Amazon rumored clinching major labels for cloud music rights, iTunes Match feels the heat

Amazon Cloud Player

When we last checked in, Amazon was thought to finally be pushing for complete songs rights in its Cloud Drive and Cloud Player services. It could be a smooth operator at the negotiating table: following strategies to CNET keep that the leading four significant labels (a currently-independent EMI as well as Sony, Universal and Warner) have all signed deals that will let Amazon supply the same scan-and-match popular music downloads and streaming as Apple’s iTunes Match. The pacts might let Amazon offer access to every track a listener has without having to directly upload each track that wasn’t bought directly from Amazon MP3. Aside from closing a conspicuous gap, the promotion might end a entire bunch of acrimony from labels who were distressed that Amazon preferred a free-but-limited service over needing to charge anything. The on-line store hasn’t said anything formal yet (if at all), however any trademarks on the dotted line will leave Google Music as the odd male out.
