To get started all you need to do is to purchase a song or an album from the Amazon MP3 store and click ' Save to your Amazon Cloud drive'. Your music gets saved instantly and and it's also free, since you bought it on Amazon this will not be charged and will not count to your against your storage quote.


next you can click the 'Launch Amazon Cloud Player' and start listening. You can also use the cloud player to search your library, create playlists and download to your computer.


If you want to add music to your cloud player from your PC all you need to do is to click the 'Upload to your cloud drive' button and you can add your favorite music to your cloud player. 


You can also use the cloud player with an Android device by installing the Amazon MP3 App on your phone. After which you will be able to stream music to your device from your cloud player.


So now users don't have to be bothered with how to store music they buy this makes things really simple. Simply purchase and store it in the cloud. All users get 5GB of storage free and 20 GB of storage if they buy an entire album it is $1 / GB after that. 


The Advantages are you can buy music and not be worried about syncing, play on the go, no need to download to every new device you buy, music will always be safe even if something goes wrong with your device, one single place that has all your music that you can access from anywhere.


Cloud drive does not let you store music only but also photos and documents and different kinds of content in addition to tunes. 


Amazon Cloud Drive and Cloud Player works with any PC, Mac or Android device for now. Users of other mobile devices will have to wait a while longer to be able to use the services.

FarmVille Pot of Gold Guide


The guide found below is part of the the official guides released by Zynga FarmVille.


Been collecting all those special Gold Pieces for St. Patrick’s Day? Well the wait is over and the Pot of Gold is now available! Just put your collected Gold Pieces into it and then redeem them for St. Patrick’s Day-themed unique prizes!
Pot_of_gold01
You’ll get your somewhat empty-looking Pot of Gold free the first time you play FarmVille after the update, and you will immediately be entered into Placement Mode. You can place the Pot of Gold on your farm now, or you can choose to place it in your Gift Box for use later (by switching to the Multi-Tool for instance).
Pot_of_gold02
Once the Pot of Gold is on the farm you can click on it, then select “Look Inside” to see this window:
Pot_of_gold03
The Pot of Gold works like many of our other item-gathering style events in FarmVille. You acquire Gold Pieces through various methods, then “Use” them to place them in your Pot of Gold. As you accumulate these items you can redeem them for exclusive items.
You can acquire Gold Pieces by:
* Harvesting your Leprechaun’s Cottage.
* Requesting Gold Pieces from your neighbors directly (by clicking on the “Ask for More” button).
* Receive a Gold Piece from a neighbor who uses the Free Gifts page (or click on “Send Gold”).
* Purchase 5 Gold Pieces at a time by clicking on the “Buy Gold” button (for 5 Farm Cash).
* Click on a Pot of Gold-related feed from a neighbor.
* Visiting a neighbor and harvesting their Leprechaun’s Cottage (if they have one).
Here are the five different types of Gold Pieces (note they all count as the same when you put them in the Pot of Gold):
Pot_of_gold08
As you put Gold Pieces in your Mailbox you’ll see the gold coin meter on the left fill up. The physical look 
of the pot also changes as you stuff it full of gold.
Pot_of_gold05
You can also click on the “Comparison” tab to compare how many Valentines you’ve accumulated with your neighbors.
To get one of the special exclusive prizes, simply click on the “Redeem” button next to the prize you want—if you have enough gold (the available amount of gold that is redeemable is at the top of the window) you’ll be asked to confirm the purchase. 
Pot_of_gold06
If you hit “Accept” the prize will be stored in your Gift Box and you can share an extra prize with your friends.
Pot_of_gold07
Note: unlike a few of our previous item-gathering events, there will not be a second page of exclusive prizes added. These six items are pretty much it for this event.

iMafia Wars Attack, defense and weapon stats

If you are playing Mafia Wars on your iPhone and you have questions relating to your weapons and how to attack and defend this guide is then for you.


Everyone always seems to be asking the same question...

Why are my attack and defense staying the same when I buy more weapons?

The answer is pretty easy to explain, but there are some things you need to keep in mind before the answer is explained:

1. You are allowed to take 500 mafia members into battle with you.

2. Since you're only allowed to take 500 mafia into a fight with you, that means you're only allowed to take 501 weapons, 501 defensive items, and 501 vehicles with you into battle. (500 mafia plus yourself = 501)

3. The highest-level items you can buy are Rocket Launcher, Night Vision Goggles, and Towncar.

4. The system will automatically add your highest attack and defense items together to form your overall attack and defensive stats. For example, if you have 100 mafia, and only buy 100 bonus weapons, then your total attack and defense score will be 200/200, since each bonus weapon has 20 attack and 20 defense.


So, with these things in mind, if you have been buying more weapons but your attack stats aren't going up, then one of the following things might be wrong.

1. Do you have 500 mafia members? If you only have say, 100 mafia, then the system is only going to be adding your attack and defense stats from weapons for the 100 mafia members you have. If you add more mafia members, and buy more weapons, your attack and defense stats should go up.

2. Are you buying the very best weapons, defensive items, and vehicles available to you? If you are buying weapons that are less in attack or defense power than what you currently have, then those numbers won't be added to your total stats.
