I was wondering if anyone has any comments?

so far my Kindle HD only has books but I'm curious about music.

Sound quality? Any free music?

I'm a '70s girl....

I don't know about free music but I buy albums and single songs. My Kindle HD is my constant companion, so all my music is on it. I have no problems with sound quality. I'm not a techie and I'm not a musician, my stuff sounds great too me. That's all I need. I love that when I think about an old song or a favorite singer from the old days, I can go to Amazon; find it, buy it and it takes just minutes.

thank you for your reply chrystaltree. I'm in the same league as you. I was looking at Bobby Vinton songs, then I think The Eagles..... thank you again.

If you already own any music it's a snap to transfer it to your Kindle Fire HD. Amazon has their Cloud Player that lets you upload your music to Amazon's servers from your computer and then download it to your Kindle Fire HD. Or you can keep it on the cloud and stream it to your player when you want to hear it. I've got thousands of songs on Amazon's cloud (so many that I had to buy more space than the free space they give everyone) and it's amazing to be able to listen to any song I own from any of my albums in just a few seconds. I love it!

I have over 2300 songs on my ipod from CDs that I owned. I didn't buy them from Itunes. I can't back them up and deathly afraid of losing them. (I've donated the CDs since then)

How easy is it for a non-techie to load music to their cloud?

Amazon gives customers free storage of 250 tracks of your own music. You pay to storage the rest. A track is one song. If you buy music (mp3's) from Amazon, storage is free. A better suggestion would be to play music with an app(s) Pandora or Tune in Radio.
