Amazon Cloud player now works with iOS

One would think that someone in Amazon would have said something. But no, the company instead chose to offer a silent update to its player online cloud music service now enables users running Apple iOS to tap into the sectors of music on the Web service.

This fixes one of the biggest criticisms imposed to the Amazon Cloud player, when he came out, namely that you try to access the site on an iPad, iPod touch or iPhone led absolutely nothing new. Nothing but a tease, which is - users would be able to load the player cloud site in its entirety. However, trying to download all the files of music on the online service would generate a prompt to install Adobe Flash, a poorly perceived in iOS. And try to play really all of the files via the service has absolutely nothing.

But that was at the time. Now, clubbing them cloud Amazon Reader use Safari on a mobile device from Apple actually leads to a working player. As long as users click the first interface and play songs using media warning that Safari is not supported on the cloud player, they will be able to access the cloud Player control buttons located in the lower left corner of the screen. And for connected users iOS, songs that are jamming will automatically pause the device receives a kind of Notification Push or incoming call.

Users can even use the cloud player to create and manage playlists if they have enough dexterity to digital. We have the expression as we do, for users accessing ultimately the player cloud via Safari as opposed to a specific iOS design Web interface or, better yet, a real application of the Amazon. This makes it a little more difficult to navigate through the directory of the song and perform different actions. And users seeking to download songs from their Apple devices to cloud player are still left in the darkness of the Flash/iOS incompatibility issue.

Nevertheless, be able to play the songs of cloud player on a device equipped with iOS is a strong step by Amazon. There is no indication as to whether if Amazon plans to continue to build support for iOS in its cloud drive. However, it would be useful to time the company would have any project to go toe to toe against Apple rumor iCloud service. After all, Amazon still has a fairly steep slope climbing to compete against a cloud-based player that it intertwines with iOS itself.
