> I also used to use Amazon's MP3 cloud service, wherein you would upload your own music into "the cloud" and it would forever be in your amazon account. Then one day I realized that "forever" only lasts for a few years because they had sent me one e-mail that got caught in my spam filter warning me of "the cloud"'s imminent demise and that I need to download all my MP3's within a month before they're gone forever. Luckily they aren't actually gone forever, because most of them were on my old iPod or were ripped from CDs that I still have but it still soured my opinions against relying on anything I can't control.

Funny story. I got that email too.

But when I visit my Amazon music library, all of those old uploads are still there. They were never deleted.

Odds are the music you uploaded to Amazon is still there too.
