AutoRip eliminates the challenge of making a digital copy of your vinyl records
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 3, 2013-- (NASDAQ: AMZN)Amazon today announced it has extended its popular AutoRip service to vinyl records. AutoRip was introduced in January of this year to give customers free digital copies of CDs they purchase. Starting today, when customers purchase an AutoRip vinyl record, a digital copy of that music will be automatically added to their Cloud Player libraries where it will be available, free of charge, for immediate playback or download. 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.
AutoRip has been wildly popular with customers since it launched earlier this year, said Steve Boom, Vice President of Digital Music for Amazon. 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. Many of our music customers are vinyl fans and it's traditionally been very difficult to make digital versions of vinyl recordsnow customers can enjoy the albums they buy wherever they are, not just when they have access to a record player.
AutoRip features include:
Free digital copies: Amazon customers who purchase AutoRip vinyl records get free MP3 versions of the albums delivered directly to their Cloud Player librariesautomatically, immediately, and at no costno more hassling with finding a way to get them onto your favorite devices.
For vinyl record purchases dating back to 1998: MP3 versions of AutoRip records that customers have purchased since the launch of Amazon's music store in 1998 will also be delivered to their Cloud Player libraries for free.
Enjoy everywhere: Music can be played instantly from any Kindle Fire, Android phone or tablet, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Samsung TV, Roku, Sonos, from any web browser, and from Ford SYNC Applink-equipped vehicles, giving customers the freedom to enjoy music from more devices than any other major cloud locker music service.
Free storage and backup: All AutoRip MP3s are stored for free in customers' Cloud Player libraries and do not count against Cloud Player storage limits. Customers can buy music and know that it is safely stored in Cloud Player and accessible from any compatible device.
High-quality audio: AutoRip music is provided in high-quality 256 Kbps MP3 audio.

The new AutoRip is great and it couldnt be easier. You keep offering more amazing services, and I am impressed every time. I will sing your praises to everyone I know! Thank you!
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!!!!!
