some feedback:
the cloud website proper needs to support artwork imo. google does.
in the winamp app, the ML column for the cloud has an up arrow for something NOT in the cloud, and nothing for something in the cloud. this is backwards and messy.
first of all, there should not be an indication of a negative, meaning the up arrow denoting something not in the cloud. it should be the other way around, some kind of dot or checkmark showing that something IS in the cloud, a positive indication something "made it"
secondly, a lot of users are going to have a lot more music than the cloud provides space for, so this indication of a negative just clutters up the ML tracks pane. its like having a visual indicator for some missing tag, it just isn't appropriate. alternatively, you could, by pref, use red and green dots to show what isn't or is (respectively) in the cloud. but visually indicating only a negative is frankly, nonsense.
however, it would make sense to have a toggle in the NP file info pane, a button that one would click to upload the current song. the button should itself also display if the current song is uploaded or not, (i.e. pull double duty).
I still have never gotten an email from the cloud about the cloud.

wouldn't this be a perfect job for winamp agent? it could be made multi threading and work outside of winamp proper, so a separate process and it wouldn't crash winamp. it could copy and upload the DB files as well to be translated serverside to MySQL.
this is how google does it kinda, in that they use a tray app, and it monitors for changes.
