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!!!!!
