Amazon also has a cloud music service that works with the iPhone called Amazon Cloud Player. However, Amazon only allows uploading 250 cloud songs from your music collection.

The song will automatically play in the web browser and even give you a black music playback screen to save battery power.

You can also exit the browser and open other applications or navigate anywhere on the device and the music still plays.
