I also have a few albums in the Amazon mp3 cloud music deal. Matt will you have to do any hot-switching of your songs to get the majority of your collection upgraded? What's the easiest way to go about upgrading my entire collection?

Shawn - I'm running a Netgear ReadyNAS with raid 1 1TB. This houses all my data (music pictures movies). I think what I'm going to do is purchase another one and set it up @ my parent's house. I'll take out one of my 1TB drives (the NAS it hot-swappable so you can do this while it's running). I'll replace it with a brand new 1TB drive then place the filled one into the new NAS. This will sync up both of my devices (this removes the initial sync of 200GB of data). Then using rsync I can keep both NAS's up-to-date.

I don't have to do any switching of the songs because I have the (temporary) premium account. I can have up to 200k songs at one time which is way more than I need to import-export all the mp3s in my collection.

Shawn now that you mention the "purchase an album to become upgraded" that rings a bell. a quick gmail search shows the email from Amazon on 5/28/11 confirming it:

"Thanks to your recent purchase of an Amazon MP3 album you have qualified for a free year of the Amazon Cloud Drive 20 GB storage plan starting today for one year."

So Brian to upgrade your entire collection you can do one of the following:

Import 250 songs to your free account; re-download all those songs; rinse and repeat
Go back in time to when they launched that promotion and buy an album
Pay $25 to get yourself a regular premium account
Wait for Amazon to have some other free promotion (idk how likely that is now that they have this feature).

New Queens of the Stone Age album . . . 5 out of 4 horsemen. Certainly the best effort yet put forth by QOTSA. It is one of the best complete works i've heard in a long time.
