I'm curious if they really are doing that. It could lend some weight to their claims they don't need the music industries permission to launch a music service as they aren't streaming things, the users are accessing their own files.
- whyenot 15y agoI think they are. I bought the album and at first my locker had only a few of the songs marked as playable, a few minutes later, more were playable, and after maybe 5 minutes they were all playable. To me, the best explanation for this behavior was that it was taking some time for Amazon to copy all my purchased songs over to my locker. ps: I'm not a big Lady Gaga fan, but for 99 cents I figured I'd give it a whirl.
- mikiem 15y ago...and is the assumption that the Amazon music service uses AWS or something like it, and the speed of EBS or something like it is too slow at this scale for the songs to be instantly playable?
