Amazon is killing its music storage subscription service

Amazon is planning to retire its music storage subscription service, the plan that enabled Amazon users to upload their own music to the company's servers.

Amazon customers who have purchased MP3s from the online retailer, as well as those who have purchased music discs from it that include AutoRip digital versions, will still have access to those downloads in the cloud. You can now and still will be able to access both those varieties of digital content on your desktop and mobile devices.

The shutdown affects both the free storage plan, which allowed for 250 songs to be stored in the cloud, as well the paid plan – originally $25 per year – which offered cloud storage for up to 250,000 songs.

The news first spotted by Slashgear said, you can no longer upload tracks as of this week. If you have a subscription plan and music in the cloud locker, you won’t be able to stream or download your MP3s after January 2019. However, you have until January 15 to sign up if you want this subscription.
