Any advantage to using, and paying £21.99, for the Amazon music locker over Google (which is free as I only have 5000 tracks). At the moment I'm only looking at playing tracks I own and Google is working well (just found a couple of issues with tags getting albums mixed but I've edited). I may be buying a Sonos player sooner but I think they both work with the Sonos app.
I know Amazon has the Auto-rip feature but is there anything else Amazon does better ?
Can't really see any. You can add Amazon, Google and Spotify apps to Sonos. When you search you can have it look like one big music library too, which is nice, so you don't have to remember which an album may be on.
Google it is then I guess.
query..is it possible to retrieve all music off google and back to PC i.e. so it is acting as a backup. I can see download option on each album but don't fancy doing it one album at a time. Amazon does have the option of retrieving the whole library.
Google only let you download a protected copy of the file I think. So you won't be downloading the MP3 file and you'll only be able to play that file via Google play.
Buy an external drive and store it on there.

It's not protected, its the original file. I've done it a few times. There is however a limit to how many times you can download it, presumably to stop people using it as a transfer service.
That's good. When I've looked at the files stored on my phone they didn't look like normal MP3 files so assumed they were a Google play only thing.
For the record, yes you can retrieve all your music off Google using 'Music Manager'. The 'Download' tab has 'Download my library' (trying it now)
