Customers no longer need to go through the hassle of making a digital copy of a vinyl record. Additionally, customers who have purchased AutoRip records at any time since Amazon first opened its Music Store in 1998 will find digital copies of those albums in their Cloud Player libraries also for free. Thousands of records, including titles from every major record label, are available for AutoRip, and more titles are being added all the timejust look for the AutoRip logo.

It's a fun experience to suddenly find CDs you purchased just todayor 15 years agoadded automatically and free of charge to your digital library. We're thrilled to extend this experience to vinyl records.

Amazon Cloud is one of the best services Ive ever used on the internet; ever. The AutoRip feature has just upped the ante again.
Amazon, thank you so much for creating the AutoRip feature. What a huge surprise!! All of this great music Ive bought over the years on my laptop and Kindle Fire HD and anywhere else we wish!! You rock.
AutoRip is simply awesome. A cloud player is a commonplace item these days, but MP3 files of CDs purchased in last 15 years instantly loaded and do not count toward number of songs quota?!! I even forgot that I purchased a Chick Corea CD back in 2002, yet Amazon gives me the MP3 files instantly. What a *very nice* surprise. Thank you Amazon!
Thank you for this new service AutoRip...AWESOME!!!!!
