      - But if I buy another album within a year, does the trial period shift? -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 08:05 3
        
        That's what I wonder. If not, what's the point? -- nm - Jim Apr 6, 08:05 2
        
        The point might be to get another $20/year for the 20GB from you once you get used to it. - JaxSean Apr 6, 08:07 1
        
        That would be my expectation. But I think I'd pay the $20 for a year. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 6, 08:11
  - well, if you buy an album this year you get an extra 15gb free. no idea what happens next year - tRuMaN Apr 6, 07:56 2
    - hmmm - they get everyone hooked on it and then we all pay to keep our access to our stuff? - Epiphany Apr 6, 07:57 1
      - Any purchases you make of Amazon mp3's don't count toward your storage. It's only additional uploaded files. - JaxSean Apr 6, 07:58
  - Nope. Unless you want more than the 20gb. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 07:53 5
    - kind of like building your own playlists on Pandora without the commercials? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 6, 07:55 4
      - More like uploading your iPod to the web and play it anywhere. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 08:05 3
        
        but 20 GB is nothing really. -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 08:11
        
        interesting -- nm - Epiphany Apr 6, 08:07 1
        
        I forgot to bring my Zune today, so I'm listening to my cloud. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 08:08
Since it mentions the 20GB upgrade on the album's page I'd assume it would qualify. -- nm - Ender Apr 6, 07:45
