Possible? Yes? Probable: not at all. Contrariwise, I think it's VERY LIKELY that some Big Corp. (Google, Amazon, Whatever) will lock you outside your data somewhere in the future. You know, it's already happening all the time and people continue to underestimate this FUNDAMENTAL flaw of this giant shit called cloud computing.

As Richard Stallman famously said some time ago, cloud computing is for stupids. No doubt about that.

P.S.If I need to carry data with me, I've got plenty of options to choose from....
P.P.S.I'm not a damn uber-manager that the corporate and Apple propaganda would transform every people in. I'm just a user, and frankly I don't give a fuck about "important meetings". If I need something, I prepare it in time. Again, wrong argument.

This seems to give you the option of uploading more songs for storage, while I'm not 100% sure if you can redownload everything you upload, this would really just give you a back up, you can still keep your files with you.

You can. I tried re-downloading and it worked.

I'd rather build my own "cloud storage" solution, giving me enough storage for no additional monthly fee. But then, I have my server at home and I like trying to build technological marvels that never get finished (or barely started for that matter).

The last time I did a backup it was 80 Gigabytes of data. With my 7 Megabit ADSL (384 Kbits in upstream), I highly doubt I will have the urge to use ANY form of cloud backup anytime in the future....

Incremental backup, we've been doing it for years in the work world and 80GB is a single database among hundreds for a lot of us.

I'm not advocating cloud per se, but there's no reason you have to upload 80GB of data several times a month.
Cloud is a fancy name for what we've had for 30 years. With that said, if your backup server isn't offsite it's not really cloud. Server space is pretty cheap, you can rent it from whomever you like. Rackspace for your own server is pricey because you're competing for space with people who'll put a massive box that runs 3-10 virtual machines in the same spot and write it off as a business expense.

For a home backup solutions I like the Synology line of products. These things just can't be beat as far as simple or power consumption goes (you literally can't do this yourself). Save your efforts for more bang, imo, something that really will be better than anything you can buy when you're done:)

Incremental what? The last time I tried this "wonder" (with Norton Ghost 10, dear Lord) it took me the exact amount of time needed to do a complete, 80 GB backup. And you know, time is precious these days....

Screw Norton anything. Try rsync.

Soundcloud?

Already found my equilibrium with Macrium Reflect & DirSync Directory Synchronizer :-P

I don't own the copyright on these music clips. They'd be very short segments for demo purposes only.

Ah... Still, people upload copyrighted stuff there all the time. <.<

Given that you don't own the copyright, wouldn't it be illegal for you to host them anywhere?

Not if the clips are fair use. This is why movie reviews can include clips of the actual movie, even without copyright holder consent.

Note, in legal cases fair use is an affirmative defense, which means that both sides agree that you distributed copyrighted material sans permission, you assert that you're doing so falls under the Fair Use clause and must prove it.

Interesting.

I will never use it, but it's interesting.

Exactly.

I don't want to make money off of these, I just want to be able to use small song clips for demonstration purposes. Nothing more.
