Amazon MP3 iconToday Amazon launched its Cloud Player music streaming app for PC. Previously, Amazon users had to navigate to the Cloud Player website in order to their music purchased and uploaded to Amazon’s servers. With the new Cloud Player for PC, users can stream or download music to their computers without needing a web browser.

Although this is version 1.0 of Cloud Player for PC, it’s very stable and feature packed. There’s a handy universal search that’s triggered by typing when the app is in focus; no need to click on the search bar first. There’s also a bunch of automation tools in the app. For example, users can set Cloud Player to automatically add music to iTunes, Windows Media Player, and Amazon. It will even import songs from your iTunes library if you wish to use Cloud Player as your main audio player.

It’s nice to see Amazon come out with a dedicated desktop application, something its competitor, Google Music, is lacking. Amazon is also leveraging it’s physical media sales with AutoRip, which automatically gives customers a free digital version of a CD or LP.

Amazon Cloud Player is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP SP3. Oddly, Windows 8 isn’t listed as being supported.
