Cloud music is a new thing in the industry. Cloud music started ever since cloud storage existed. The idea sprang up, but was never done. Amazon has launched the fully fledged service with Google launching one soon. Apple is playing catch up to this though. The big question is, is this really convenient?
Would you like to upload tons of music you downloaded or pirated to Amazon which could take hours considering how big your music collection is. It would take a long time to do so even for just the sole benefit of the fact your music might finally be organized.
It costs cash. Amazon offers 5GB free of music storage. I don't think that's enough for most people. You can pay per year for extra storage like any other storage provider, but get upgraded to 20GB automatically if you buy an album. They also claim if you buy music from them, they'll add it to your cloud folder automatically. That sounds nice, but when did consumer stupidity come to play? Consumers don't know everything in the world, but they don't like an inconvenience.
Cloud music has a lot of work to do, but the war for music has just only started.
