How to back up your MP3 files to the OneDrive cloud Microsoft negotiated a deal with Spotify to transfer over your purchased music and playlists, but if you didn’t download them first they simply reside within the Spotify service. Instead, safeguard your MP3 files in your OneDrive cloud storage account, and use Groove Music’s app as the front end. The answer to all these threats is not to store gigabytes of MP3s locally, where they can be lost or accidentally erased. Google also “matches” songs, rather than accepting your actual uploads-if you uploaded a rare track that Google misidentified and replaced, you might be out of luck. (This won’t affect Amazon’s Music Unlimited Service, or any MP3s you’ve purchased through Amazon.)Įven Google Play Music, which allows you to upload a whopping 50,000 MP3s to its music locker, seems to be considering merging the service with YouTube Red. Amazon has quietly announced plans to shutter Amazon Music Storage, its service for uploading private MP3s to the cloud. Spotify will play them, but only from local sources (more on that later).
That’s why a generation of MP3 collectors is rightly worried about the fate of their precious live tracks and remixes.
