Not everything on Amazon Music can be streamed, and some stuff they just simply don't have in their online library at all. The locker was nice because I had uploaded over a thousand songs that I had from my CD library that Amazon doesn't offer via Amazon Music. Pushing the button means you will have a copy of those songs until sometime in 2019. When I log in to view my subscription, I get this notice: "Your music storage subscription which enables you to import up 250,000 songs will expire on April 8, 2018 After this date you will not be able to renew your subscription or upload more songs. In order to continue to play and download your uploaded songs after your subscription expires, select "Keep my songs." Otherwise, these songs will removed from your library. Amazon music digital purchases will remain securely stored for playback and download."

Pretty sure you can do the same thing with iTunes or Google Play Music, no? I've easily got around 50k songs uploaded to GPM for that purpose. It was useful to be able to stream my full library when I was working on a Chromebook with puny internal memory.

  Used to be able to do it on Amazon and Microsoft Groove too. It's getting harder to find a service that integrates my music with the stuff in their streaming catalog. After iTunes Match trashed my music library a couple years ago I don't trust them anymore, so that just leaves Google at this point. How long until they stop offering this option?

    If they stop this option, I'm moving off of it ASAP. It's the only feature keeping me on there.

  Used to be able to do it with Microsoft Groove via OneDrive, I moved to Amazon when MS cancelled that. I generally avoid Google and Apple products. I'll probably end up reviving a Plex server and setting that up, it was just nice to be able to mix streaming services with owned music in a transparent manner.
