      Well fuck I was just thinking about actually purchasing an Amazon Music subscriptions for this purpose. I have a huge iTunes library or ripped CDs. As I grew up in the 80's 90's, that is how I acquired my media.

      YOu can still use Google Music. You can store up to 50,000 songs. I have Amazon Prime so streaming won't stop.

      I have Prime, but that does not include Music.

      Correct, just streaming, and if you have Prime Unlimited you can listen to any album you want (almost)

      Actually no. You get to stream things licensed here.

      I have a lot of music purchased in Japan also. Not available to stream here. I want to up my library someplace for this reason.

        I never want to use Google services like this again because they seem to just randomly cancel shit all the time.

          That’s what has been in the back of my mind when they have removed Google Reader, Picasa, Chrome Apps and pther products. Good food for thought.

            Also Google Voice is as good as dead because it was integrated into hangouts and then that was abandoned. Not canceled and still works, but not worth a shit.

              That’s why I went with VOIP.ms as per our conversation yesterday.

                      @jaredbusch Prime does include ability to stream and rip all music you have bought on Amazon. And Prime(not unlimited) does include lots of good streaming options for stuff you havent bought.

                        I have never argued that the music available to me because of my Prime subscription is useless. In fact, I have stated many times that I generally use the Amazon Music app on my iPhone when I want to listen to U.S. Music.

                        You do not rip music you have purchased in Amazon. You simply download it.
                        I think you have a misunderstanding of the term rip. I have CDs. Lots of them, in a plastic bin that has not witnessed the light of day in years.

                        Fully a quarter of this music is not on any U.S. streaming service.

                        I ripped this all of the music to mp3 format and dropped it into iTunes many years ago.

                        This music cannot be streamed with a service unless you pay for their upload service.

                          Is streaming that big of deal for you? I assume you don't just want it on the music device you have?

                                      It's not the callers fault someone died. It's the ill-trained police jumping in throwing bullets around.

                                      Why didn't the police just shoot everyone and anyone around him and just say... "well that kid shouldn't have pranked us, it's his fault"... same thing.

                                            And what if it wasn't a prank, but they just got the address wrong - even when these things are real they require way more verification than an anonymous phone tip. Or the shooter sent out a hostage instead of coming out himself? Bottom line, the cop murdered a completely innocent guy based on nothing. Imagine if any other job operated like that.
