Hi All,

I looked at the various music options for my iPhone, and settled on Spotify.
Yes, you pay a monthly subscription, but the PC side of the Amazon Cloud
player is not accessible, and the other Itunes options involve ripping and
countless uploads.  

With Spotify I have access to all the music I could ever want.  The PC side
has accessibility issues, but I simply do everything through the app.

Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

Anthony,
You have to extract (rip) all your CD's onto a computer then load them into
the Apple cloud and use their "music match" feature. It's a $25 a year
subscription. Google Apple music match to read about it.

Thanks
