A cloud is a service that is accessed and consumed in real-time over the internet. In the context of digital music, cloud computing would allow consumers to host their entire digital music library online and stream it in real-time from a computer or internet-enabled device.
Amazon Cloud service: Amazon’s Cloud Drive enables consumers to store all Amazon purchased music, books, videos etc on company servers in addition to storing content uploaded from a local hard drive.
Google’s Music beta: The service is currently available via invite only. Google doesn’t have an online store equivalent to Amazon’s MP3 store. All music stored in Google’s cloud must be uploaded from a computer.
Apple iCloud: A platform that will allow users to store content in the cloud and synchronise data across their many devices, including the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and PC.
